We delivered 820,721 units to our customers last year and this accounts for more than a third of all Mercedes-Benz sales. Among all of our SUV offerings, the GLC is currently one of our best-selling SUVs.”

They come with an all-new LED High-Performance headlamp design and are equipped with new, innovative features fitted with our luxury crossovers such as ‘Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)’ which is a personal, on board assistant supporting voice recognition and an ability to algorithmically learn preferences of the driver to create a perfect profile ensuring the driver will stay informed with important information or notifications all the way while the enhanced ‘Mercedes me connect’ allows a convenient trifecta of connection between driver, the vehicle itself, and authorised dealers of Mercedes-Benz at a touch.”
