Certified Mercedes-Benz GLC

The Exterior

The exterior design is characterized by sporty features. A distinctive off-road look is accentuated by muscular surface contours and striking details such as the redesigned headlamps and the heavily contoured radiator grille.

The GLC Coupe stands out with its dynamic appearance and elegant lines. This model shows how harmoniously the design features of a coupe can be reconciled with those of an SUV, with a descending roofline, a greenhouse that blends perfectly into the silhouette, the character line in combination with the distinctive chrome strip on the high beltline, and muscular shoulders.

Both models are now equipped with LED High Performance headlamps as standard. Their contours have been significantly changed, and they are now smaller and flatter. This makes the torch-like outline of the daytime driving lights even more prominent, and the distinctive Mercedes-Benz light signature even more recognizable. The LED Intelligent Light System with Adaptive Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist is available as an option.
Redesigned all-LED rear lights are also included as standard.

The Interior

In the interior, a high quality of finish and high-grade materials such as Natural Grain wood are combined with user-friendly controls. As standard, both versions of the GLC feature the modern, learn-capable infotainment system MBUX – Mercedes-Benz User Experience. Its strengths include intuitive control using a variety of inputs such as touch control and the optimized voice control system (“Hey Mercedes”) as standard. The MBUX augmented reality function for navigation adds useful navigation information to a video image of the surroundings.

The driver assistance systems have been considerably extended. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist provide even more comfortable support to help the driver to keep a safe distance and steer. The speed is adjusted automatically ahead of bends or junctions. Active Lane Change Assist helps with changing lanes. The risk of potential collisions can be reduced with Active Brake Assist, by automatic braking if the driver fails to see oncoming traffic.

Dynamic Off-Road Appearance

Modernity, strength and versatility: These are what the design of the GLC and GLC Coupe stands for.

A strong off-road emphasis is provided by the prominent lines, muscular surface contours and striking details.
