The new Mercedes GLC, the GLK’s replacement, is clearly taking a turn for the curvy, completely renouncing its predecessor’s squarish lines for much more flowing shapes.

We’ve already seen the selection of photos provided by our spies, but this is the first time we’re actually seeing the GLC on the move, sporting the exact same level of camo as the ones in the stills.

Looking at the GLC drive by, it’s really rather pleasant to look at, certainly more so than the more upright and outright larger GLE. It looks like a sleek slightly tall estate sporting Mercedes’ latest styling ideals – a trend in itself nowadays. Perhaps this is what detracts from an otherwise appealing shape: the acute lack of differentiation between it any other new Merc.

When I first saw it in the video posted below, my first thought was that I was looking at a GLK. Even so, I think it’s miles more elegant looking than its BMW X3 rival. Scroll down and check it out!
