AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/27 Report--
More and more high-end models of the Mercedes-Benz brand will be equipped with lower-engine engines than ever before, as the Mercedes-Benz brand's plans for small engines accelerate further. Recently, it has been exposed by the media that domestic Mercedes-Benz has confirmed that it will carry a lower engine.

According to a document exposed by the media, the Mercedes-Benz GLC will be unveiled as a new model, which will not only adopt the design of the latest Mercedes-Benz family, but also be adjusted in terms of power, replace with engines with higher power parameters and lower fuel consumption, and upgrade the driving system to meet the needs of the car to achieve a high-displacement driving experience with smaller engines.
Although Mercedes-Benz only confirmed the use of lower-engine engines, according to the entire range of models currently on sale, there are only 2.0T engines, followed by 1.5T and 1.3T engines on other models. Since the Mercedes-Benz GLC is a medium-and high-end model under the Mercedes-Benz brand, which is similar to the price of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, it is speculated that the new car will use the same M254 series 1.5T and 2.0T engines as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Even though the new engine has lower engine capacity, the 1.5T engine power (150kW) even exceeds that of the existing M264 Series 2.0T low power engine (145kW). It will also be used with a 48V light hybrid system, with power parameters exceeding those of the 2.0T low power engines carried by the BMW X3 and Audi Q5L.

As the cash model has been on the market for a long time, the product is in the final stage, and the terminal discount is quite high, which makes Mercedes-Benz GLC win the monthly sales crown of high-end SUV many times. According to data from the Federation of passengers, a total of 15330 vehicles were sold in November, an increase of 14.6% over the same period last year. The total number of vehicles sold for the whole year was 153000, far ahead of the same class of SUV models, and temporarily won the annual sales of high-end SUV.
Perhaps with the 1.5T engine model on the market, it will further lower the threshold of the GLC model, achieve a competition with the same brand model, and get a certain amount of sales. Although the engine with 1.5T displacement does not meet the middle and high-end positioning of Mercedes-Benz GLCs, Mercedes-Benz E, which is currently equipped with 1.5T plus 48V light mixing system, also has a stable market, so there is no need to worry about the GLC market for the time being, after all, the price is up to one million, and only 2.0T engines need a price increase, it can be seen that "Mercedes-Benz Standard" has a certain strength.
According to previous media reports, a new generation of GLC (V254 model) is undergoing technical transformation at the Yizhuang MRA factory. The new car is based on a flexible mode of production and will be produced in the same line with the new generation E-class car.
In addition, the new GLC with the platform of Beijing Mercedes-Benz new C-class has been lengthened, the wheelbase even exceeds the standard axis E-class cars, the new GLC is also expected to be lengthened. Further expand the advantages of two core competitors, Audi Q5L and BMW X3.
Although Mercedes-Benz, as a first-line luxury brand, comprehensively promotes small displacement, to a certain extent, it will widen the gap between consumers' understanding of the brand and the product itself, so that there are a lot of complaints about the brand on the Internet, but small displacement has become the current trend of engine technology improvement.
Therefore, from the launch of a number of models, we can see that Mercedes-Benz will promote the new car in the Chinese market in accordance with such a plan. In the future, 1.3T engines will be fully popularized to the compact level, including A-class, GLA, GLB, etc., while 1.5T engines and 1.5T+48V light mixing systems will be popularized to medium and even medium-to-large levels, and fewer and fewer 2.0T models will be available.
Mercedes-Benz is one of the most well-known luxury brands in China, with sales of nearly 570000 Mercedes-Benz passenger cars in the first three quarters of this year, up 8.3 per cent from a year earlier, according to official figures. Among them, the delivery volume of passenger cars exceeded 220000 in the third quarter, an increase of 23.4% over the same period last year.
