2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Review - Automobile
Sure, the vehicle’s sneak preview in 2008’s “Sex and the City” movie didn’t do it any favors image-wise, but the styling always looked a little frumpy, the rear seat was cramped, and there was no doubting that the GLK was merely a glitzy cute-ute... But all that’s changed with the new GLK, renamed GLC in keeping with its C-Class bones. Moving rearward, the bodywork is more C-Class sedan than baby G-Class, ditching the utilitarian look for lines that would be at home in the valet lot of some of L. A. ’s better restaurants. It’s 2 inches wider, nearly 5 inches longer and incrementally taller. The chassis is based heavily on the C-Class but stretched for this application, giving it a nearly 5-inch-longer wheelbase than the GLK, which translates to more cabin space, especially for rear occupants. My 5-foot-11 frame fits fine in the rear seat with headroom to spare, and a 6-foot-2 colleague was able to get moderately comfortable behind a driver’s seat he had previously adjusted for his own driving position. Rear legroom is up more than 2 inches from the GLK. Source: www.automobilemag.com
