Personally, I’d probably order my GLC this way with the Night Package, but White is the only standard paint color - everything else you gotta pay for - GOOD: 2:17 - Advanced tech In fact the whole interior is heavily updated and we’ll talk more about design later But here now you get an updated MBUX system which includes Wireless ACP and AA A new, more vertical style touchscreen we’ve seen now in the C and S Biometric driver profiles with up to 7 slots inCREDIBLE 360 cameras with the AR style view And the 360 cameras function as security camera to record incidents AR navigation which we’ve talked about before That’s tied into the screens and HUD Here you can also get digital headlights which will read road signs and project them onto the road so you can see more clearly You’ve got telemetry and offroad status screens You’ve got pressure sensitive seat adjusters OR you can enter your height and let the car take care of it for you Something we originally saw in the new SL You’ve got a wireless charger And a touch slider for your optional pano roof 3:24 - The drive It’s still a 2.0T 4 cylinder mated the the MB 9 speed transmission going to either the rear, or all wheels with 4MATIC BUT For 2023 now you’ve got a 48V mild hybrid system and now power comes in at 255 hp and 295 lbft Which means it’s a little faster too - 0-60 in the low 6 sec range 4:37 - Interior space The rear seats are the most noticeable to benefit form the added 2 inches for 2023 They’re big and comfy and feel palatial with the pano roof You get rear air vents and an optional climate zone back here too But you don;t get charges -weird But the trunk is also bigger this year The seats still fold 40/20/40 and you get grocery hangers And I believe it’s bigger than the Q5 and X3 There’s also a way to adjust the rear suspension height to make it easier to load heavy objects 5:20 - Fuel economy This new GLC is now rated at 26 mpg combined, which is up 2 mpg from last year And importantly is 2 more more than the X3 and 1 more than the Q5 5:46 - Luxuries Heated and cooled seats Heated steering wheel Heated rear seats* Seat kinetics Pano roof option slider operated even opens 6:13 - Towing All GLCs can tow up to 3500 lbs 6:26 - Cabin Design It all comes together to make you feel like your money went further than in the other brands 8 - Looks Fors starters your new grille is a little more rounded off, but aso now includes mini MB star elements - which is a nice little touch You’re got updated LED headlights -std And you CAN get that digital light system we talked about earlier Your lower fascia also get a little update And around the side you have a myriad of new wheel options The profile at large does look pretty familiar, but again you’re got that extra 2 inchs of length Chrome treatments are standard unless you go for the night package And then your rear end gets a set of updates too With revised taillights and that chrome bar in between - 7:28 - Conclusion
