Merc stands on the top of customer service. Driving pleasure is too good makes u feel important and provides luxury. Performance is good, sunblinds could be electric for the rearview passenger. GLC is a low-maintenance car. But yes, the rear passenger may feel a little cramped on long routes.

Great, but there's always room for improvement.

I was able to test ride it for a few KMs, performance is unmatched by anything I've driven before, and features and range are also good. There are some areas where there's room for improvement, There's a space in front of the shifter where you have to keep your phone if you want to use Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay, it's really awkward to access as it's built deep, the infotainment system has a room for a lot of improvement, it's laggy and slow to respond, and just should be better.
