2020 GLC300 touring version (but I miss my '93 300SE W140 tank)
Is 2021 GLC300 I4T engine belt-less

For instance, I've read that M-B is moving toward a belt-less engine which has a hard-mounted starter that also provides charging current. I have also read that this technology is available to the C class but I can't tell if it includes the GLC300. If so, does it provide 48V?

The 2021 GLC 300 does not have the 48V mild hybrid system, no.

Does it have a beltless alternator/charger?

Bump: Does anyone know whether the I4 engine in the base GLC300 has a engine-driven belt?

nope, it has a belt. Your 2021 GLC 300 engine is the M264 by the way.

I know the M256 found on the GLE has this already.
