The Mercedes-Benz GLC made its debut in Vietnam in 2016, succeeding the highly successful GLK model. In stark contrast to the masculine and rugged GLK, the GLC boasts a completely different aesthetic.
Departing from the boxy design of its G-Class predecessor, the GLC embraces the sensual purity design language, featuring softer, rounded contours. This shift indicates that the three-pointed star brand is targeting a new demographic, appealing to female and younger, dynamic customers.
Not only has the exterior been transformed, but the German automaker has also completely revamped the interior. According to the manufacturer, the GLC offers more space than its GLK predecessor, with increased legroom in the rear and a more spacious trunk, providing an additional 80 liters of capacity. The vehicle’s dimensions have also been enhanced, making it longer and wider.
The GLC boasts a weight reduction of 50 kg compared to the GLK, thanks to its new body structure. The featured vehicle in this article is the top-of-the-line GLC 300 model from 2017, which has already clocked 72,000 km. It sports a unique emerald green exterior, a rare color choice for this model year. Most GLC owners opt for more conventional colors like black, white, or red.
In 2016, Mercedes-Benz also introduced the more affordable GLC 250, priced at 1.77 billion VND, offering essential features for a comfortable driving experience. Today, the GLC 250 can be purchased for just over or under 940 million VND, making it an attractive option for those seeking to enter the world of luxury SUVs. The GLC 300, featured in this article, carries a price tag that is nearly 100 million VND higher.
Under the hood, the GLC 300 is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine that delivers an impressive 245 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque from just 1,200 rpm, providing exhilarating acceleration. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, offering five different driving modes. One of the key distinctions of the GLC 300 is its air suspension system, not found in the GLC 250.
The GLC 300’s headlights feature automatic high beam assist, which expands the beam angle when cornering and adjusts the range while driving. In addition to standard safety systems, the GLC 300 is equipped with ESP Curve Dynamic Assist, which prevents understeer when cornering at high speeds, ensuring precise and safe handling.
With a price tag of just over 1 billion VND, the GLC 300 offers exceptional value. It combines cutting-edge technology, the renowned reliability of German engineering, and practical features that cater to modern drivers’ needs.
