奔驰近日发布了GLC轿跑车设计草图,该车将在本月20日举行的上海车展首次亮相。为了应对宝马推出的跨界轿跑车X6，奔驰去年12月发布GLE轿跑车，虽然显得有些过于迟缓，但奔驰一直在努力跟上，现在准备推出GLC轿跑车以应对宝马X4。将在上海车展亮相的是一款非常接近量产版的概念车，而量产版将于明年或2017年发布。GLC轿跑车基于第二代GLK（目前以更名为GLC），因此两款车与C级W205共享同一平台，它们的核心部件也是相同的。除了通常的汽油和柴油引擎外，GLC轿跑车还将增加插电混动版，其设置与C350e共享。

 

Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe design sketch released

Mercedes-Benz has published a design sketch depicting the GLC Coupe set to be unveiled later this month at Shanghai Auto Show.

 

The Daimler-owned company was kind of late to the “crossover coupe” party as the BMW X6-rivaling GLE Coupe came out last December, but Mercedes-Benz now wants to make up for lost time by preparing an adversary for BMW’s X4. It’s called GLC Coupe and will be previewed in Shanghai by a “near-production-standard study” before coming out likely next year or in 2017.

 

It will be based on the second generation GLK (set to be called GLC) so it will ride on the same platform as the C-Class W205 from where it will inherit most of the hardware. Aside from the usual array of gasoline and diesel engines, the GLC Coupe will likely get a plug-in hybrid derivative with the same setup as the upcoming C350e.

 

We will have more details on April 20 when the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show will kick off with the first press day.
