The GLC will be powered by a set of 2-litre petrol and diesel engines capable of putting out 245bhp and 370 Nm of peak torque and 170 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque, respectively. Both the engines are mated to a nine-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. The petrol variant is called the GLC 300 while the diesel is called GLC 220d.
The diesel variant can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 8.3 seconds and go up to achieve a top speed of 210 kmph. The GLC 300 (petrol) variant is quicker with a 0-100 kmph sprint time of just 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 222 kmph. The petrol variant can be a hot-seller in areas like NCR due to the ongoing ban on 2000 cc and bigger diesel engines by the NGT.
