THE GLC HAS BEEN A VERY popular model in the Mercedes-Benz range. Now, the GLC SUV lineup now gains a new model variant with the introduction of the new GLC 200 4MATIC SUV. A stylish and accessible compact SUV, this vehicle marks the first time this model has been offered with all-wheel drive in Australia.
The new variant also offers a significant list of standard features similar to the GLC 300 4MATIC SUV. Currently exclusive to the GLC 200 4MATIC SUV are a silver-grey diamond-pattern trim on the interior’s dash and 19-inch, 10-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in tremolite grey with a high-sheen finish.
Elevated exterior style
The new GLC 200 4MATIC SUV presents with an inviting array of exterior features. Highlights include the currently model variant-exclusive 19-inch 10-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels in tremolite grey with a high-sheen finish, aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs and LED high-performance headlamps with Adaptive Highbeam Assist. For a sleeker look, the running boards can be removed.
The panoramic sliding sunroof is complemented by heat-insulating dark-tinted glass, set against aluminium roof rails for the weekend adventure seekers. The standard parking package includes 360-degree camera with Active Parking Assist and the unique Transparent Bonnet feature to help the driver discern the terrain ahead. An auto-dimming rear view mirror, electrically folding exterior mirrors and ambient lighting with a projection of the Mercedes-Benz logo are part of the standard mirror package.
Modern luxury interior
Comfort and technology come together in the new GLC 200 4MATIC, creating an inviting interior for both weekday commutes and weekend escapes. The interior is elevated by the silver-grey diamond-pattern trim on dash and high-gloss black on the centre console, complemented by ambient lighting and illuminated door sill panels with ‘Mercedes-Benz’ lettering. The comfort seats in ARTICO upholstery in the front provide four-way lumbar support.
From the cockpit, the driver commands the GLC 200 4MATIC SUV via the multifunction sports steering wheel in leather. Convenient smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto is complemented by the wireless charging system for mobile devices in the front. In-cabin comfort is also enhanced by THERMATIC two-zone climate control.
With a luggage capacity of 620 litres, space is plentiful inside the GLC 200 4MATIC SUV, while safety isn’t compromised on thanks to nine airbags and state-of-the-art driver assistance technology. This includes Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Traffic Sign Assist and the PRE-SAFE System. For added peace of mind, the GLC 200 4MATIC SUV comes with a Tyre Pressure Loss Warning System and an emergency spare wheel.
Electrified engine
The GLC 200 is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, a 48-volt electrical system and a second-generation Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), enhancing engine performance at low RPMs. The 48-volt system enables functions such as gliding, boost, and recuperation, contributing to a tested combined consumption of approximately 7.5L/100km based on the NEDC test cycle.
The ISG adds up to 17kW and 205Nm to the engine’s standard output, while offering superior recuperation compared to traditional belt-driven starter generators. It also contributes to quicker, quieter engine restarts, making the stop-start system nearly imperceptible.
These technologies work together to provide smooth and efficient power from the turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which delivers up to 150 kW and 320 Nm of torque. Paired with a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the GLC 200 accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in around 7.8 seconds.
