PERFORMANCE
Enthusiastic and efficient, the GLC SUV offers turbo-hybrid power or a new plug-in hybrid with class-leading range. And with its agile yet rugged chassis, it's equally engaging and outgoing.
Mild hybrid for spicy power
A 48-volt mild hybrid system amps up performance electrically, efficiently adding gas-free boost of up to 23 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque to the turbo engine's 255 hp and 295 lb-ft.
The longest electric range of any plug-in hybrid SUV
The new GLC 350e can go up to 54 miles on battery power alone, while its spirited turbo engine can add another 364 miles. Electric in town, gas for the open road, and they can team up anytime for 313 hp and 0-60 in 6.2 seconds. Disclaimer[4] Disclaimer[5] Disclaimer[6]
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
Confident in any season, available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive can continuously adapt to help ensure power is sent to the wheels that can turn grip into go. A rear-wheel-drive GLC 300 model offers naturally sporty balance. Disclaimer[7]
Modes for driving moods
With the tap of one button, DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune shifting, throttle, steering and more. Drive modes include ECO, Sport, an Individual program you can customize, plus OFFROAD on 4MATIC® models. The GLC 350e adds three modes to maximize its hybrid benefits. Disclaimer[7]
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 scanner recalls your preferences.
Connections, unplugged
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto are standard, and wireless. So you don't have to plug in your phone to enjoy the benefits. Disclaimer[8]
Artisanal audio
The Exclusive Trim wraps you in Burmester® 3D Surround Sound. More than powerful, it's personal, with digital sound stages you can customize to your ear. Metal speaker grilles also please the eye. Disclaimer[9]
Tailored to suit you
The high-tech cabin also exhibits high-caliber craftsmanship. Contoured seats upholstered in a range of colors from warm Sienna Brown to bold AMG Power Red. Trim options include fine woods and modern metals.
Change in the atmosphere
Selectable 64-color cabin lighting lets you create the ambience that suits your mood, from subtle shades to multicolors in motion. The Exclusive and Pinnacle trim lines further illuminate the dash vents and doors.
Room to roam
Beyond the power liftgate awaits a flexible, fully finished cargo area. The 40/20/20-split seatbacks power-fold to create up to 56.3 cubic feet of space. Disclaimer[10]
INNOVATION
Artificial intelligence and real ingenuity join forces in the GLC to keep you at the forefront of innovation. From new 3rd-generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) to a front center 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[13] Disclaimer[14]
Gets to know you
MBUX adds new features and downloadable apps. New Routines let you automate music, cabin lighting or seat heating based on location, time, or even ambient temperature. Zero Layer menu tech keeps relevant items in reach on the big touchscreen. Disclaimer[15] Disclaimer[16]
Gives charge
With or without a cable, the GLC helps keep your devices powered up. Wireless charging and a trio of USB-C ports are standard. A sextet of 100-watt fast-charging USB-C ports, two for the rear cabin, is available. Disclaimer[17] Disclaimer[18]
Watches your back
Advanced assists watch the road and all around to help make driving easier and everyone safer, from cruising to new automatic lane changing. Standard Blind Spot Assist also checks for traffic after you park, for safer exits. Disclaimer[19] Disclaimer[20] Disclaimer[21]
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[22] Disclaimer[23]
Signals ahead
Available DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps can project icons directly on the pavement, to help alert you to pedestrians, lane drift or other hazards. They also adapt their beams to curves and vehicles ahead.
