Car exhibitions
Mercedes-Benz is calling the Concept GLC Coupe a "close generation standard study," however you can call it the GLC car with great wheels. Pretty much as Mercedes appeared the fastback "car" rendition of the greater GLE-class before the square-back SUV model, Mercedes is seeing its GLK-class substitution in a sexier body style before revealing to us the SUV model. What's more, as with the GLE car, which deciphered about verbatim from idea to generation, this auto will be created much as you see it here. (The SUV rendition won't look very different, either, so long as you can imagine a squared-off rear end.)
We realized that Mercedes would pursue the BMW X4 with a purported car model of its C-class–based GLC-class—Mercedes reviewed it with this draw several weeks back so its development at the 2015 Shanghai car expo is no amazement. Contrasted and the C-class, it is an inch shorter long and rides on a half-crawl shorter wheelbase yet, at 78.7 inches, is more than six inches more extensive. In the event that the generation model takes after the idea's lead as nearly as we anticipate that it will, it will look truly damn great preferred even over the X4.
In reality, while BMW hybrid car styling looks fairly better in extensive print X6 structure, it is the littler of the Benzes that wears its creator's hybrid roadster outline maxim all the more regularly. While its face, body-side medications, and backside have a striking resemblance as the GLE's, the low roofline isn't as long, giving the GLC car less cumbersomeness and a greater amount of the lean strength a "car" assignment suggests. Likewise, similar to all other Benz "roadsters," the vehicle has frameless entryway windows and a protuberant, horizontally separated grille. We expect certain subtle elements will change, obviously, specifically the stunning 21-inch wheels, counterbalance quad tailpipes, and a portion of the grille innards. Something else, this current thing's prepared to go.
Fueling the Concept GLC Coupe is Mercedes' direct-infused 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 mated to a nine-rate programmed transmission and all-wheel drive, basically the same plant that powers the bigger GLE450 AMG 4MATIC to the tune of 367 strength and 384 lb-ft of torque. The presence of this motor in the Concept GLC Coupe persuades that the generation adaptation will be offered with that powertrain—maybe as a C450 AMG–aping GLC450—despite the fact that it stays to be seen whether the vehicle will likewise be offered as a Mercedes-AMG model, with the C63 AMG's tear grunting V-8 underhood. Positively, if a X4 M shows up as is prone to happen—you can wager a GLC AMG will soon take after. Alternately the other way around.
That said, we expect most purchasers will be fulfilled by the base GLC-class powertrain, which could be the same 241-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-chamber and seven-velocity programmed as the C300, both with back or all-wheel drive. The current GLK250 BlueTec's 2.1-liter diesel four-banger is likewise liable to show up in the GLC lineup.
For the record, Mercedes-Benz hasn't formally declared yet in the event that the GLC roadster will go to the U.S., despite the fact that we're generally sure it will. More points of interest are certain to approach once we see the hybrid show up, which we hope to happen later
