2023 Mercedes GLC AMG Line - Interior, Exterior and Drive: Following the introduction of the redesigned C-class sedan, Mercedes-Benz has performed a similar makeover on the 2023 GLC-class SUV.

Mechanically similar to the sedan, and like the sedan equally hard to tell from its predecessor, the 2023 GLC shares the C-class's standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine, 48-volt hybrid system, and nine-speed automatic transmission. A plug-in hybrid model will join the lineup later on.

The GLC's interior gains the same tech upgrades as the C-class sedan's, including the large, vertically-oriented touchscreen infotainment display and advanced driver-assistance features.

The styling makeover has resulted in subtle visual differences between the new GLC and the old one, but a longer wheelbase and slight stretch in overall length is said to improve cargo and passenger space, albeit only slightly.

The GLC-class is all-new for 2023 and although the outgoing model was offered in both a squareback and fastback "coupe" body style, so far Mercedes has only showed the former.

Pricing and Which One to Buy: Mercedes-Benz hasn't released pricing for the 2023 GLC-class lineup yet, but we expect it to be offered in both rear- and all-wheel-drive variants. When we learn more about the SUV's pricing and features, we'll report that information here.

A 48-volt hybrid system helps augment the powertrain, which is good for 258 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard as is rear drive, and Mercedes's 4Matic all-wheel drive system is optional. We liked the GLC300 we sampled on our introductory drive.

The 2022 model was rated for 22 Mpg city and 29 Mpg highway. When we get a chance, we'll take the GLC300 on our 75-mph highway fuel economy test route and publish its results here. For more information about the GLC-class's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
