2021 GLC Performance Specs and Engine Options

The engines and powertrain are what make the GLC towing capacity a leader in its class. Although there are a few different powertrains to choose from, they are all capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. Let’s check out the engine options in more detail:

GLC 300 SUV and GLC 300 4MATIC® SUV

  • The 2021 GLC 300 SUV and the 2021 GLC 300 4MATIC® SUV are equipped with a powerful 2.0L inline-4 turbocharged engine providing up to 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque.

AMG® GLC 43 SUV

  • The 2021 AMG® GLC 43 SUV generates up to 385 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque with its AMG®-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo engine.

AMG® GLC 63 SUV

  • The 2021 AMG® GLC 63 SUV includes a powerful Handcrafted® AMG® 4.0L V8 biturbo engine producing up to 469 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.

For both of the AMG® trims, the 4MATIC® AWD system comes standard, providing you with all the power and traction you need. Even the GLC 350 trims without the AMG® package include the 4MATIC® AWD system, except the base model. Even though 4MATIC® isn’t necessarily needed to reach the full towing capacity, it can help you haul around Wilsonville.

2021 GLC Payload & Cargo Space

The payload capacity of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC is often around 1,466 pounds through each trim level. However, this greatly depends on which trim you choose, and if you add the Mercedes-Benz GLC tow hitch as an option. We recommend consulting your owner’s manual prior to towing anything to ensure your chosen configuration can handle it. In addition to the payload, the GLC provides ample cargo space inside with a total of 19.4 cubic ft behind the second row, and 56.5 cubic feet behind the first row.
