The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC has been caught on camera while cold-weather testing ahead of its unveiling later this year.
Mercedes-Benz was conducting its winter tests in Scandinavia when YouTube channel CarSpyMedia spied the GLC, complete with its camouflage wrap.
While details remain unconfirmed, it’s thought this prototype is using a plug-in hybrid powertrain – possibly the 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine and 25.4kWh battery pack found on the C350e, sending 230kW and 550Nm to all four wheels through a nine-speed automatic.
Up to 100 kilometres of all-electric driving range is available on the more aerodynamic C350e, so it’s likely buyers of the 2023 GLC 350e will sacrifice a little range for its more practical SUV body.
Expect the GLC to also borrow its style from the newest C-Class, but the overall shape doesn’t appear to differ too dramatically from the current model.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is expected to be unveiled in the coming months, with a launch likely before the end of the year.
