All-New 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d AMG Line In depth REVIEW Interior Exterior Start Up !!

Overview
Compact SUVs provide a balance of practicality and size that have made them one of the most popular vehicle segments. And if you want your compact SUV with a helping of upscale luxury and brand cachet, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class should be on your consideration list. Its sheetmetal is conservatively styled and carefully tailored. The GLC shares its platform with the competent C-class sedan, and much of the GLC’s interior design and infotainment tech carry over from its sedan sibling. The cabin is comfortable and assembled from high-quality materials. A 255-hp turbocharged four-cylinder comes standard and is hooked up to a nine-speed automatic and rear drive, with all-wheel drive an option. Acceleration is perky, but the GLC’s handling is less athletic and more cushy than rivals such as the Jaguar F-Pace and the Porsche Macan. The ride is comfortable, and the cabin remains well isolated from road and wind noise. Add to that the greater cargo capacity afforded by the GLC’s conventional SUV shape, and you’ve got a recipe for a small luxury crossover that perfectly expresses the upscale Mercedes-Benz ethos.
Interior, Comfort, and CargoThe GLC-class’s cabin wears nicely chosen upscale materials and a modern design with interestingly shaped air vents on the dashboard and heavily digitized control of the infotainment and HVAC systems. The steering wheel features irksome touch-sensitive control buttons for many of those same functions. All GLCs come standard with heated front seats with memory settings and adjustable lumbar support. Ambient lighting, a power-operated sunroof, and a power rear liftgate are also standard. Like other Mercedes models, the GLC-class can be heavily optioned with a host of features, including a panoramic sunroof, illuminated doorsill plates, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and leather upholstery.
Infotainment and ConnectivityMirroring the offerings in the C-class sedan, the GLC comes standard with Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX infotainment setup. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display relays important mechanical and speed information. An 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen swoops up from the center console and is canted ever so slightly toward the driver. The system can recognize voice commands and features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In-dash navigation is optional, and it comes with an augmented reality feature that overlays directions via an image of the road ahead on the display. Other notable optional features include a head-up display and a Burmester premium stereo system. There are no physical buttons for the HVAC system, nor is there a knob for the audio volume; the systems are controlled through the touchscreen, which in our view is a step backward in user-friendliness.
Safety and Driver-Assistance FeaturesThe GLC-class offers a host of optional driver-assistance features, but only basics such as automated emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring are standard. Going for the optional Driver Assistance package adds more advanced tech.

Key safety features include: Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection Standard blind-spot monitoring Available adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature
