Mercedes-Benz GLC

For good reason, Mercedes-Benz is one of the most recognizable automotive brands in world. Each year, the legendary automaker keeps developing amazing vehicles such as the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC. Designed to replace the outgoing GLK sports-utility vehicle, the new GLC is a significantly better driving machine. Not only does this small SUV reward the driver with a sporty ride, but it can also handle a rugged off-road trail with no trouble. As anticipated, the interior is loaded with plenty of modern technology.

In an effort to boost the SUV’s performance without compromising fuel efficiency, Mercedes-Benz decided to install a four-cylinder engine. With the help of a turbocharger, the little four-cylinder engine is able to push out an impressive 241 ponies and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. Nearly all of the torque is available at a very low rpm, which should equate to a very quick performance on the road. A nine-speed automatic gearbox comes standard. Although the official fuel economy numbers have yet to be announced, the new GLC is expected to be much more efficient than the discontinued GLK.

According to Autoweek, the use of aluminum and high-strength steel helps to lighten the SUV’s weight. Despite the GLC’s weight-saving design, it is still an extremely stout vehicle. In fact, drivers can feel confident when traveling off-road. The bumpers have actually been sculpted to give the SUV more ground clearance when approaching rough landscapes. Meanwhile, the 4Matic AWD system should provide superb traction.

On the road, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC will handle noticeably sportier than the average SUV. While the Eco-driving mode helps to conserve fuel, the Sport-Plus mode immediately transforms the GLC into a more exciting performer. This is the type of vehicle that friends and family members will beg to drive. Although the standard suspension setup is quite sophisticated, the optional air suspension further enhances the GLC’s driving dynamics.

At first glance, the new GLC looks remarkably sleek. The SUV’s sexy physique is destined to attract a lot of fans. Its brawny front fascia is highlighted by a signature Mercedes-Benz grille. Like the front-end, the rear of the vehicle also looks athletic and muscular. The new GLC is a great option for the sports car lovers who need a more spacious and capable vehicle.

The interior is equally impressive. Even the base trim features Nappa leather and a rotary shift knob. The high placement of the display screen will definitely help to keep drivers from looking down. Amazingly, the SUV offers great legroom and without cutting into the available cargo space. With a total cargo capacity 56.5 feet, the Mercedes-Benz GLC proves to be an extremely flexible vehicle.

The amount of technology found on the new GLC is jaw-dropping. With the use of several radars and sensors, the SUV is able to keep the driver out of dangerous situations. Some of the cutting-edge safety features include Distronic adaptive cruise control, active headlights, and blind-spot monitoring technology. According to Business Week, the GLC is also available with a pedestrian detection system.

In terms of pricing, this groundbreaking SUV is rumored to start at around $39,000. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC is scheduled to hit showrooms at the end of the year.
