The Mercedes-Benz GLC (internal designation: X 253 ) is a compact SUV from the German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz , which has been available on the European market since the end of September 2015. The model designation with the letter G refers to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as the original model. The letter L historically indicated that the vehicle belonged to the luxury segment , but today it only serves as a connecting element to the third letter C, which indicates that the GLC belongs to the C-Class ( Mercedes-Benz 205 series ) with the the GLC shares a platform .

The GLC is the second generation of this SUV series and replaces the Mercedes-Benz GLK . Initially, two 2.1-liter diesel engines with 125 to 150 kW and a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 155 kW were offered at the market launch. All of these vehicles with classic combustion engines have turbo-charged engines and, with the exception of the GLC 300 (USA), all-wheel drive . The starting price for the GLC 250 4MATIC is 44,506 euros. With the GLC F-CELL there is also a model with F-Cell drive , the fuel cell technology from Mercedes-Benz.

In April 2015, the design study of the GLC Coupé was presented at the Shanghai Auto Show . The production version of the coupé was presented on March 23, 2016 at the New York International Auto Show , in September 2016 this version was launched as a production vehicle.

At the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019, Mercedes-Benz presented a revised version of the GLC.

Technical specifications

The GLC was initially only offered in three engine variants ( 250 4MATIC , 220 d 4MATIC and 250 d 4MATIC ). In April 2016, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC (270 kW / 367 PS) and the plug-in hybrid GLC 350 e 4MATIC (235 kW / 320 PS) were added, with the 2016/2 modification year also the GLC 300 4MATIC and the GLC 350 d 4MATIC . The Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 4MATIC (350 kW / 476 PS) appeared in 2017 .

F-Cell

Engine compartment with fuel cell

A pre-production model of the GLC F-Cell was presented at the IAA 2017 and the first technical data was published. The electric motor ( asynchronous machine ) with an output of 147 kW (200 hp) delivers a nominal torque of 350 Nm and drives the rear axle. The electronically limited top speed of the vehicle is 160 km / h. The electrical energy for the drive can be provided by a lithium-ion battery with a net energy content of 9.3 kWh (gross 13.8 kWh) as well as by the fuel cell. A purely electric range of 49 km (according to NEDC) can be achieved using a battery. The battery can be recharged via an on-board charger with a maximum output of 7.2 kW ( plug-in technology ) and is also used for recuperation while driving in all driving modes. The GLC F-Cell is the first fuel cell vehicle whose electrical energy storage can be charged externally. Battery and fuel cell form a symbiosis, with the battery contributing its respective strengths in terms of dynamics and the fuel cell in terms of uniform operation. In addition, the relatively large battery avoids “power peaks” that affect the life of the fuel cell when accelerating and, in view of the small number of hydrogen filling stations, extends the range and possible uses.

Two carbon fiber jacketed tanks with a total capacity of 4.4 kg of hydrogen serve as energy storage for the required hydrogen . As with the B-Class F-Cell, the gaseous hydrogen is stored at a pressure of 700 bar, which enables a refueling time of approx. 3 minutes for a range of 437 km with hydrogen (without taking into account the additional range provided by the battery, a total of 486 km ). The first pressure tank is located in the center tunnel of the vehicle, the second under the rear seat bench. The fuel cell system is significantly more compact than its predecessor, so that it could be fully accommodated in the engine compartment. It is a so-called polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEM). Compared to earlier PEM fuel cell systems, 90% platinum, 25% weight and 30% installation space could be saved, which makes series use more economical. The combination of the two energy stores increases the curb weight to 2130 kg. The trunk volume is 500–1600 l.

The fuel cell system of the GLC F-CELL has a special technical feature, because for the first time an electric turbocharger is used instead of a screw compressor to supply the fuel cell with air. For the first time, the waste heat from the fuel cell can also be used to drive the turbine, which increases the efficiency of the system by around 15%. A special feature is that the charger shaft is supported by an air gap: This prevents the fuel cell from being contaminated with hydrocarbons from the lubrication of conventional roller or plain bearings.

The GLC F-Cell has been available for leasing as a series model (internal designation N 253) since November 2018. In 2018, 51 GLC F-Cell were newly registered in the Federal Republic of Germany.

On April 21, 2020 it was announced that production of the F-Cell will be discontinued and that no further vehicles based on the fuel cell are planned.

Plug-in hybrid

The plug-in hybrid GLC 350 e 4MATIC has an electric motor integrated in the transmission housing with a maximum output of 85 kW and a torque of 340 Nm. In conjunction with the four-cylinder M274DEH20LA petrol engine, this results in a system output of 235 kW (320 PS) and a system torque of 560 Nm. According to the NEDC , a purely electric range of 34 km can be achieved. Since auxiliary units such as the water pump , vacuum pump , power steering pump and air conditioning compressor have been electrified, the conventional belt drive is no longer required. The generator is also eliminated, the 12-V power supply is a DC / DC converter fed from the high-voltage onboard network. The approx. 120 kg lithium-ion battery with 8.7 kWh of energy is located behind the rear axle , which reduces the luggage compartment volume from 550 to 395 l with the rear seat back upright. It is a lithium iron phosphate battery consisting of 120 cells (22 Ah, 3.3 V) connected in series with a nominal voltage of 396 V. Overall, the GLC 350 e 4MATIC is 215 kg heavier than the comparable GLC 250 4MATIC . To distinguish it visually from the other engine variants , the GLC 350 e 4MATIC has blue accent panels in the headlights, blue-painted brake callipers at the front and a PLUG-IN HYBRID badge on the fenders.

With the 2020 model year and the facelift, the GLC 300 e 4MATIC was presented at the IAA 2019. The electric motor now has an output of up to 90 kW / 440 Nm, the battery has a capacity of 13.5 kWh, which enables a WLTP range of 43 km. The onboard charger offers up to 7.4 kW AC on 2 phases. The transmission switched to a 9G-Tronic, the petrol engine stayed with the M274.

production

The GLC is mainly manufactured at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen and Beijing. Due to the high demand, the GLC has also been produced by the Finnish contract manufacturer Valmet Automotive since the beginning of 2017 . Valmet Automotive is expected to deliver 50,000 units annually. Since the fourth quarter of 2018, the GLC has also been manufactured in the Pune plant ( India ) and delivered from there to the USA, after the US market was previously served by the Bremen plant.
