Mercedes-Benz GLC: Redefining Midsize SUV Standards in Nigeria
Weststar Associates Limited, the authorized general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Nigeria, is proud to introduce the latest addition to the esteemed Mercedes-Benz lineup – the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC.
With its unparalleled blend of luxury, innovation, and performance, the second-generation GLC sets a new standard for mid-sized SUVs in Nigeria, redefining the automotive landscape in the country.
The GLC 300, the flagship trim of the new model, features a dynamic turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 258 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Notably, it integrates an advanced mild hybrid system, enhancing fuel economy by allowing the engine to shut off and coast under lighter loads. This innovative technology sets the GLC apart and promises future sport-focused AMG variants, offering even more diverse choices for discerning customers.
Setting a new benchmark for luxury and refinement, the GLC provides an exceptionally smooth ride over various road surfaces and offers a meticulously crafted cabin designed to provide a serene and quiet environment. The incorporation of the mild hybrid system enables the vehicle to seamlessly glide to a stop and shut off the engine when coasting, resulting in an unmatched level of tranquility on the road.
The GLC has made substantial improvements to its on- and off-road capabilities, particularly in challenging weather conditions and on rough, unpaved roads. This enhancement encompasses a simplified interface for off-road use, improved information display with the “transparent bonnet” feature, and enhanced control systems that provide optimal traction and handling safety.
Visually striking, the exterior of the GLC SUV boasts a unique design that combines classic features with new contoured edges, providing a balanced blend of elegance, sportiness, and off-road performance. The interior seamlessly fuses aesthetics with practicality, featuring the renowned Mercedes-Benz User Interface (MBUX) that sets industry standards with its intuitive touchscreen interface and touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel.
Furthermore, the GLC’s advanced driving aids, exceptional onboard navigation system with augmented reality, and superior wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration ensure a seamless and technologically advanced driving experience. The vehicle’s commitment to technological innovation is further reflected in the Burmester® surround sound system, offering an exceptional auditory experience for occupants.
In terms of practicality, the GLC-Class excels in real-world applications, offering a cargo capacity of 21.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats, which can be expanded by effortlessly lowering the flexible 40/20/40-split rear seatbacks nearly flat with the touch of a button in the cargo area.
The all-new GLC redefines the compact luxury SUV segment, offering an unrivaled blend of performance, comfort, advanced technology, and refined design. Now available nationwide at Weststar Associates Limited’s authorized dealerships, including Barbedos Cars Limited, MB Automobile Services Limited, Skymit Motors Limited, Sunny Motors Limited, and Tetralog Nigeria Limited, the GLC embodies the essence of luxury and quality synonymous with the prestigious Mercedes-Benz brand.
