For those that didn\u2019t know, the Mercedes-Benz GLC is the facelifted variant of the outgoing Mercedes-Benz GLK and will feature a new name as part of the German marque\u2019s revised nomenclature.<\/p>\n<p>These spy shots confirm that the Mercedes-Benz GLC will be slightly larger than the entry-level GLA and compared to the current GLK, it is apparent that this prototype features a longer wheelbase and a wider track as well. Additionally, a stretched hood can be seen to accommodate for the longer wheelbase. With the larger dimensions, the GLC will better match its key rivals, the BMW X3 and Audi Q5.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-14478-118483\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t<!--

The 1.8-litre is pinned to power the GLC250 while the 2.1-litre should be found in the GLC250 BlueTEC. Elsewhere, a petrol V6 will be offered in GLC350 guise. The range-topping variant will come in the form of the AMG tuned version with it tipped to use a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine delivering 476 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n<p>The new Mercedes-Benz GLC is expected to launch late this year as either a 2015 or 2016 model year vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new series of Mercedes-Benz GLC spy shots have emerged of two lightly camouflaged prototypes in the midst of testing.
