SPYSHOTS: Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class (formerly GLK)

Spy-Photo

Last month we showed you a rendering and some spyshots of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. Let’s remind ourselves of the Tristar’s new naming rules – the GLK is to be renamed GLC, because it’s C-Class-based. Look at the interior and see if you can spot some differences.

Unlike its boxy predecessor, the new GLC wears a more curvaceous dress under a slightly larger body, giving the smaller GLA more room to breathe. Also, unlike the GLK, there will be right-hand drive GLCs, reports say.

More potential markets, then – will Malaysia be among them? If so, the Audi Q5 and BMW X3 will soon no longer be on their own in these markets.

Speculated is a base GLC 250 with a new 1.8 litre four-cylinder turbo engine, a GLC 250 BlueTEC with the familiar 2.1 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel and a V6-powered GLC 350. We’ve seen something before that could be a GLC 350 e plug-in hybrid, and our carparazzi expects AMG versions in the future, too.

    Muya, well managed GLC should be praised. They don’t take your money but you pay for their service.

    Dear Muya,

    Penang Government openly used public money bought and maintained their luxury fleets, Mercedes S-class. Out of stupidity, they even claim the maintenance would be cheaper, it is well known the monthly payment itself is overwelhming National carmaker or Sushi maintenance cost + monthly payment. That car that Penang Government bought out of public hard earned money, they used it to tell the public that they are the Boss, very Ah Being like, parked everywhere they feel like it to. For example, Penang chief minister, even his wife with half a million pendant did so.
    Petronas is a GLC company has given back to the public in many ways.i.e. employability, education, technology sharing and scholarship to the public. Well done Petronas. What has Penang LGE of DAP give back, increased water tariff by 20 PERCENT, introducing Bed tax, systematically polarising the Bumi’s and the Chinese low income earner. Even badmouthing our beloved Malaysia openly to Hong Kong Investor during Media event. What a Khianat and Hina they are, so KHINA. So not WHERE but WHEN these KHINA will stop using our hard-earned money and think they are the Boss??

    SIncerely

    You really bought that daft accusation by Khina Rafizi. You are equal to him. That flight is not a private jet. It bought for the Emperor replacing the aging flights >20 yo, befitted for them as a symbol of Malaysian sovereignty. Have you looked at The Queen of England’s flight. Khina Rafizi within just a short term mp without successful business background could earn over RMY 2 millions. Khina Nga Kor Ming with just being a mp for 2 term, he is able to built a White House of Malaya. Resident of Jetty has realised this. ThinkaThink?

    Jangan senang dipengaruhi oleh hasutan orang lain.
    Use our brains and eyes.
    We need to vote the better party, the better one, that’s it. Nobody is perfect.
    It is okay for me, if only 1% of 20billion is eaten, and the rest is properly used to majukan negara. No absolute black or white, just the better.
