Mercedes GLC Coupe (2016) spied once more: Merc's going X4 chasing!

Crisp spyshots have surfaced of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe - a fastback, car propelled hybrid to challenge the BMW X4. It's a week prior to the auto is revealed at the 2016 New York engine appear.

The new pictures give us our clearest take a gander at the not altogether camouflaged Coupe topping off on diesel amid frosty climate testing in Sweden.

It's reasonable to see that Daimler is quick cottoning on to the open doors proffered by the all the more wearing SUV concoction; it's as of now sent a M-class-supplanting GLE Coupe to showrooms and the littler GLC - the successor to the GLK - will be next.

Mercedes GLC Coupe: the swoopier GLK follow-up

This auto takes after the idea appeared at the 2015 Shanghai engine appear. Mercedes straightforwardly indicated that it would dispatch such an auto without a doubt and now we can see they weren't clowning. It's gone for those needing a greater amount of the style of a car yet with the raised ride stature, bigger boot and 4wd engineering of a SUV. 

Supporting both GLC bodystyles is four-wheel-drive engineering and discretionary air suspension (exceptional in the area) captured from the C-and E-class ranges, including more noteworthy utilization of aluminum to spare around 80kg from the kerb weight. No back wheel drive models have been affirmed yet, however designs have told CAR magazine that it would be a straightforward, CO2-sparing move to dispatch one ought to the business sector request it.

When can I buy the Merc GLC Coupe?

The standard, high-rooftop GLC range went marked down in October 2015, valued from £34,950. Hope to see the roadster spied here to take action accordingly toward the end of 2016, fueled by a comparative scope of generally four-barrel petrol and diesel motors (straight sixes will take after once they debut in new 2016 E-class). The motor line-up is relied upon to mirror the consistent GLC, which implies it'll go something like this:

• GLC 220d 4Matic 168bhp, 8.3sec 0-62mph, 56mpg, from 129g/km CO2
• GLC 250d 4Matic 201bhp, 7.6sec 0-62mph, 56mpg, from 129g/km CO2
• GLC 250 4Matic 208bhp, 7.3sec 0-62mph, 43mpg, from 143g/km CO2 (Continent only)
• GLC 350e 4Matic plug-in hybrid 5.9sec 0-62mph, 21-mile zero-emissions range, 60g/km CO2

Simply recollect the lower roofline will probably encroach on headroom and bootspace; while the normal GLC has a spacious traveler compartment and 580 liters of loadbay, we expect both figures will recoil with this more swoopy bodystyle. The inside is relied upon to be a duplicate of the one as of now seen on the customary high-rooftop GLC (presented beneath), non-retractable mixed media screen what not.
