Mercedes-Benz flagged earlier in May that production could be moved to the USA since President Donald Trump's tariffs increased costs and threatened profitability of sales in the USA. However, the car manufacturer did not indicate which model was subject to transferring production.
If you look at what we want to achieve in terms of volumes with this model, there is reason to move production, says Mercedes' chief for North America, Jason Hoff.
The GLC cars are currently manufactured in Germany and last year, 64,163 units of the vehicle were sold in the USA - an increase of 58 percent compared to the 2023 sales volume.
The price tag per GLC car starts just under 50,000 dollars (approximately 490,000 kronor).
