The New 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV: Form and Function Merge to Take a Luxury Turn Here in Houston
Discerning sport utility drivers with a predilection for the premium know one thing, if any, above all. It takes a distinctive set of advanced features and tech for a luxury SUV to stand apart from the rest.
Such an exemplar appeared as early as 2015 in the new Mercedes-Benz GLC, quickly capturing enthusiast hearts and minds, and a new model year returns in GLC 300 and intelligent all-wheel drive-equipped GLC 300 4MATIC® trims to again define the segment. From curvaceous fascia accented by chrome detailing to a sprawling, wide-track wheelbase atop wheels sizable for the off-road ride, it's certain: the 2018 GLC impresses. Step inside and experience it for yourself.
Handcrafted designo® Nappa leather appointments bedeck heated front and rear seats, settling you into the lap of luxury. The GLC climate control system even offers the option of air purified by ionization and imbued with fragrance to complete an inviting atmosphere flanked by rear-door sunshades and an expansive panorama roof for a dash of natural beauty. What's more, the SUV remains a showcase of a connoisseur's variety of human-centric technology to enliven the trip. A 7-inch color display-equipped central controller and optional touchpad-supportive COMAND® navigation put adjustments at your fingertips, and an available Head-Up Display can even project relevant metrics on the 2018 GLC windshield for at-a-glance convenience.
That performance is its order of the day seems an understatement, as the new Mercedes-Benz SUV evinces a winning combination of wind-tunnel development and track inspiration. It shows foremost in a 241-horsepower, 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine packing ample charge under the hood, driven by an eager 273 pound-feet of torque. Silkily slide the sportster's 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission into gear nigh ten and two using steering wheel-mounted shift paddles, and you'll find your drive becomes a pleasure cruise.
There's no shortage of panache, to be sure, as a four-wheel multilink suspension with selective damping and Torque Vectoring Braking deliver precision handling and response over uneven terrain and during turn-in. You can even avail yourself of optional multimode AIR BODY CONTROL® for ride height adjustment on demand, should you plan an excursion that takes you off the beaten path.
