review : Mercedes GLC 300 2016

 

Redesigned for 2016, MERCEDES GLK replace GETS improvements C-Class

What is this?

Basically 0.2016 Mercedes GLC is a simple evolution of the GLK outgoing. Not simply, this is the off-road capable Lux C-Class people hauler. GLK did reasonably well in the luxury SUV small section, but it was one common complaint that it was too small - especially in the cargo area. In a review of the statute, and the Mercedes pulled and stretched the SUV in every direction: it's 2 inches wider overall width, gaining 4.6 inches in total length, and has a 0.3 inch more headroom.



To fit the shell stretched, wheelbase also a 3.6-inch gain, and track width front / rear nails on both 1.9-inch / 0.8-inch bump. All of these numbers boil down to that, and a stable sense of "the largest Ute wider than its predecessor.

I4 and produces 241 hp and moving monster two tons to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds.
Mercedes dropped a six-cylinder, and the only engine available is turbocharged I4.
In the pursuit of emission reductions, has been dropped from the V6 GLK instead of I4 turbocharged. Not be in bad company: Audi Q5, Lincoln MKC, Lexus NX, and Range Rover Evoques have already received the same treatment. And participate in the four-cylinder in the GLC with the C-Class, and produces a healthy power: 241 hp at 5,500 rpm to be exact, in addition to the very usable 274 pound-feet of torque at 1300 rpm. As it will ride the torque curve is flat all the way through 4000 rpm.



Carry over more than just ideas suspension and powertrain of the C-Class, and GLC 300 receives the touches of class sedan fraternity. Creases hidden under the beltline and grille, which seems that it can swap with the C-Class, and show the family resemblance - sloping roofline and tailgate more flexible design set apart from the boxy GLK. In spite of its looks sleeker and more elegant, and there is no sacrifice in the cabin space. Leg room and headroom in the rear seats both plentiful - in fact, the back and wide enough to fit three full-grown adults ... comfortably. Even with the optional panoramic roof, it should not be the cause of the rise for those taller.



Standard interior lives up to Mark Mercedes-Benz, but it looks like belongs to the sub $ 40K SUV. Which is fine, because this is exactly what is the GLC. However, the Interior DESIGNO are available for those who need luxury in droves, but just $ 1,450, and upgrades approximately deal.

The padded interior insert DESIGNO leather on the seats and door panels.
On the other hand, the interior DESIGNO electives are kind of worth the money. It is the inclusion of a padded leather on the seats and door panels feature, and can be combined with the rear seats are heated - matching the united front heated seats.
How do you pay?

241 hp from the new engine provides a nice, linear acceleration, which is what you'd expect from Mercedes-Benz, but you will not convince X3 driver 35I. 9 and G-Tronic transfer of nine new speed helps keep the rpms down, keeping you inside the torque curve. 0-60 time of about 7.45 seconds in Sport Plus mode. Not bad, given the gravity of this I4 seizures: curb weight and GLC is almost 3,900 pounds with rear-wheel drive system. The four-wheel drive nails 4-Matic system on the 120 pounds again, but it's not very noticeable.

In fact, there seem to be four-wheel drive system to influence the driving experience a negative at all. Guidance feel the same between both models, the suspension reacts only about himself.

Driving characteristics depend largely on what mode you select, but the hardware is an improvement over the GLK. Adding aluminum pieces all over the car, as well as the transition from three independent suspension system linked to the suspension of four individual link, helping to comfort and expression of the wheels.



Select dynamic, as he calls it the Mercedes-Benz, adjust driving, and a turning point and the throttle response on the GLC models with steel springs, and also determines the ride on models equipped with air controllers and the body's response. The five modes of operations are: environment, comfort, sport, and sport, as well, and the individual. Individual setting allows the driver to determine the characteristics of each of the preferred modes. Go through the different driving patterns of light on what it calls Agility Control Mercedes. This feature changes the characteristics of the car's handling on the basis of what the leadership that you have chosen - the development of a useful feature

Silhouette of GLC show obvious changes on the platform has under
Compared GLK outgoing, and this red cardinal green light from the sleek device simultaneously.
Environmental conditions and comfort feels very similar - light and guidance engine is not bouncing off of the specified review. Instead, the 2.0-liter remains unobtrusive, speed 9 maintains the rpms low level. We can not attest to the efficiency of the economic situation because we did not need to fill the cars, but Mercedes says it helps.

Sports put stresses on a little guidance, and lets the wind engine from a little more. Become more stable and precise shifts. Will blast around corners in sport mode almost made you forget you're in a four-wheel drive luxury cars 2 tons ... almost. Steel springs provide a comfortable ride without a lot of names, but due to the nature of the car, there will be a roll. Nose dive is also a bit on braking, but not enough to disturb the driver. We had all the early production models tested sprung steel, but we will bring you a write-up of the GLC 300 with air Supervisory Board soon.

Sport mode in addition to any further solidifies the leadership, and cast into the base of the window indicates the shift, making every shift is happening at the top of the tachometer. While handy feature perhaps the C63 AMG, it feels is necessary to gain the green light 300. performance feel little sport mode, and certainly some of the economy will not cost you in fuel consumption.

Hand controller looks very Star Trek
Maneuver the media system is more complex than it really should be, thanks to this console. It may look like in the new organization off the vehicle, but it feels outdated.
The experience of the semi-autonomous optional safety technology offered the GLC 300 is actually very capable. Non-invasive system excessively, such as some we've seen from other manufacturers, but it is claimed to be able to put up the corners. So you do not frown when removing your hands from the steering wheel for a long period of time - so do not do it. And Brake Assist Plus will take you to assist in the management and malaise while stuck in traffic, helping you in the stop-and-go situations.

Entertainment system for the car, do not touch, but it seems it should be. Visually jarring, the screen looks like someone floating in the Mercedes forgot to build one in the dash, and it was felt void in handy. What it lacks in the looks department, it makes up for it to exist ... freaking great. Tesla is not great, but the 7.0-inch optical give it weight. The system controls the dial, and buttons on the center console. It's fairly intuitive, but there is a learning curve mild to use the optional navigation.

Information and entertainment system seems like someone stuck an extra dash of Bad.
Nothing is perfect. Information and entertainment system just seems like an afterthought, and it was someone in a Mercedes to sacrifice iPad. Bad sacrificed do not have a touch screen enabled.
do you want that?

Mercedes GLC 300 comes in a compact SUV white-hot market against some heavy hitters. BMW X3 and Lexus NX both been outselling GLK aging period of time, but this new model must be convinced they have the intention of looking for a Mercedes SUV more entry-level luxury. However, the X3 maintain I6 in 2016, so if you're looking for a more powerful filter, which focuses on the BMW driver is about the last of its kind. There are signs on the green light, as well as hybrid diesel-powered model in the future, and that should be interesting buyers tends green

The advertised price of $ 39,875 for the Green Light Committee basic rear-wheel drive model is well in line with competitors such as the X3, and offers plenty of trucklet for the money. The problem with GLC300, as is the case with all German luxury models, but that base models may be rare, and is not that difficult a choice of one of these much more than $ 50K.
