Mercedes-Benz GLC
220d 4MATIC diesel AWD automatic
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d tested here is a mild-hybrid SUV with a turbo-charged 2-litre diesel engine. The 48-volt mild-hybrid system helps the 2 tonne car bring down CO2 emissions, but not enough to reach Green NCAP's additional robustness testing. The consumption values are a tribute to the efficient diesel engine and help the car strive for a creditable rating. In the Greenhouse Gas Index, valuable points are lost due to the non-regulated laughing gas (N2O) emissions. The GLC performs most impressively in the Clean Air part of the assessment, demonstrating extremely efficient control of both gaseous and particle emissions, the latter being at ambient air concentration levels and amongst the lowest ever seen by Green NCAP.
Overall, the Mercedes-Benz GLC receives an average score of 55% and collects well deserved 3 Green stars.
