Mercedes-Benz GLC
The Mercedes-Benz GLC is a compact luxury SUV taking on the likes of the Acura RDX, BMW X3 and Audi Q5. A new generation arrives for 2023, starting with the base GLC 300 4MATIC whose turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine continues to generate 255 horsepower but increases peak torque to 295 lb-ft. The interior is completely redesigned, too. A sportier AMG model and a GLC Coupe variant are expected to follow later.
