Bringing a much more efficient SUV driving with its hybrid engines, the 2022 Mercedes GLC is now more satisfying on the equipment side.
The GLC, which Mercedes has included in its product range since 2015, is transitioning to the second generation with the 2022 model year. In the new generation, the model, in which very serious improvements have been made on the efficiency side, is at a level that does not resemble the full electric car experience with the consumption values it promises over the hybrid versions. With the revisions made in the hybrid system, the 2022 Mercedes GLC, which can offer a consumption that decreases to 0.5 liters in the city, also gets the equipment it will obtain for the first time with its new infrastructure. It particularly highlights rear-wheel maneuverability, which will contribute directly to the premium driving experience. There are benefits.
2022 Mercedes GLC comes with an electric range of more than 100 kilometers
Developed on the MRA platform, the new GLC will be an SUV that has been moved further in size compared to its first generation. With a length of 4,716 millimeters, we see that the model, which is positioned approximately 61 millimeters ahead of the previous model, has also been improved by 15 millimeters on the wheelbase. With the combination of all parts of the model, which has been moved forward on the width side, a luggage volume of 620 liters will be waiting for users. The cockpit experience has also changed completely, and the new GLC features a 12.3-inch driver screen and the latest generation MBUX experience on a 12-inch multimedia screen. Promising a serious improvement in material quality, Mercedes has also increased the standard equipment of the vehicle. There is a scenario in which heated seats, wireless smartphone charging, 18-inch wheelset and full-LED lighting assembly come as standard on all versions. With the revisions made in the design, the friction coefficient, which was 0.31 cd in the previous generation, was reduced to 0.29cd, which stands out among our notes.
