Assistance systems
The latest generation of the Driving Assistance Package contains additional and enhanced functions compared with the previous series. These reduce driver workload in day-to-day situations, for more comfortable and safe driving. When a dangerous situation emerges, the assistance systems are able to respond to impending collisions as the situation demands. The operating principle of the systems is visually shown on the driver display through a new display concept.

Enhancement of assistance systems (examples)
▪ On all types of roads – highways, country roads or in town – Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC can automatically maintain a preset distance from vehicles in front. One new feature is the response to stationary vehicles on the road at speeds up to 60 mph (previously: 37 mph).

▪ Active Steering Assist helps the driver to stay in lane at speeds of up to 130 mph. New features include additional lane detection with the 360° camera, forming an emergency corridor especially at low speeds, significantly improved availability and performance in bends on country roads and improved lane centering on freeways.

▪ The Traffic Sign Assistant detects not only conventionally signposted speed limits, but also signs on overhead structures and in construction zones. Even conditional instructions (i.e. "slippery when wet") are recognized by evaluation of all on-board sensors. A new feature comes in the guise of the warnings against driving through stop signs and red lights (as part of the Driving Assistance Package).

▪ Intelligent parking systems support the driver when maneuvering. Thanks to improved surround sensors, the parking systems give the driver even better support when maneuvering at low speed. Operation is faster and more intuitive thanks to integration into MBUX. Emergency braking functions also serve to protect other road users.

Digitalization
▪ New generation of steering wheel with three spokes and redesigned control panels with Touch Controls for controlling navigation, telephone or entertainment, as well as the cruise control function or optional proximity control.

▪ Like the S-Class and the C-Class, the new GLC comes with the second generation of the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system. The interior has thus become even more digital and intelligent. The system is intuitive to operate and capable of learning, and it also offers functions such as Smart Home and music streaming. MBUX can be conveniently controlled with the adaptive voice assistant "Hey Mercedes."

▪ MBUX with, among other things, augmented reality (additional information such as house numbers are virtually superimposed on the video image of the surroundings on the central display, traffic lights are also shown) and a special Off-Road menu.

▪ Also new is the optional transparent hood, part of the 360° camera, which, when the Off-Road drive program is selected, shows the real view of the ground under the front end, combined with a virtual representation of the driving lane based on the current steering angle, on the central display.

▪ Large screens as standard (12.3-inch driver display, 11.9-inch central display). Superb images on the LCD screens make it easy to control vehicle and comfort functions.

▪ Digital Light with projection functions and customizable Coming Home / Leaving Home animation.

Efficient technology
The 4-cylinder M254 engine with 1,999 cc displacement, outputs of up to 255 hp or 295 lb-ft of torque and all the innovations of the modular engine family. They include NANOSLIDE cylinder coating, CONICSHAPE cylinder honing (trumpet honing) and the exhaust after treatment system positioned directly on the engine.

The M254 engine is electrified with a 2nd-generation starter-alternator integrated into the transmission with an output of 23 hp and 147 lb-ft of torque in conjunction with a 48-volt on-board electrical system.
