PERFORMANCE
With turbo-hybrid or new plug-in hybrid power, an agile yet rugged chassis, and a flexible cabin in a highly rigid body, the GLC SUV is enthusiastic, efficient, engaging and outgoing.
Mild hybrid for spicy power
A 48-volt mild hybrid system amps up performance electrically, efficiently adding gas-free boost to the turbo engine's 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Electric in town, turbo for the open road
The new plug-in hybrid GLC 350e lets you drive gas-free for up to 87 km with a spirited turbo-four for road trips. They can even team up anytime for a 313-hp sprint to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
Multitalented multilinks
The GLC suspension is refined on tarmac, rugged in the rough. Mercedes-Benz pioneered both its 4-wheel independent layout and multilink design in SUVs and sport sedans, so it handles turns as well as it tackles terrain.
On the level, on the go
A self-leveling suspension helps the GLC 350e keep an even keel whether you're carrying cargo, traveling with passengers, or just going solo. It's standard on the plug-in GLC.
Fingertip finesse
The GLC's 9-speed automatic transmission puts passing power at your fingertips, with an electronic selector and shift paddles, all within reach with your hands on the wheel. Three overdrive ratios offer relaxed highway cruising.
Traction for action
For added confidence from winter's wrath to dry corners, standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive can continuously adapt to help ensure power is sent to the wheels that can turn grip into go. Disclaimer[1]
Modes for driving moods
With the tap of a single button, DYNAMIC SELECT can fine-tune shifting, throttle, steering and more. Drive modes include ECO, Sport, OFFROAD, and an Individual program you can customize. The GLC 350e adds three modes to maximize its hybrid benefits.
Room to roam
Beyond the standard power tailgate awaits a flexible, fully finished cargo area. The 40/20/20-split seatbacks power-fold for up to 1,680 litres of space (1,530 litres on the GLC 350e). Disclaimer[2]
DESIGN
Everything in perfect proportions: Flowing lines and precise edges are smooth to the wind, rugged in the rough, and elegant everywhere. The GLC SUV's design reflects the confidence and comfort within.
A portrait of you
The 11.9-inch central touchscreen is portrait-style and canted toward the driver. The 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster offers a variety of display designs. A fingerprint reader recalls your preferences.
Full stream ahead
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, and wireless charging, are all standard. So is SiriusXM® with a trial period. In-car WiFi is also available to keep your soundtrack on track. Disclaimer[3] Disclaimer[4] Disclaimer[5]
Artisanal audio
Available Burmester® 3D Surround Sound is more than powerful, it's personal, with digital sound stages you can customize to your ear and seating position. Metal speaker grilles also please the eye. Disclaimer[6]
Tailored to suit you
The high-tech cabin also exhibits high-caliber craftsmanship. Contoured seats upholstered in a range of colours from sleek Neva Grey to bold AMG Power Red. Trim options include fine woods and modern metals.
Change in the atmosphere
Selectable 64-colour cabin lighting lets you create the ambience that suits your mood, from subtle shades to multicolours in motion.
INNOVATION
Artificial intelligence and real ingenuity join forces in the GLC keep you the forefront of innovation. From new 3rd-generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) to a front centre air bag, its technologies look out for you, listen, and can even learn.
Adapts to you
Hundreds of vehicle preferences can be set up in-car or by smartphone, saved in any of seven user profiles, and called up via an in-dash fingerprint reader. The driver seat and mirrors can pre-position to your size.
Shows the down-low
If you take your GLC 300 4MATIC off-road, an available virtual "transparent hood" can compose exterior camera views to show you what's underfoot on the central display. Negotiating rugged terrain just got smoother. Disclaimer[8] Disclaimer[9]
Gets to know you
MBUX adds new personalization features. New Routines let you automate music, cabin lighting or seat heating based on location, time, or even ambient temperature. Steering-wheel touch controls and Zero Layer touchscreen menus accompany a digital voice assistant. Disclaimer[10]
Gives charge
With or without a cable, the GLC helps keep your devices powered up. Wireless charging and a USB-C port are standard up front. Additional ports are available for the rear cabin. Disclaimer[11]
Watches your back
Advanced assists watch the road and all around to help make driving easier and everyone safer, from cruising to changing lanes. Standard Blind Spot Assist also checks for traffic after you park, for safer exits. Disclaimer[12] Disclaimer[13]
Stands guard
Available GUARD 360° keeps virtual watch on the car when it's parked via the surround cameras. If another car bumps it, it can send an alert and images to your phone. Disclaimer[14] Disclaimer[15]
Brightens the way
Available DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps can adapt in real time to curves, lane formation and topography, along with driving speed and vehicles ahead. They also adapt for roundabouts, junctions and varying weather conditions.
