Mercedes GLC 2023: the most advanced generation in history

The new Mercedes GLC 2023 has finally been presented. The second generation of the successful Mercedes Benz SUV comes with important developments in areas such as exterior design, interior, dimensions, engines and technology. The best Mercedes GLC in history is already a reality, much more powerful, much more efficient, much more advanced.

The new GLC 2023 is mainly inspired by the Mercedes C-Class and its older siblings, such as the Mercedes S-Class, models from which it adopts many of its aesthetic, equipment and technical features. Thus, the new GLC becomes one of the main pillars on which the new generation of Mercedes Benz SUV models is built, evolved and more complete than ever.

Exterior design Mercedes GLC 2023

The exterior design of the Mercedes GLC 2023 is characterized by combining elegant elements with sporty touches, without forgetting the more adventurous and robust side of Mercedes Benz SUVs. It all starts with a front dominated by a completely new grille, where the Mercedes star is placed in a central position, attracting all eyes.

The LED headlights are now sharper and are in a higher position. And the bumpers, which depend on the selected equipment line, have a more pronounced finish(AVANTGARDE), with chrome elements and plastic protection; or sporty(AMG Line), with large air intakes that emphasize the character of the new generation.

From the side, the powerful and sophisticated design of the new GLC 2023 can be appreciated. Clean surfaces, defined wheel arches with specific protections (in body color in the AMG Line version), side sills that facilitate access and exit of the vehicle, chrome details on window frames and longitudinal bars on the roof (black in AMG Line) and a pronounced rear window.

Finally, the rear of the Mercedes GLC becomes more sophisticated and complete. A roof spoiler and a large trunk lid accompany a much wider and thinner LED lights. Underneath, bumpers with chrome moldings and trim, or with a sportier style thanks to a large black diffuser. The entire exterior is accompanied by wheels in sizes from 18" to 20".

The measurements of the Mercedes GLC 2023: 4,716 mm in length, 1,890 mm in width and 1,640 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,888 mm. The new GLC is 60 mm longer, 4 mm lower and has 15 mm longer wheelbase than its predecessor.
