The German automaker Mercedes-Benz has produced a number of gorgeous cars, and the next generation of its GLC Coupe may be one of their best. Dubbed the GLC Coupe 2021, this upcoming model will be the first-ever to be fitted with a new 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. The all-new 4MATIC system will have three different modes - xDSG (eDSG), xSMI, and xMT. In eDSG mode, the GLC can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds while in SMI it can do so in 5.1 seconds. In xMT mode though, this crossover accelerates from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds and also goes up to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
Mercedes-Benz GLC 2021 Overall Design Overview
The new GLC Coupe will be practically identical to the current model, save for a few cosmetic changes. The car will continue to use the same AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system but come with a new 4MATIC system called xSMI. When in SMI mode, the GLC can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds. 4MATIC all-wheel drive system has always been a big hit with SUV and crossover lovers because of its practicality. This system has a transfer case that splits torque to either axle depending on the driving situation. With 4MATIC, you can drive on dirt or soft surfaces and also drive in the city with ease. But the new xSMI system has some interesting features that could make it a favourite of the urbane crowd. It is not just a torque vectoring system. It also has a launch control system and an electronic stability program that can help the car stay on the road if you let your foot off the pedal.
New 4MATIC All-Terrain System
The all-new GLC is not only going to be a cool car but also one that can tackle any terrain. The 4MATIC system is the same 545 Nm AMG 4MATIC system used in the S-Class. With it, the coupe can drive on almost any surface, be it sand, mud, or even snow. The system is electronically operated and works at up to 10.5 km/h. It is also equipped with a multi-plate clutch that can send torque to the wheels as well as a vacuum-operated limited-slip differential that helps it handle any terrain. The GLC can also be outfitted with the off-road package for even more power to tackle any terrain.
Latest Mercedes-Benz Safety Tech and Assist Systems
The GLC 2021 will come with a host of new safety tech and assist systems. Notably, it will have a new autonomous driving feature called e-mode. This is the first time a Mercedes-Benz will offer autonomous mode on a coupe. While the standard GLC comes with adaptive cruise control (ACC), e-mode will be a stand-alone feature for the 2021 model. It is basically a level 3 autonomous driving system. It comes with a front-mounted radar that is used to scan the surroundings and also a camera that can be used to see through the fog or rain. It can identify traffic signs, pedestrians, and other obstacles while also recognising vehicles automatically. The system can also be used to park autonomously. You can also set a destination before you start the drive and the car will automatically follow that route.
Latest Connectivity Options
The 2020 Mercedes GLC has two USB ports and two 12V power points. The 2021 model, however, will offer more USB ports and power points. All four seats in the GLC 2021 can be powered with a 12V power point, making it easy to charge multiple devices at the same time. The coupe also comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot, making it easy to share high-speed internet with up to 5 devices at the same time. The car also gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so you can connect your smartphone to the dashboard display for music and navigation.
Iconic 17-Inch Digital Display Screen and Complementary Apps
As the name suggests, the coupe will come with a large 17-inch display that can be used for entertainment purposes. The screen can be controlled with the new MBUX infotainment system. The system comes with a host of new features like a semi-autonomous driving mode, a new augmented reality (AR) mode, and a digital parking system. It is also one of the safest systems. MBUX is the most popular voice-commanded assistant in the market and is used in many other Mercedes-Benz cars. The GLC 2021 can be outfitted with the MBUX digital assistant that has a friend-finding feature. The assistant can look at images and identify the people in them. This can be used to help family members who have a hard time recognising each other. AR mode in the coupe can be used to view the surrounding objects in a different manner. It can also be used to view a map in a different way to make it more intuitive for you.
Final Word: The GLC 2021 Is One of the Best German Sports Crossover in Its Class
From its beautiful exterior to its driver-centric interior, the GLC 2021 is one of the best and safest German sports crossover on the market today. Apart from the latest all-wheel drive system, it also comes with the latest technology like autonomous driving, the new digital assistant, and an upgraded infotainment system. The coupe also looks good and has a very impressive top speed of 155 mph. Apart from being one of the most stylish cars in its class, it also has the most utility and is also one of the safest German cars available in the market.
