Forget the old GLK, because the brand new GLC that's replacing it is noticeably bigger. The utility version of the C-Class, the GLC’s only variant is the GLC 300 4Matic. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo (241 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque) and equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and standard 4Matic all-wheel drive. Other drivetrains are in the works, including a diesel and a plug-in hybrid whose electric range is reported to be 34 kilometres.
