Having made its global debut in June last year, the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC (X254) is bound to be launched in Malaysia very, very soon. Preliminary specifications of the SUV are what we have to share at this juncture though.

Features include MB's adaptive Digital Light LED headlights flanking the new star-spangled grille. Easy-Pack powered tailgate will be part of the kit, and so will massaging seats inside. These are all complemented by rear-wheel steering; a feature also found on the EQS.

These are all in addition to the entirely new design inside and out, which also brings cool stuff like updated Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), new offroad drive mode, and a 360-camera that allows one to 'see through' under the hood to tackle tough terrains.

Variants and extended features aren't disclosed at point of publication. Globally, the all-wheel-drive-only (4Matic) GLC is offered with a host of electrified powertrains: the range begins with mild-hybrids (GLC 200, GLC 300), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs, GLC 300e, GLC 400e), and the mild-hybrid GLC 220d and PHEV GLC 300de; the latter two being diesel-powered.

There will be a bit of waiting to do on the specs of the 2023 GLC for Malaysia, as well as the price. Currently, the outgoing Mercedes-Benz GLC (X253) is priced from RM 313,888 to RM 356,888.
