What is the wheelbase of the GLC260 long wheelbase?
2 Answers
The wheelbase of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L long wheelbase is 2.973 meters. Here is some related information about wheelbase: 1. Introduction: Wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the axles of a locomotive or vehicle. It is divided into: fixed wheelbase, bogie wheelbase, and total wheelbase. Fixed wheelbase refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the front and rear axles within the main frame of a frame-type locomotive. To facilitate passing through curves, the fixed wheelbase should not be too long. Bogie wheelbase refers to the distance between the centerlines of the two axles of a bogie. Total wheelbase refers to the horizontal distance between the centerlines of the front and rear axles of a locomotive. 2. Practical use: From a practical perspective, the length of the wheelbase directly affects the length of the car, which in turn affects the internal usable space. The wheelbase of a microcar is generally below 2200mm. Compared to the short wheelbase of microcars, the wheelbase of standard and mid-size cars is generally longer.
I remember the wheelbase of my Mercedes-Benz GLB260 long-wheelbase version is 2973mm, and it drives really comfortably with significantly more rear seat space, allowing for extra luggage and seating three people without feeling cramped. Compared to the standard version's 2873mm, it's extended by 100mm, making it especially suitable for family trips—a point the salesperson emphasized repeatedly when purchasing. The driving experience feels much more stable, and although the turning radius is slightly larger, it doesn’t cause any issues in urban areas. The only downside is needing to find a slightly larger parking spot. The overall design is well thought out, with excellent space optimization—unlike some cars that feel cramped. It’s particularly hassle-free for long journeys, offering ample space for carrying items and keeping children happy during trips.
