More performance in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC
The GLC offers two powertrains that cover all your needs. The turbocharged GLC 300 4MATIC is powered by a powerful and efficient 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine with an output of 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine is very well calibrated, with a fuel consumption of 11.5 L/100 km in the city and 8.5 L/100 km on the highway fuel economy. The 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic it is mated to is advanced and shifts very quickly.
This base engine is more powerful than the base engine in the X3 and very similar to the one in the Q5.
Next, you can order your GLC with the AMG-enhanced 3.0L V6 twin-turbo that develops 385 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque from 2,500 to 4,500 rpm, with a 0-100 km/h time of just 4.9 seconds. It has 31:69 front/rear AWD torque split. This assures outstanding balance under hard acceleration and while emerging from corners.
This is much more powerful than the Q5’s sportiest model, the SQ5, which only outputs 349 horsepower, and more powerful than the X3’s M40i model.
