Refined Mercedes GLC shows its C-Class on and off road - Birmingham Post

But now a C-Class SUV has joined the range of saloons, coupes and estates – and it’s set to be just as popular with fans of the three-pointed star brand. The GLC is a four-wheel-drive luxury package offering superb ride quality on road and impressive capability off-road. Generously sized, the GLC is powered by a 2. 1-litre, four cylinder diesel engine mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox using a column change gear shift as well as paddles behind the steering wheel. The AMG Line, tested here, is particularly distinctive with its sporty body kit, which includes front apron, rear apron and side skirts. The extra height of the GLC means it’s not only easy to get in and out of but capable of coping with a lot of bulky luggage. The interior is typically Mercedes – stylish, refined and very impressive with a nice blend of black leather and brushed aluminium on the dashboard, centre console and doors. The centre of the dashboard is dominated by a tablet-style display screen which is accessed by a combination of a touch sensitive mouse and a large dial on the piano-black gloss centre console.
