Mercedes-Benz is due to unveil an all-new GLC compact SUV on June 1 2022 and the German firm has released a teaser image showing its rear design.

The GLC has proven to be hugely successful for Mercedes-Benz and with an all-new model on the verge of reveal, the Stuttgart-based firm will look to build on the success of its predecessors.

The single teaser image you see above shows the shadowy rear end of the new GLC showcasing a sleek rear taillight design and rounded body surfaces. With some minor digital manipulation, the image reveals the GLC’s rear-end more clearly.

As part of this latest teaser campaign, Mercedes-Benz states that the new GLC “combines an expressive, sporty design with a luxurious interior” while also offering “excellent off-road properties thanks to the standard-fit 4MATIC all-wheel drive and special driving programmes”.

Importantly though, the new GLC range will also feature plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology with an electric driving range exceeding 100 kilometres.

As the GLC is based on the new C-Class, which is built right here in East London, South Africa, it’s expected to share its powertrains which will include both mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. The AMG-fettled GLC derivatives are expected to follow after the reveal of the new GLC range.

The new GLC is also expected to be physically larger than the outgoing model and this should bode well for improved interior space for both passengers and load carrying ability.

We will update this article as soon as official details for the new GLC are revealed, so stay tuned!
