Drivers in the market for a compact SUV who also enjoy the finer things in life now know they can find exactly what they’re looking for with the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Having replaced the outgoing Mercedes-Benz GLK model for the 2016 model year, the GLC immediately began to making a splash as a must-drive crossover, and the 2017 GLC 300 has proved no exception. In fact, the 2017 GLC 300 was named “Premium Utility Vehicle of 2017” by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. Read on to learn more about this award-winning vehicle, and contact the team at Mercedes-Benz Kitchener-Waterloo to set up a test drive.
Available in both SUV and SUV coupe iterations, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has been turning heads ever since its release. The GLC 300 boasts premium performance courtesy of a 2.0L inline-4 gasoline turbo engine that is able to produce 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Despite its impressive capabilities, it’s still enviably economical, with fuel consumption a combined 9.9 L / 100 km, which is enough to beat competitors like the Lexus RX350 F Sport Series 3, the Maserati Levante S, and the Cadillac XT5. Not only that, but with the 2017 GLC 300, you’ll enjoy confidence-inducing handling from the lightweight 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system, which intuitively sends power to the tires where it’s most needed. Top the whole package off with luxury appointments such as power adjustable front driver and passenger seats and power adjustable heated exterior mirrors, as well as advanced safety tech such as ATTENTION ASSIST (which monitors behind-the-wheel behaviors to detect a potentially drowsy driver), and it’s no surprise drivers all throughout Kitchener are flocking to the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300.
