Mercedes-Benz GLC

Mercedes-Benz GLC Exterior

At the front, the Mercedes-Benz GLC new model boasts of a huge twin-slat front grille with the three-pointed star logo on it, flanked by stylish LED intelligent headlamps. Even the bonnet sports a pair of sharp character lines. Along the sides, the bulging wheel arches look neat and there's a nice, subtle shoulder line that runs the length on both sides of the SUV. Coming to the rear, there's a hint of a coupe-like profile with that sloping D-pillar and rear windscreen. Also, particularly attractive are the skid plate and twin exhausts. It also gets wrap-around LED tail lamps.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Variants

The Mercedes-Benz GLC variants are as follows: 200 4MATIC and 220d MATIC. For 2019, the 300 Sport variant – that demanded the highest on-road price for Mercedes-Benz GLC amongst other variants – is discontinued with the mid-life facelift. Features include electronically adjustable front seats with three memory functions, keyless entry with push-button stop-start, multi-function steering wheel with the binocular styled instrument cluster, three colour mood lighting, Artico leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a Burmester surround sound system and a 360-degree parking camera. On the safety front, it gets 6 airbags, active parking assist, ABS with EBD, and ESP.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Interior

Inside the cabin, the dashboard looks similar to that of the C-Class. The floating 7-inch infotainment screen is controlled by the new MBUX system and looks pretty modern too. The floating gloss-brown wood-finished centre console consists of three metal-finished air vents with dual zone climate control buttons. The interior appears well put together with fit-and-finish being top-notch. Seats at the rear provide sufficient support and are very comfortable. Shoulder room, knee room and headroom are never an issue. Rear occupants also get dual AC vents. At the front, you're seated quite high-up, and the seat height can also be adjusted.
