It is a part of the mid-cycle refreshments as the new-gen model is scheduled for 2025. The upgraded model will go on sale later next year and it will surely gain even more sales.
Latest spy shots are new and available GLC looks even more impressive. However, both exterior and interior will introduce smaller updates only. As for the performances, Mercedes plans to keep things intact. That means we can expect two powertrain options in 2025 again. The second powertrain is available in high-performance GLC43 variant.
Engine Specs, Transmission, MPG
The base GLC model is still using a 2.0-liter inline-four turbocharged engine This unit will get more power so the 241 hp output is now rated at 255 hp. The turbo-four engine delivers 275 lb-ft of torque. The rear-wheel-drive system comes as standard while you can buy an optional four-wheel-drive setup. A 9-speed automatic gearbox is very smooth and ride quality is super.
