Why the Mercedes-Benz GLC is the SUV you really desire

Mercedes-Benz GLC: the jack of all trades in the premium compact SUV segment

It's no secret that most people look for high-riding vehicles these days, making SUVs out on the road a dime a dozen. Now with that said, how will you stand out?

Is it about having the most luxurious interior? The most elegant design? Or perhaps, the most impressive array of safety tech toys?

If those are the bases, then the Mercedes-Benz GLC is the one that ticks all the boxes for a premium SUV.

Mercedes-Benz is one of the luxury car brands in the market that has a vehicle that suits whatever type of lifestyle you have. Whether you want comfort, luxury, or performance, the three-pointed star has one just for you, together with cutting-edge design and quality developed through a century of experience.

Style Inside Out

Coming from a lineage of SUVs that began with the G-wagon, the GLC has the look that's unmistakably Mercedes-Benz with the right balance of elegance and sporty aesthetics. From the front to the back, every detail of the GLC's exterior has been carefully contoured to give the SUV a unique and strong presence whether out in the city or in the countryside.

Step inside the GLC and you're greeted with an interior that has a great blend of form and function. Every knob, switch, and screen is within reach of the driver, while its occupants can sit comfortably with the standard ARTICO leather seats. Together with digital screens, ambient lighting, and THERMATIC auto climate control, every time spent riding or driving the GLC is indeed one luxurious experience.

Tech and Safety

Aside from its opulent interior, the GLC also has a host of tricks that engages the human senses through the new Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system. Activated by the “Hey Mercedes” feature that adapts to your needs and preferences, the MBUX technology enables occupants to interact uniquely with the GLC with other voice commands and touch controls. The system works in conjunction with the GLC's 9-speaker sound system plus the standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay™ feature for a truly connected drive.

In terms of safety, the new GLC has plenty of passive and active tech toys to protect and minimize road incidents. With seven (7) airbags plus ISOFIX child seat mountings for its occupants, the GLC also has active safety features like Adaptive Brake Lights, Active Brake Assist with anti-lock system together with ATTENTION Assist drowsiness detection, and Electronic Stability Program (ESP®).

Everyday Practicality

Having a stylish and tech-loaded vehicle means nothing if it's a hassle when being driven, and that's why Mercedes-Benz pulled out all the stops making the GLC a highly versatile and practical daily driver.

When driving at night, the GLC's high-performance LED headlights give you a clear view of the road in any condition. And on winding roads, the steering wheel's shift paddles give you total control of the 9-speed automatic transmission, while the DYNAMIC SELECT enables you to choose the driving mode that suits your style.

Meanwhile, whether you're going to the supermarket or going out of town, the EASY-PACK tailgate and load compartment sensor means loading lots of stuff in the generous cargo bay of the GLC is made easy. And in case you need more space, the rear seats have a split-folding function for you to pack more stuff inside. 

In terms of maneuvering the SUV in tight spaces such as parking lots, the SUV is equipped with Active Parking Assist which goes along with the standard reverse camera.

With these qualities, Mercedes-Benz developed the GLC to deliver on all fronts as a premium SUV, exhibiting the design, performance, cutting-edge technology, safety, comfort, and refinement you would expect from a company that follows a very unique philosophy.

They want to build the world’s most desirable cars, just like the GLC.
