5 reasons to buy the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC300

1. New features for 2019 

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has undergone a few changes for this model year. For a start, a few features became standard, including heated front seats and a household power outlet. Additionally, some things became available options – including tri-zone climate control and the Off-Road Engineering package (which increases ground clearance by 20mm and adds underbody protection) – so keep an eye out for those when shopping if they’re valuable additions for you. 

2. Comfortable 

In typical Mercedes-Benz fashion, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 prioritizes comfort. The seats are firm and optimized for long-distance comfort, keeping passengers in place nicely when cornering. Additionally, the ride experience is smooth and controlled, making long or regular rides a breeze. 

3. Attractive interior 

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is nothing short of opulent inside. It’s plush and comfortable, as well as sleek and stylish throughout. There's great attention to detail thanks to the use of wood and carbon fiber details to make the interior feel pleasingly upscale. As standard, the upholstery is synthetic leather, with real leather around the steering wheel for an exceptionally sophisticated feel. 

4. Suitable for tall passengers 

Even in the luxury compact SUV class, the back seats often get overlooked when it comes to how much space they offer. But the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 delivers here. The back seats have 38.5 inches of headroom and 37.3 inches of legroom, which means you don’t have to compromise when it comes to passenger volume. 

5. Balanced performance 

Finding a luxury SUV with good fuel economy is a nice surprise, and the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is no exception. The standard 2.0L four-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated 24 combined mpg, which is handy if you regularly clock up the miles.

When you’re luxuriating in the comfort of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, it's good to know you can go further between fill-ups.
