The new Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is just around the corner now, with the company releasing an exciting video teaser to build anticipation.
As we already know, the GLC-Class will become the replacement to the old GLK. It will also form as an international model sized around the C-Class, ready to take on the likes of the Audi Q5 and BMW X3.
Unlike the GLK, which was made for select left-hand drive markets only, the new GLC will be made in right-hand drive and is set to make an impact on a global SUV market scale.
In the teaser video we get a quick look at some parts of the exterior as it undergoes stringent testing by Mercedes engineers. It’s understood the model will come with a similar lineup of powertrain options as seen in the C-Class, likely including a top ‘GLC 63 AMG’ performance version.
Inside, the GLC is set to come with a similar cabin to the C-Class, filled with plenty of luxuries and convenience-focused features. It will also provide the driver with a number of driving modes, including fairly serious off-road settings.
At the moment, Mercedes doesn’t offer a rival for the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. Its smallest SUV, the GLA, is based on the A-Class, while the next model up is the GLE (former ML-Class). The new GLC should be a very popular model for the company given the popularity of the Audi and BMW rivals.
