A NEW GLC with EQ Technology is being introduced by Mercedes-Benz and the car maker says it marks a turning point in the midsize segment.

It leads the way with an elevated design language and intelligence powered by the AI-driven MB.OS superbrain.

Built electric-first, as the first model in a completely new vehicle family, is claimed to exceed in performance, range, efficiency and charging speed.

The new GLC offers more legroom and headroom than its conventionally powered siblings as well as an impressive 2.4-tonne towing capacity.

Centrepiece of the interior is the MBUX HYPERSCREEN which at 39.1 inches is the largest screen in a Mercedes-Benz to-date.

The MB.DRIVE systems in the all-new GLC take advantage of up to ten external cameras, five radar sensors and twelve ultrasonic sensors to offer first-class advanced driver assistance.

And with intelligent air suspension familiar from the S-Class, the all-new GLC has good ride comfort which is combined with 4.5-degree rear-axle steering for exceptional agility.

The top-of-the-range model at market launch, the GLC 400 4MATIC with 360 kW with up to almost 450 milesof range. Mercedes says four further models will follow.
