2019 MERCEDES BENZ GLC (X253) 300d 4MATIC 9AT AWD (245 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The compact-sized SUV from Mercedes-Benz is offered either as an SUV-coupe or as a regular SUV. The 2019 facelift version shows new upgrades both aesthetically and technically.

On the outside, one can see the main differences on the front fascia, where the facelifted version has a different design, with bigger and better-contoured LED headlights, while full LED tail lamps are standard on the entire range. Newly designed 18 and 19 inch wheels and minor changes were made so the buyers will see why they are paying more.

The biggest changes are on the inside. Optional, the GLC can be ordered with a 12.3 inches display in the dashboard. The center display, with a floating design, has a 10.25-inch size and HD resolution. The driver can command the infotainment system in five different ways. Either via touch-control on the multimedia display, the touch-control buttons from the steering wheel, multifunction display, multifunction touchpad on the center console and gesture control. Last but not least, it can be commanded via voice control by saying “Hey Mercedes”.

Mercedes-Benz offers choices of gasoline and diesel engines, with four cylinders. The gasoline engines are offered with a 48-volt architecture and a belt-driven starter-alternator, which helps to lower the fuel consumption. The facelifted GLC comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive for the entire range.
