mercedes-benz has released pricing information for the new, second-generation glc. unveiled in june 2022, the german company's bread-and-butter model stands out from its predecessor with a sharper-looking design, bigger dimensions and a higher base price. at launch, the range will consist of a single model called glc 300. buyers will have three trim levels to choose from: the base model, a mid-range model called exclusive, and a range-topping version aptly named pinnacle. pricing for the full range is as follows: glc 300 rear-wheel-drive: $48,250 glc 300 all-wheel-drive: $50,250 glc 300 exclusive rear-wheel-drive: $50,500 glc 300 exclusive all-wheel-drive: $52,500 glc 300 pinnacle rear-wheel-drive: $52,600 glc 300 pinnacle all-wheel-drive: $54,600 note that all of the aforementioned figures include a mandatory (and surprisingly reasonable) $1,150 destination charge. in comparison, the outgoing 2022 glc 300 carries a base price of $44,900 including a $1,050 destination charge when equipped with rear-wheel drive. for the money, mercedes-benz includes a relatively long list of features such as led headlights, mb-tex upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heated and power-adjustable front seats, an 11.9-inch touchscreen for the mbux infotainment system, plus wireless apple carplay and android auto compatibility. stepping up to the exclusive trim brings a burmester surround-sound system, a navigation system, a surround-view camera and illuminated door sills. finally, the pinnacle model builds on the mid-range trim with an augmented video function for the navigation system, a head-up display, the company's digital light technology, plus heat- and noise-insulating glass. regardless of trim level, power for the 2023 glc comes from a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to develop 258 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. it's bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission. mercedes-benz dealers across the nation will begin receiving the 2023 glc in the spring. while nothing is official yet, it's reasonable to assume that additional variants — including an amg-developed high-horsepower model — will gradually be added to the range.
