The new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC was officially launched, new car in the exterior, and interior, as well as power, and configuration levels have been adjusted accordingly, especially the power part, which will provide a full range of hybrid power, used to reduce carbon emissions, to help achieve Daimler's "Ambition 2039" climate commitment, in addition, the new car is equipped with some special In addition, the new car is equipped with some special features and technical highlights include digital headlights, rear-wheel steering, and new assisted driving system, etc. The plug-in version also has a similar Land Rover "transparent chassis" and "transparent hood" function, it is reported that the new car will be officially launched in the fall.

The new car's official drawings have a normal version and an AMG version of 2 versions, the appearance of the style compared to the current model is not a big change, the front part is largely the combination of the current version of the normal version and AMG version redo adjustment, you can see the following chart, the larger changes in the headlights, the shape is sharper, the internal light cavity structure changes, daytime running lights in the upper part, of course, the official drawings are optional digital headlights style, the regular version The internal structure may be different, in addition to the new GLC do open-eye design, at this point between Mercedes-Benz and BMW seems to be about the seemingly, Mercedes-Benz open-eye angle, BMW double link screen.

The side mirrors have been adjusted, from the current model's A-pillar and door angle to the door, which is conducive to reducing wind resistance and wind noise, in addition to the new five-spoke wheel shape more sporty.

The taillights are narrower and longer, and the internal structure, especially the light guide bar, echoes the front end. The interior of the light cavity is blackened, and dark trim is added between the taillights to create an effect similar to the through-tail lights, increasing the visual width of the rear.

The interior changes are eye-catching, but not unexpected, after all, as a product of the same platform as the C-class, directly copying the C-class interior is also normal, and the new C interior is also considered to be similar to the S-class, and well-received and praised, to use directly no problem. The central control uses no mask LCD instrumentation and a semi-suspended LCD screen, say that this design is not special, but Mercedes-Benz always through these or bright shiny, matte trim and trim, metal or leather materials, and exquisite craftsmanship will be the whole set of interior texture shaped, this is also really convincing.

The center screen is tilted 6 degrees toward the driver, equipped with the second generation MBUX infotainment system, a more digital and intelligent, voice assistant, with interactivity and learning ability, in addition, MBUX supports smart home function, can remotely monitor and control the family's devices, provide online music service, support OTA upgrade, optional 9-speaker audio system or Berlin Sound's 15-speaker audio system And about 25 inches of HUD head-up display.

Size, the new GLC length, width, and height of 4716 * 1890 * 1640 mm, length compared to the current model increased by about 60 mm, height reduced, width unchanged, wheelbase increased by 15 mm to 2888 mm, the interior space should be improved, the trunk conventional volume of 620 L, the second row of seats support 40:20:40 ratio down, can be Further expansion, but this size compared to the existing domestic extended version is still slightly inferior, I believe that the future domestic version should be further lengthened to maintain sufficient competitiveness.

The new car's minimum drag coefficient is 0.29 Cd, a reduction of 0.2 compared to the current product's 0.31 Cd, thanks to a series of adjustments made to the exterior, such as the rearview mirror position moved to the door, two-layer (front grille and front lip position) air control system, roof spoiler and integrated side spoiler aerodynamic design, front and rear wheel spoiler optimization, wheel optimization, etc.

Power, the new car will provide diesel and gasoline engines with 48 V light hybrid power or plug-in hybrid power, of which the light hybrid version has four sets of power combinations, an integrated second-generation starter generator (ISG), which can effectively reduce the jitter and noise of starting, run smoothly at idle, and recover energy to charge the battery when coasting, saving fuel. The gasoline version of the light hybrid model has a maximum output of 258 hp (190 KW) and 400 Nm of peak torque, while the diesel version has a maximum output of 269 hp and 550 Nm of peak torque. The plug-in version is equipped with three power levels of the fourth generation plug-in hybrid drive system, a built-in Mercedes-Benz self-developed 31.2 kWh battery pack, a pure electric range of more than 100 km, a maximum speed of 140 km / h, enough to meet daily use, support 11 kW domestic three-phase AC slow-charging and 60 kW DC fast-charging two modes, of which the fast-charging mode can be fully charged in 30 minutes.

The whole series is equipped with 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and the latest 4MATIC all-wheel drive system as standard, with front four-link and rear multi-link suspension, optional AIRMATIC air suspension (standard on plug-in models) and rear-wheel steering system, the former can increase ground clearance by 20 mm, the latter steering angle of 4.5 degrees, which can reduce the turning radius by 40 cm, and at speeds below 60 km/h At speeds below 60 km/h, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels, and above 60 km/h the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels, increasing handling stability. In off-road mode, two screens on the dashboard will display some information about off-road, including slope and altitude, and the "transparent hood" function can display a virtual view of the front of the vehicle on the screen in real time, including the front wheels and their steering position to help determine the driving conditions.
