New GLC arrives in Ireland


The second generation Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV has now arrived in Ireland at a starting price of €80,310, writes Brian Byrne.

The new car is longer and has a wider track than the outgoing version and a 70-litre increase brings boot capacity to 620 litres.

It will be available as a mild-hybrid in petrol and diesel, and plug-in hybrids in petrol and diesel which the carmaker rates at more than 129km of EV range (general PHEV real world experience is usually less — ED).

The first generation of the GLC was launched in 2016 and a facelift was revealed in 2019. A coupe variant was launched the same year. 

The best-selling model in the Mercedes-Benz range for the past two years, the car achieved 2.6 million units sales globally through its first generation iteration.
