    New platform

    The new GLC-Class underpins a new platform, which is an upgraded version of Mercedes' MHA (Modular High Architecture) platform. The architecture is designed specifically for high-riding models and brings significant weight savings with the increased use of aluminum over steel. The new underpinnings makes the GLC the most dynamic SUV from Mercedes.

    Hybrid engine setup

    The base trim of the new GLC is backed by a mild-hybrid powertrain, comprising a 2.0-litre inline-4 engine and a 48V mild-hybrid tech coupled with an ISG (Integrated Starter Generator). The engine delivers a maximum power of 204 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm, while the ISG is good for making 23 hp and 200 Nm.

    There is also a PHEV model that pairs the same mill with an electric motor, combinedly producing 313 PS and 550 Nm. Its WLTP-rated electric range is 120 km.
