FactIt grew six centimetres over the first GLC, yet the drag coefficient fell from 0.31 to 0.29 and the boot gained 50 litres, to 600.
The second-generation GLC (X254, with the C254 GLC Coupé and a long-wheelbase V254 for China) was unveiled in June 2022 and is built in Bremen and Sindelfingen, among other plants. It shares the MRA2 platform with the W206 C-Class and, like it, uses only four-cylinder engines with 48-volt mild-hybrid EQ Boost, plus plug-in hybrids with a 31.2 kWh battery, a six-cylinder diesel GLC 450d and the AMG GLC 43 and 63. It is larger than its predecessor, and mainline 4Matic models keep permanent all-wheel drive. The unrelated battery electric GLC (X540) is a separate model.

Owning one

It charges at up to 330 kW, adding 303 km of range in 10 minutes, and its optional Hyperscreen is a single 39.1-inch display across the dash.
It grew six centimetres over the first GLC, yet the drag coefficient fell from 0.31 to 0.29 and the boot gained 50 litres, to 600.
This GLC63 generation dropped AMG's signature V8 biturbo entirely — the S E Performance version makes its power from a 2.0-litre turbo four paired with a plug-in hybrid motor instead.
The second-gen GLC 43 quietly gets a more track-biased all-wheel-drive system than its own siblings — torque split 31/69 rear-biased, versus 45/55 on the regular GLC.
GLC isn't just initials: the "G" borrows from Geländewagen, tying Mercedes' compact SUV to the legendary G-Class.
