We also have a new spy video of the prototypes.
We’ve seen the Mercedes-Benz GLC Class ‘s camouflage cover disappear for a lighter wrap that hides a lot. We also got a glimpse of a test car that was completely exposed. However, it was only a small portion of the passenger side.
The sightings allowed Nikita Chuiko, Kolesa, to create a preview for the new SUV. The GLC Class is shown from the front and back. These renders highlight the expected changes to the fascias and the lights. Although the exterior design is modest, it’s an evolutionary approach to the formula. However, the more important updates beneath the surface are much more substantial. The new GLC-Class will be slightly larger than its predecessor, which means it is more than just a reskin.
New spy video captured prototypes in the snowy north to finish winter evaluations. We don’t see much detail because these vehicles have heavier camouflage than the thin logo wrap we saw in recent photos. The video gives us a glimpse of the SUV in action. In some cases, the camo wrap can reflect light and reveal body lines that are not visible otherwise.
When it comes to engine options, the next-generation GLC_Class should heavily borrow from the CClass. Turbocharged four-cylinder turbocharged engines will most likely dominate internal-combustion power, which includes eventual AMG models. The GLC also offers electrification with hybrid and plug in hybrid configurations. Mercedes-AMG’s top-of-the-line Mercedes-AMG model could produce more than 600 horsepower (447kilowatts) using a hybrid powertrain.
When will the camo wrap be officially released? Although a precise time frame is not known, the automaker is now showing prototypes driving in public with a body wrap made of Mercedes logos. It is safe to assume that a debut will be sooner than expected. The next-generation GLC-Class will be available before the end of the year.
