The Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, and its GLK predecessor, have sold in excess of 2.5 million units since a 2008 introduction. It’s Mercedes’ best-selling model. All of which makes a new one a big deal. Due to be revealed later this year as a 2023 model, we got the jump on driving the new GLC in prototype form, while Mercedes massages its new model prior to launch.
Driving at Mercedes’ Swedish winter test facility, on hard-packed snow and ice, the new GLC-Class was wearing a light disguise inside and out so we’re not going to comment too deeply on its design. But as our renderings show, it’s safe to say the automaker isn’t going to be messing too much with the styling of such a hot-selling model, so think evolutionary, rather than revolutionary.
