For those who are always keeping an eye on the latest news in the automotive industry, they must be well aware that Mercedes-Benz is prepping a new lineup of vehicle that will bear the GLC moniker. Well, now, in spite of the rarity of official images of the vehicle, the car has actually been caught on camera just recently. Believe it or not, someone has actually managed to snatch images of not one but three units of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC.
The cars were spotted in Germany and the good thing was that they were wearing almost no camouflage at all. Judging by the spy images, the GLC looks significantly more attractive when compared to the German marquee’s GLK lineup. For your information, the GLC is planned to take the place of the GLK. The GLC crossover from Mercedes-Benz may remind some of the company’s entry level GLA model. In addition to that, the GLC is also coming with lower air intakes on the front bumper surrounded by chrome accent, sweptback headlamps and a front grille featuring two bars. The spy images also reveal that the luxury German crossover is going to feature a roofline that slopes down gently, a beltline that sweeps upwards and also a couple of roof rails finished in chrome accent.
Moving further to the rear end of the car, it is easy to see the presence of a plastic body cladding besides a slender D-pillar that gives the car a more attractive look than that of its predecessor. Other elements noticeable on the rear fascia of the vehicle include dual exhaust pipes, a spoiler mounted on the tailgate of the vehicle and newly designed taillights.
As for the performance, it is believed that the Mercedes-Benz GLC will receive similar engine options to those of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. An AMG variant may be available, too, with a 4.0L V8 twin-turbo engine that delivers 476 PS and 650 Nm of power and torque.
