2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC ‘First Look’
I’m Tara and I’m here at mercedesbenz headquarters to meet up with Ashley one of our product managers we’re going to take a first look at the allnew GLC and learn why the tech and design make it the perfect right size SUV so this is it this is the new GLC
This is the allnew 2023 GLC SUV oh the rims it’s the details for me Ashley tell me what’s new with this so it’s all new with the 20203 almost every detail has been improved enhanced or modified in some way you can already tell the design and the shape of it is a
Little bit different it’s 2.4 in longer so that gives you an additional 2.5 cubic feet of space in the cargo area it’s important oh super important whether you have kids or you’re just an adventurer on the weekends and need that extra space gives you versatility and freedom yeah for sure something looks
Very different than what I’m accustomed to seeing the side mirror yes good eye there it was something I was like this is different for me can you tell me a little bit about it the side mirror is now fixed to the body instead of to the
A pillar like it was before helps the wind move around it a little bit smoother but also the really important thing is it creates a quiet Serene cabin atmosphere so when you’re inside you’re not hearing as much road noise and wind there’s additional acoustic foam throughout the entire vehicle to give
You a peaceful environment or let you turn up your music and make whatever environment you want to on wow that’s impressive what’s Digital Light I see that there’s something Digital Light great question so Digital Light that has over 10 million pixels oh my gosh so it actually uses the radar sensor and the
Maps to identify how much light needs to be projected at a certain time I mean that’s good cuz I would need that with my kids in the car and at night and driving down some of the country roads to get home safety benefit it’s just something about the
Star like when you’re pulling up and you see the star and the grill is impressive I mean the star is mercedesbenz but specifically here I mean you see that Chrome detail in the Stars this AMG line adds a little bit extra flash to the front of the vehicle yeah it’s beautiful
The GLC is giving me very sleek and sporty from the grill the black the black rim it’s like a blackout yes so these black rims they come with our AMG line which also includes night package black rims the black side mirror and also the black roof rails which would
Normally be Chrome if you get it with the standard line now we have nine different wheel offering so if you don’t want the full blackout look you can get with black accents or if you don’t have the AMG line with night package you can also get them in Chrome as well now that
Paired with our 11 different paint options you really get to customize the car to look exactly how you want so make it fit your personality yeah like being able to personalize it and put your own swag to it I’m I’m a fan of black like I
Love it it it makes it look sleek and I don’t want to be like the you know the the soccer mom you know all the time you want be a cool soccer mom be a cool soccer mom and and the GLC I know can give me that for sure so as we’re moving
Along the vehicle I wanted to point out that the car is actually 2.4 in longer than its predecessor now where that really comes into play is in the cargo area which is 2.5 cubic feet of additional space it comes with a spare tire as standard wow so if you ever
Driving around especially here in Atlanta 285 Nails potholes all over the place all the time now while the exterior design is stunning the real star of the show is the interior how would you like to take her first spin what really let’s Go wow this is impressive it’s just as sporty on the inside as it is on the out absolutely I mean look at this black and red leather upholstery it’s beautiful I love it I mean in the screens oh yeah so all of this is completely new so this is
Now a 12.3 in driver display and an 11.9 in center display now something cool about this Center display is that it’s kind of tilted torgy notice yeah it’s kind of like the Mona Lisa right it’s like if you walk past the Mona Lisa the eyes follow you but you can feel like
It’s tilted where you can see it’s right for you so this car is driver oriented and it’s big enough right can you change the brightness abely you can absolutely change the brightness and also this is touchscreen oh so you no longer have any Center controls it’s all touchscreen but
You may also notice you have controls in your steering wheel one of the other things I like to point out is here on the side panel this is a new design as well so it’s spread out perfectly so you have your seat controller right here door handle obviously memory seats for
The driver and the passenger the passengers will yes wow so you got a tall husband a short kid everyone has their seat exactly how they want it but also heated seats standard on this vehicle wow I see that is this my imagination or is it lighting behind
That is lighting so we have our ENT Lighting in this car all of the cars do come with ambient lighting that you’ll see right up through this trim here I didn’t even see that now I see it and you know pulling it all together is this
Trim here so we also have new center consoles we’re seeing the metal weave here and the black Ashwood here kind of fits that AMG mood that we have going on on the interior yeah wow what else inside Ash is I mean let’s let’s talk about this inductive wireless charger
Another new stand standard feature I know for me personally my battery is always running on low I got that battery saver on constantly so that’s a game Cher for me it’s a luxury of not having to worry about the and it also creates a nice little compartment for the phone as
Well so you’re not like oh gosh where do I put my phone right you don’t really need your phone because all the the navigation and the technology is here within the system right and it has Wireless carplay it’ll come straight on filling the whole screen it’s everything
You need right there in the Apple carplay I can’t wait to take this for a drive you ready to go yeah is it okay if we stop by my succer practice sure let’s do it cool let’s go I can’t believe I’m getting to drive the GLC yeah so you’ll see when you’re
Pulling out of a spot your cameras automatically come on it’s like it’s a drone above you where you see everything around you like I’ve I’ve never you are sure to not miss a thing with this kind of view on the car it doesn’t drive like a SUV it feels
Very sporty I would say it feels very sporty very Comfort sport you don’t feel like you’re kind of lugging along the highway you’re actually getting that smooth quick power delivery you can hear that that horsepower yes you can so underneath the hood of this vehicle we
Have a 2 L inline 4 cylinder engine now with this you get 255 horsepower and 26 69 lb per foot of torque wow now I can feel it yes you can that’s a solid amount of power we’ve got our nice Pano roof in this car I love seeing the light come in
Really brightens up this interior the extra sunlight it feels more spacious in the car and just a good feeling overall now there’s our Safety assistance features so what that was was your blind spot alert there so you saw you not only had a visual warning with the red
Triangle blinking in your side mirror but also an audible warning yeah I definitely heard that alert and it you were not going to be moving it triggered the Safety and Security in me for sure and that’s exactly what we want to happen so as we’re coming up on a little
Bit of traffic here let’s see if we can check out some of those driver assistance features okay so this car is equipped with our driver assistance package that’s available as an option you can also get distance assist distronic now that’s a solo option and it does the gas and the breaking for you
Oh wow I’m guessing that you’re still giving it gas and break right now is that correct I do not need to do that so you do not need to do that when you do and you can go ahead and plus up your speed just hit the plus there you go and
Then the car will start moving forward for you there you go oh oh and it will help you come to a complete stop if needed wow this is this is this is amazing how do you feel are you nervous you know I was going to say
I am a little bit nervous but I trust the intelligence of the Mercedes we were just going 30 mph and now it’s like going through this eight Lanes of traffic right now and I feel completely less stressed and no anxiety where did you mention your soccer practice was H it is at the
