Weststar Associates Limited, the authorized general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Nigeria has introduced the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC, marking the dawn of the next era in midsize luxury SUV.
This fully redesigned model represents the second generation of the GLC, harnessing Mercedes-Benz’s legacy of comfort, refinement, and cutting-edge technology to redefine luxury in Nigeria’s automotive landscape.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLC debuts with the GLC 300 trim, featuring a dynamic turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 258 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
What sets this model apart is its integration of an advanced mild hybrid system, enhancing fuel economy by enabling the engine to shut off and coast under lighter loads. Anticipated future models include sport-focused AMG variants, promising even more diverse choices.
The new GLC exemplifies luxury expectations with its exceptionally smooth ride over various road surfaces. The cabin is meticulously crafted to provide a serene and quiet environment. The mild hybrid system allows the vehicle to seamlessly glide to a stop and shut off the engine when coasting, delivering an unmatched level of tranquility. While the front seats offer firm and supportive cushions, they provide comfort without extravagant flair.
The GLC has made notable improvements to its on- and off-road capabilities, particularly in challenging weather conditions and on rough, unpaved roads. These enhancements include a simplified interface for off-road use, improved information display with the transparent bonnet feature, and better control systems that provide optimal traction and handling safety.
