5 Elements that Make the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Stand Out

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is an all-new premium SUV that features the performance, luxury, and technology you expect from Mercedes vehicles. Here are five reasons you should choose one over its competition.

1. An advanced powertrain

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC comes standard with a very modern 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that benefits from a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Inspired by F1 technology, this system makes the 2023 GLC smoother, more efficient, and more dynamic by combining the advantages of combustion power and electrification. When you need power, both the engine and the electric motor work together to deliver 278 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. When you release the accelerator, the gasoline engine turns off and the GLC glides along until you stop or ask for more power. This allows an impressive fuel consumption of only 9.1 L/100 km on the highway and a very smooth driving experience. All 2023 GLC models also come standard with Mercedes’ famed 4MATIC all-wheel drive system which is designed to improve performance and safety in all weather conditions.

2. Loaded with tech features

The entirely refreshed 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the most technologically advanced vehicles in its class thanks to the latest from Mercedes-Benz in terms of infotainment and connectivity. This starts with the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that appears to float in front of the driver. This screen displays all of the information you might need while driving in an easy-to-read package that cuts down on distraction and lets you enjoy the drive even more. Next is an 11.9-inch center screen that houses the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system which includes the advanced voice assistant. This feature can understand your normal speech patterns, which means you don’t have to think about how to phrase your commands in order for the GLC to execute them. MBUX also allows you to display multiple functions at once on the center screen, which makes it easy to change climate control settings or radio stations while using the onboard navigation, for example. Of course, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard, along with a wireless charging pad.

3. A long list of driver assistance technologies

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the safest vehicles on our roads due to its generous complement of active safety features and driver assistance technologies. For example, every GLC is equipped with forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and vehicle exit assist, as you would expect for a vehicle of this category, but it also has a lot more to offer. Indeed, the 2023 GLC benefits from features such as Crosswind Assist, Active Parking Assist, Attention Assist, Adaptive Braking technology, and even the PRE-SAFE suite of features. Exclusive to Mercedes-Benz, PRE-SAFE uses an array of sensors to determine when a collision is about to happen in order to better protect the occupants by closing the windows, moving the passenger seat to a safer position, and tightening the seatbelts. The sound system even plays a specific sound that protects your hearing from the loud noises of a crash. Many other technologies are also available as options, such as adaptive cruise control and evasive steering assist.

4. More capable than you might think

While most drivers will never venture further than a gravel road, it is reassuring to know that the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC has some serious all-terrain capabilities. Indeed, you can select a dedicated off-road driving mode that alters the powertrain’s tuning and hill descent control takes care of the braking in order to maintain a safe speed while going down a steep grade on loose surfaces. In addition, the off-road page in the MBUX infotainment system contains useful information such as the vehicle’s coordinates, a compass, inclinometers, and the angle of the front wheels. For models equipped with the 360-degree camera system, selecting off-road mode also brings up a transparent hood feature that gives a view of what’s immediately in front of the vehicle, including the steering angle. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is also a good choice if you have to tow trailers regularly since it benefits from the towing route planner and the optional enhanced Trailer Maneuvering Assist, which takes care of steering in reverse to allow precise trailer positioning effortlessly.

5. Making comfort a priority

Despite its performance and its capabilities, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC is still a great choice for those who desire comfort and relaxation out on the road. This is because the new GLC benefits from standard features such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power liftgate, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and remote start via the mobile app. Additionally, options and packages can make any GLC into a truly luxurious vehicle, with equipment such as climate comfort front seats, thermal and noise-insulating glass, genuine leather upholstery, a Burmester 3D sound system, and enhanced Stop & Go for the adaptive cruise control.
