Here are 10 unique features, including tops and flops, for the Mercedes GLC. Why & eacute ;? Since & eacute; & egrave; a model already; seen in detail both with Nicola, who tried the Plug-in version and, with Luigi who tried the GLC in the Coup & egrave; even off-road.

So back to us, let's see if I too can, in about five minutes , see with you the strengths and weaknesses of the & # 39; the star's iconic SUV.

ENGINES AND GEARBOX

The Mercedes GLC has many engines to choose from , there are 10 engines in the list that accompany the various versions. It starts from the mild hybrid petrol, which starts from 197 hp (more 14 hp than the electric motor) with the automatic gearbox of the GLC 200 4MATIC Mild hybrid to get to the 163 hp diesel only (GLC200 d 4Matic) not to mention the Plug- in hybrid (GLC 300) available with both diesel and petrol engines, with powers starting from 194 + 122 HP. The electric version is there, even if we have to switch to the EQC model.

Together with the many engines, available there & # 39; & egrave; the 9-speed dual-clutch automatic , punctual in driving more and more; calm, more & ugrave; ready in the most & ugrave; sporty. Like the electronically controlled suspensions, he too changes the return feedback based on the chosen mapping; chameleonic.

LEADING. VERSATILITY AND VISIBILITY

MBUX is a real digital ecosystem aboard every new Mercedes. The infotainment system is capable of offering a very high level human-machine interface experience as well as a high degree of connectivity, with support for OTA updates thanks to the connection via the integrated data network.

Its interface is; fluid , has clear graphics and then there are the voice functions via Hey Mercedes. Of course, the virtual assistant is not; perfect but & egrave; always improving. Not to mention that & egrave; the best on the market among the Automotive systems that we find in the cars of competitors.

The Mercedes & egrave; a premium car and I expect the same high quality for its assemblies and interiors. Here, the latter are not always. For example, there are very small burrs inside the passenger compartment .

There is; some details that could be improved such as solidity; of the door panels and the presence of some too much plastic even in the most & ugrave parts; in view of the dashboard and cockpit. In short, for its price and for being a premium car I expect perfection here as well.

TRUNK

Depending on the versions we choose, the trunk of the Mercedes GLC goes from a standard capacity of 395-550 liters, while folding the rear seats down to 1,445 -1,600 liters . Sure, more which is sufficient for most people, yet the trunk is; not very usable in height if the parcel shelf remains in position.

In the segment there is no; the best in volume but offers as standard the sofa that can be divided into 40/20/40 which increases versatility; but the seats are not sliding.

MERCEDES GLC CONFIGURATOR GOES PURE IN OFF-ROAD

We said: chameleonic and versatile in road driving , but she & egrave; also capable of taking us off-road thanks to the presence of intelligent all-wheel drive, which together with the suspension calibration and the package dedicated to driving more; hard and pure, it allows us to tackle even the heaviest bumps; difficult.
