Optional AIRMATIC air suspension technology

The electric GLC has an optionally available Agility & Comfort Package that includes the so-called AIRMATIC air suspension paired with rear-axle steering, which allows up to 4.5 degrees of steering angle in each direction. Be it on city streets or highways, the GLC offers outstanding stability, dynamic performance, and highly agile handling. This air suspension technology is from the S Class. “Uneven road surfaces and imperfections are almost completely absorbed, ensuring a remarkably smooth ride. The integrated adjustable damping system, familiar from the S Class, provides the ideal combination of ride comfort and sporty handling,” Mercedes said.

More Room

The new GLC has more legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The wheelbase, which is 3.1 inches longer compared to the current combustion engine-powered GLC, “contributes to a spacious cabin and comfortable ride.” The trunk provides 20.1 cu. ft .of space, and when the rear seats are folded down, it expands to 61.4 cu. ft. The so-called frunk (front trunk) provides an additional 4.5 cu. Ft. of cargo space, accessible via touch control.

EV Tech
The highlight of the new electric architecture is the 800-volt system. This technology optimizes efficiency and performance, “significantly reducing charging times when combined with the latest battery generation. In just ten minutes—about the time it takes to grab a coffee or check your emails—approximately 260 kilometers (WLTP) of range can be charged.1 DC fast charging at over 320 kW is possible. Country-specific, a DC converter enables the use of 400-volt charging stations,” Mercedes said.

Towing Capacity Up

The GLC 400 4MATIC with EQ technology – which launches first – has a towing capacity of up to 5291 lbs. (braked). The 220-lb tongue weight allows for the transport of electric bicycles among other gear on a suitable carrier. With ESP® trailer stabilization and trailer maneuvering assistant, the GLC is said to offer convenient and stable handling when towing.
