Updated Mercedes-Benz GLC Debuts in China

Sales of the updated Mercedes-Benz GLC have commenced in China. The model retains its previous exterior design and engines but features revised trim levels with an altered equipment package and lower prices.

In the base version, the panoramic view cameras have been removed, and the four-zone climate control has been replaced with a two-zone system. The second trim level no longer includes advanced navigation, though adaptive cruise control remains. In the two most expensive versions, side running boards, passenger-side control buttons, welcome lighting, and augmented reality navigation have been omitted.

At the same time, ventilation for the front seats, heating for the rear seats and steering wheel, and cabin fragrance system have become available for the crossover. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is produced exclusively in a five-seat configuration.

All versions are equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine delivering a maximum output of 204 or 258 horsepower. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The interior features a digital instrument cluster and a vertical central screen, while higher trim levels include a premium surround-sound audio system. Top-tier versions also offer a head-up display and multicolor ambient lighting.
