Mercedes-Benz unveils GLC face-lift with MBUX

At the 89^th Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the latest edition of the GLC in the form of a facelift with additional features. This event which held last month served as a platform to reveal the latest Mercedes-Benz products and technology in the fast paced and technologically driven global automotive market. The 2019 GLC is an even more versatile SUV trendsetter which combines outstanding on and off-road driving characteristics with spaciousness, practicality and comfort.

The design of the 2019 GLC gives it a distinctive appearance from inside to outside. On the exterior the appearance is sportier overall, the chrome elements now run from the front to the rear end as standard. The distinctive lines, muscularly sculpted surfaces and distinctive details ensure a strong off-road character. The front end gives the impression of emotion, presence and dominance at the very first glance. While the interior is characterized with refined materials, precision workmanship and flowing shapes. The interior of the Base Line is finished in black. The center console features an elegant trim component, which is available in piano lacquer finish or the two new wood surface finishes – open-pore ash wood and walnut.

A major highlight in the 2019 GLC is definitely the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) which comes as standard. The new generation infotainment system from Mercedes-Benz focuses on users’ interaction with the vehicle and its functions through gestures, touch or the voice control system. This is made possible by MBUX’s intuitive logic and a wide range of operating options. Overall, the interplay of the touchscreen displays, the navigation with augmented reality, the intelligent voice control and the user interface sets real standards.

There are a total of five different possibilities to interact with the infotainment system of the GLC:

• Per Touch control on the multimedia display in the center
• Using the Touch Control buttons on the multifunction steering wheel
• With the multifunction touchpad on the center console
• Using gesture control with the interior assistant
• By voice control, either with the talk button on the steering wheel or the "Hey Mercedes” prompt

These are just a few major highlights of the Mercedes-Benz GLC “success model” which will be available for purchase globally during the market launch in mid-2019 with the GLC 200 4MATIC and GLC 300 4MATIC models.
