Mercedes-Benz Canada today announced pricing and availability details for the modern, sporty and all-new GLC 300 4MATIC SUV, which will be available in Canadian dealerships coast-to-coast in June 2023 at a starting price of $58,900³.

The GLC is the most dynamic model in the successful SUV family from Mercedes-Benz. Even at first glance, this is underlined by its design with unique proportions, dramatic surfaces, precisely moulded edges and a clearly laid-out, high-quality interior. It also impresses with its driving performance and efficiency. Canada will be offering the GLC 300 4MATIC, a mild-hybrid with 48 volt technology and an integrated starter-generator. The GLC is at home on any terrain: whether on or off the road, it impresses with its comfort and agility. Off the road, it scores with numerous features such as the standard 4MATIC, the off-road screen and the "transparent engine hood".

The high standards of the new GLC are evident in every detail. For example, the latest generation of the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system makes it even more digital and intelligent - both the hardware and software have made a major leap forward: Brilliant images in the driver and central display make it easy to control vehicle and comfort functions. Both LCD screens offer a holistic, aesthetically-pleasing experience with information presented in a structured and clear manner. The full-screen navigation gives the driver the best possible route guidance. MBUX Augmented Reality for navigation is available as an option. A camera registers the surroundings in front of the vehicle. The central display shows the moving images and also superimposes virtual objects, information and markers. These include, e.g. traffic signs, directional arrows, lane-change recommendations and house numbers. This can make navigation much easier, especially in urban areas.

Standard equipment: significantly upgraded

Based on the luxury strategy of Mercedes-Benz, the standard equipment of the new GLC has been significantly upgraded and offers the customer a highly attractive vehicle right from the start. Popular features such as the large displays, smartphone integration, wireless charging and heated front seats are standard.

In addition, the packaging logic has been considerably simplified to reduce the effort of choosing from numerous individual options. Functional features that are frequently ordered together are now bundled into equipment packages on the basis of actual buyer behaviour. There are only very few functional options available beyond this. Where design options such as paint finish, upholstery, trim and wheels are concerned, our customers can configure their vehicles individually as before.

Design: Sensual purity, intelligence and emotion

The new GLC is immediately recognizable as a member of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family. Standard equipment includes chrome window surrounds and a new, chrome look simulated underguard. This adds striking design features and enhances the unique proportions of the vehicle. One of the defining design highlights of the GLC is the redesigned front end, with headlamps that connect directly to the radiator grille to emphasize the vehicle's width, and the new radiator grille, which now has a chrome surround and a sporty louvre in matte grey with chrome trim.

Other features of the sporty, confident appearance are the wide track and flush wheels in 19 to 20-inch size. Several of the wheels available not only feature a modern design with a high-sheen finish and bicolour surfaces, but are also aerodynamically optimized.

Interior: modern, sporty luxury

Welcome to the modern, sporty luxury of Mercedes-Benz: this is the message the interior of the new GLC already sends out in its standard configuration. The dashboard is clearly structured: the upper section has a wing-like profile with new, flattened round nozzles reminiscent of the engine nacelles of an aircraft. The lower section has a generous trim area that flows harmoniously into the curved centre console. The 12.3-inch (31.2 cm) high-resolution LCD screen in front of the driver appears to float freely before the wing profile and trim area. The 11.9-inch (30.2 cm) central display rises seamlessly and without joints from the centre console, and likewise appears to float above the trim area. Like the dashboard, the screen surface is slightly angled towards the driver.

Dimensional concept and practical details: great day-to-day operating convenience

The key dimensions of the new GLC emphasize the SUV's even more dynamic and powerful appearance. With a length of 4716 mm, it is 60 mm longer and 4 mm lower than its predecessor. The track widths have been increased by 6 mm at the front (now 1627 mm) 23 mm at the rear (now: 1640 mm). The longer vehicle length benefits the wheelbase and the front and rear overhangs. The vehicle width has remained the same at 1890 mm.

The luggage capacity benefits from the larger rear overhang and has increased significantly to 620 litres (+ 70 litres compared to the preceding model).

Improved aerodynamics: now Cd = 0.29

In its aerodynamically most favourable configuration, the minimal drag coefficient of the GLC is Cd = 0.29. This makes it two tenths better than its predecessor (Cd = 0.31) - a notable advance for an SUV with conventional drive.

Engines: systematically electrified four-cylinder units

The new GLC is available only as a mild hybrid with 48 volt technology and an integrated starter-generator. The engine range has four-cylinder units from the current FAME (Family of Modular Engines) Mercedes-Benz engine family. Accordingly, the engine range plays a major role in the flexibility of the international production network, with needs-based electrification. The engines are mild-hybrid units which receive intelligent support in the low rev range from a second-generation integrated starter-generator (ISG).

Off-road with the GLC

As before, the new GLC has also been explicitly designed for off-road driving, and is prepared for this use with several new features and systems. Standard equipment includes an off-road driving mode and DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation). In off-road mode, the GLC with 360-degree camera offers a "transparent engine hood": The central display shows a virtual view under the front of the vehicle, including the front wheels and their steering position. This is extremely helpful; it enables the driver to recognize obstacles such as large stones or deep potholes in his/her path at an early stage.
