DESIGN
True presence comes from the absence of excess. The all-new GLC is not just a clean-sheet design, it's a clean one. Sensuous lines and a toned physique reflect 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. In-car WiFi and Online Music Streaming are also available to keep your soundtrack on track. Disclaimer[1] Disclaimer[2] Disclaimer[3] Disclaimer[4]
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[5]
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 not just to bring you to the forefront of innovation, but to keep you there. 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 new virtual "transparent hood" can compose exterior camera views to show you what's underfoot on the central display. Tackling tough terrain just got easier. Disclaimer[7]
Takes dictation
The acclaimed “Hey, Mercedes” voice assistant lets you speak requests naturally in 27 languages, and learns more as time advances. Intuitive steering-wheel touch controls and touchscreen menus let your fingers do the talking. Disclaimer[8]
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[9]
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[10]
Watches the front
An available dashcam is built-in, keeping watch through the windshield like an unblinking eye. You can save what it records on your own compatible USB flash drive for playback outside the car.
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.
VERSATILITY
With turbo-hybrid power, an agile yet rugged chassis, and a flexible cabin in a highly rigid body, the new GLC is more 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.
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.
Fingertip finesse
The 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[11]
Modes for driving moods
With the tap of a single button, DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune your GLC's shifting, throttle, steering and more. Drive modes include easygoing ECO, Sport, OFFROAD, and an Individual program you can customize.
Room to roam
Beyond the standard power tailgate awaits a flexible, fully finished cargo area with an electric luggage cover. The 40/20/20-split seatbacks power-fold for up to 620 litres of space. A minispare hides under the flat floor. Disclaimer[12]
