Mercedes-Benz GLC Specifications

₹77.00 Lakh to ₹78.00 Lakhex-showroom

🚗

The Mercedes-Benz GLC specifications are unusually simple, since both trims share 4MATIC all-wheel drive and sit ₹1 Lakh apart. Only the engine differs between them. A nine-speed automatic and mild-hybrid help feature on each. Both cars weigh much the same and share their running gear. The spec sheet reads almost identically apart from the engine. Grip is equal thanks to standard 4MATIC.

The GLC 300 4MATIC runs a 2.0 litre turbo petrol with 258 bhp and 400 Nm. The GLC 220d 4MATIC uses a 2.0 litre diesel with 197 bhp and 440 Nm. The petrol revs more freely, while the diesel pulls harder low down. Both engines measure close to 2.0 litres.

On fuel the diesel clearly leads at 19.47 kmpl. The petrol GLC 300 returns 14.72 kmpl, respectable for a powerful all-wheel-drive SUV. Read the GLC economy figures tied to each engine, then see what each GLC trim includes.

Length is 4716 mm on a 2888 mm wheelbase, and the 620 litre boot is among the largest here. The tank holds 62 litres and ground clearance is 201 mm. Width is 1890 mm and height 1640 mm. Seating is for five across two rows. The two cars weigh close to the same. The cabin is roomy for the class.

Because the two variants sit only ₹1 Lakh apart, your budget picks a fuel rather than a trim level. Standard 4MATIC means neither loses out on grip. Find the GLC on-road total to compare the two fuels fairly.

Mercedes-Benz GLC power and torque explained

The Mercedes-Benz GLC gives you two 2.0 litre turbo engines, a petrol and a diesel. Both drive all four wheels through 4MATIC, and both add a 48 volt mild hybrid and a 9 speed automatic.

The diesel is the muscular one that pulls hard from low revs and stays relaxed. The petrol has more power up top and likes to be revved, so it is the eager, sportier pick.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 2.0L Turbo Diesel Mild Hybrid spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 2.0 turbo diesel makes a big 440 Nm of torque at just 1800 rpm. That much pull, arriving so low, means the GLC moves off the moment you press on. Full power of 200 PS then lands early too, at 3600 rpm, only 1800 rpm above the torque peak. So all the effort happens low in the rev range, and you rarely need to work the engine hard. That makes it lovely for long highway miles and for the SUV loaded with family and luggage. Pick the diesel if you cover big distances and want quiet, effortless pull, then look up its on-road price near you.

The 2.0 turbo petrol makes 400 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm, so it also feels strong when you pull away in town. Where it pulls ahead of the diesel is high up, reaching 262 PS at 5800 rpm. Its peaks sit 3800 rpm apart, more than twice the diesel's spread, so it keeps gathering pace as the revs climb. That eagerness makes quick overtakes and spirited driving feel easy and natural. Pick the petrol if you enjoy a rev-happy SUV and your driving mixes town and open road. It helps to compare both engines across the trims before you decide.
