I am liking the looks of this GLC more and more as the details are been exposed on the mules. I hope they will launch it very soon, will be keen to see what engines and gearbox will be available.

Mercedes-Benz GLC confirmed for mid-June reveal
Will replace the GLK
Sources within Mercedes-Benz have confirmed Motoring the GLC will be officially unveiled in the middle of June.

The reveal will be made in the week beginning on June 15 when Mercedes-Benz will host the world premiere of the GLC at a special even organized in Germany. The same report says it will be available on order a month later so deliveries should kick off sometime this fall. A BMW X4-rivaling "coupe" version previewed by a namesake concept has already been green-lighted for production and will likely join the range in 2016.
Mercedes-Benz has decided to retire the "GLK" name as the compact crossover is one of the models affected by the company's new naming scheme. It will be known as the "GLC" to show its close connections with the similarly-sized C-Class from where it will borrow most of the hardware. The boxy appearance of the GLK will be replaced by curvaceous lines while those living in countries with the steering wheel on the right will be happy to hear the GLC has been engineered with a RHD layout as well.

Another major novelty is the forthcoming availability of a range-topping Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 / GLC 63 Coupe which will be reportedly have a twin-turbo V8 4.0-liter engine borrowed from the C63 / C63 S. Right below the fully-fledged AMG version is going to be an AMG Sport model equipped with a twin-turbo V6 3.0-liter.

I guess these Larson renderings were showing the potential R-Class successor, not the GLC...

The render looks like rendered for the next B-CLASS to me, I am not impress if it is the render for R-Class.

The GLC may come with an optional off-road package according to MB Passion, and an optional new three chamber Airmatic suspension. Also not so sure which AMG model will be offered. Suspect it might be the GLC 450 AMG.

any idea what's included in that off road packageWolf?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ Not yet. Might not be as comprehensive as the one for the GLE. The GLC will be revealed on June 17.

 

[vios1]

Hope that the interior will not be totally same as C-Class.

 

[Amat46]

^^it will be cut and paste from the C as far as I know. Personally I do not have an issue with it though as both are based on the same platform

 

[Rainer271]

^^it will be cut and paste from the C.

It's what I think too.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

^^it will be cut and paste from the C as far as I know. Personally I do not have an issue with it though as both are based on the same platform

Yup and the C interior is a fine place to be anyway.

The GLC is supposed to be 120mm longer than the GLK, and 50mm wider, and the trunk volume increases by 100 liter. The 9G-Tronic is expected and optional Air Body Control with three chamber Airmatic. The optional off-road package comes with 5 different settings. Latest rumors indicate this lineup at the start:

GLC 220 d 4MATIC
GLC 250 d 4MATIC
GLC 250 4MATIC
GLC 300 4MATIC

The GLC 450 AMG Sport (same engine as in the GLE and GLE Coupe) with probably more than 400 hp might only be offered in the Coupe, following by about a year.

I really wish the X3 and the 3er would be as good looking as the blown up C-Class T. Where Mercedes does 2 cars right, BMW adds the 3er GT...
