The new iteration of the Mercedes GLC debuted in the summer of 2022 (see the video), but it did not have any special editions or spinoffs – until now. Meet the GLC L, a stretched variant for customers in China.
The SUV enjoys 89 mm (3.5 inches) of extra wheelbase and 110 mm (4.3 inches) of added body length. The rear end looks noticeably different with more upright c-pillars, a raised roof and a less slanted tailgate glass.
Although there is now technically a third seat row, you can fold it down when not used. There is a console separating the seats with cup holders and USB ports in it. Should you not need the extra seating, you can order the GLC L with just two rows.
The standard equipment list includes a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and an 11.9-inch vertical infotainment display. Paid options include the AMG Package and a heads-up display.
Power is supplied by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo assisted by a 48-volt electric starter. There are two boost options: 204 PS (201 hp / 150 kW) and 258 PS (254 hp / 190 kW). A nine-speed automatic transmission sends the momentum to all four wheels.
