Weststar Associates Limited, the authorised General Distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Nigeria, has presented an all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC, marking the dawn of the next era in mid-sized luxury SUVs.
This fully redesigned model represents the second generation of the GLC, harnessing Mercedes-Benz’s legacy of comfort, refinement, and cutting-edge technology to redefine luxury in Nigeria’s automotive landscape.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLC debuts with the GLC 300 trim, featuring a dynamic turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 258 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
What sets this model apart is its integration of an advanced mild hybrid system, enhancing fuel economy by enabling the engine to shut off and coast under lighter loads. Anticipated future models include sport-focused AMG variants, promising even more diverse choices.
The new GLC exemplifies luxury expectations with its exceptionally smooth ride over various road surfaces.
The cabin is meticulously crafted to provide a serene and quiet environment.
The mild hybrid system allows the vehicle to seamlessly glide to a stop and shut off the engine when coasting, delivering an unmatched level of tranquility. While the front seats offer firm and supportive cushions, they provide comfort without extravagant flair.
The GLC has made notable improvements to its on-road and off-road capabilities, particularly in challenging weather conditions and on rough, unpaved roads. These enhancements include a simplified interface for off-road use, improved information display with the “transparent bonnet” feature, and better control systems that provide optimal traction and handling safety.
The exterior of the GLC SUV boasts a unique design that combines classic features such as simulated chrome underguard, roof rails, and optional running boards with new contoured edges on the sides for a balance between elegance, sportiness, and off-road performance.
The new headlamps, which connect directly to the radiator grille, are a highlight and accentuate the vehicle’s width. Combined with the optional digital light, they feature daytime-driving ellipses and the well-known “torch”. Another design highlight is the GLC’s sporty front radiator grille with the Mercedes-Benz pattern.The interior of the GLC seamlessly fuses aesthetics with practicality.
The renowned Mercedes-Benz User Interface (MBUX) continues to set industry standards with its intuitive touchscreen interface. The steering wheel incorporates touch-sensitive controls, providing an advanced alternative to traditional buttons and knobs. The GLC offers extensive seat adjustments, ensuring optimal comfort for drivers of all sizes.
