Mercedes-Benz GLC Spied Sporting Little Camo
The Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is set to debut in a couple of days, but after a look at these new spy photos there won’t be much left to reveal.
AutoGuide.com’s spy photographers have caught the production GLC testing just ahead of its unveiling, revealing the German automaker’s next luxury crossover. Replacing the current GLK-Class, the GLC will get rid of the outgoing model’s sharp and boxy lines for something more curvy and fluid, much like all its new-generation models.
It will also follow Mercedes-Benz’s new nomenclature where its crossover and SUV models will be similar to its traditional models, that being the entry-level C-Class, the midsize E-Class and the range topping S-Class. As a result, expect a GLC, GLE and GLS to eventually round out the company’s lineup.
