Mercedes GLC price from 1.77 billion Vietnam

The number of 650 customers who pre-ordered before the launch date was described by Mercedes Vietnam as "surprising" because it is difficult for any competitor to reach the same level.

GLC is another name for GLK when the German luxury car company changed its naming system. The car can be considered the "SUV version of the C-class" when it was developed on the chassis of Mercedes' best-selling compact luxury sedan in Vietnam.

It's not hard to see what Mercedes will do with the GLC because the SUV has a similar shape to its siblings like the GLE or GLS. Those who were hesitant about a GLK that was too angular and masculine can now look at the GLC with different eyes. The smooth, sleek lines follow the "unisex" style that the media has been attaching to Mercedes recently. Because the German car company is having a strategy aimed at women.

However, those who are fascinated by a rugged and masculine GLK will have to say goodbye to that style because Mercedes does not keep any of the past. Anyway, it is a necessary change, especially when there is success of C-class and GLC in the world market.

Compared to the GLK, the GLC is more long-wheelbase and aerodynamic. Compared to rivals like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, the GLC is smoother and more elegant, although it may not be as stylish.

All dimensions of the GLC are larger than the GLK. The length is extended by 120 mm and the width is 50 mm. The wheelbase is 2,873 mm, larger than the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, so the interior space is expanded, creating a spacious and open feeling.

The interior has many similarities with the C-class, using mostly curves and a mix of leather, wood and alloy materials to create an emotional space. Panoramic sunroof. 3-color interior ambient lighting and a 13-speaker Burmester sound system with a capacity of 590 W.

Mercedes launched two versions of the GLC on the market: GLC250 4Matic and GLC300 4Matic. The GLC250 version is equipped with a 2-liter I4 engine with a capacity of 211 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm.

The GLC300 version is also equipped with a 2-liter I4 engine but has a higher capacity of 245 horsepower and maximum torque of 370 Nm.

Both are equipped with 4Matic all-wheel drive and 9G-Tronic 9-speed automatic transmission. GLC is the first SUV equipped with this 9-speed transmission in Vietnam.

Mercedes sets 4 running modesComfort, Eco (fuel economy), Sport (sporty) and Sport + (sportiest). The driver can choose the driving modes according to his style. One of the things that makes the difference compared to traditional Mercedes.

On the terrain, the GLC has Slippery modes for slippery roads. Off-road for rocky terrain, sandy roads or trails. Incline for mountain passes, steep slopes or bumps. Finally, Trailer for towing a trailer or starting on grass.

Mercedes GLC's safety equipment is still fully equipped according to the tradition of putting passengers at the center such as ABS anti-lock brakes, ESP electronic balance, EBD electronic brake force distribution. Automatic emergency braking. Collision Prevention Assist Plus has the ability to automatically decelerate when encountering danger. The headlights automatically adjust the high beam when encountering oncoming vehicles, expanding the beam angle when cornering. Rear view camera.

The price for GLC250 is 1.769 billion VND and GLC300 is 1.919 billion VND, including VAT. Thanks to the advantage of assembly, the price of GLC is much better than competitors such as BMW X3, which is priced from 2 billion to 2.4 billion VND. Not to mention Mercedes' sales system is much wider.

With the GLC, Mercedes hopes to increase the proportion of SUVs to 30% of sales. Especially to take market share from Japanese rival Lexus.
