A passive hands-free entry as well as a self-parking function and rear cross-traffic alert are now included on every model. Automatic high-beam assist and a 360-degree camera system are now available separately on a GLC300 without being bundled as part of a package.
Pros Quiet and refined, gorgeous and spacious interior, more space inside than a C-Class.
