The Mercedes GLC has so far racked up more than two million sales globally since it replaced the GLK back in 2015. Around 400,000 units or 20 percent of the total volume were generated by the swoopy GLC Coupe, which will transition to the next generation in mid-March. Ahead of its world premiere, the BMW X4 competitor is being previewed as the three-pointed star has been nice enough to share some preliminary technical specifications.
We're being told the GLC Coupe will be 32 millimeters (1.25 inches) longer than before, stretching to an overall length of 4763 mm (187.5 in). 15 mm (0.6 in) of the added length will go into the wheelbase, now at 2888 mm (113.7 in). The increased proportions will pay dividends on the inside where the more spacious cabin will hold 545 liters with the rear seats in place or 45 liters more than its predecessor. Fold the rear bench and you get 1,390 liters. For the plug-in hybrid versions, cargo capacity is up by 30 liters to 390 liters or 1,200 liters after dropping the rear seats.
