I don't think that is correct. When I ordered the optional 14-way passenger seats, it said on the Mercedes build website that it comes with memory seats. If you go there now and add them it still says that. It also will show a picture of 3 memory settings.

Congrats! Looks good especially the interior!

Is it possible to take a picture of the EPA window sticker too please? Thanks!

Absolutely sweet!!!! Very nice! And, you did not get the memory settings for the front passenger seat, and the power controls are in the door! That is a bit of a surprise! Congratulations! Drive her in good health!

Edit: Need more clarification here, but some GLC's seem to have memory on the door and some just have the adjustment on the door (passenger seat). Different markets maybe?

I apologize for the terrible quality pictures here, but my wife's iPhone 6 was dead and I'm stilling using an old S3. Cold and rainy here in Columbus too.

Not my vehicle, we just stopped in to test drive the first GLC300 4Matic to show up at our local dealer. Interesting vehicle I suppose, but I was underwhelmed by the 4cyl. engine and disappointed with the road/wind noise. We're gonna sleep on it and decide what to do next with our order. :report:

Thank you so much!

Nope, they're the standard 18" Pirelli tires. They look really nice on the GLC.

Nope. That's not the 14 memory front seats. It's the standard front seat though and is plenty adjustable for me. The only adjustments missing are the front bolster extender and the headrest is manual. Otherwise, I'm really pleased to say it's pretty much the same adjustments available on the drivers seat.

To get the memory seat for the passenger on the door, you have to pay extra for it and it's $430.

Wow, that's great news. If you check the online configurator it doesn't show any door adjustment unless you opt for the memory option $430. The one I drove today must have been the same way then, plenty of adjustment IMO too. I love the look of the new door seat adjustments, esp. when paired with the beautiful burmester speaker covers.



Well, I'm a bit spoiled with the very smooth V6 in our GLK and IS350 I suppose. The new engine felt better matched to the lighter C300 I drove last month. There's plenty of power for a daily driving tasks, but it seemed awfully noisy to me. Transmission was pretty smooth, but this particular GLC had a very abrupt shift into 4th gear (sport+ mode). Auto start-stop worked well, adequate power in all modes other than Eco, which btw is terrible compared to those offered by other brands. You need almost 70% throttle just to maintain highway speeds and from a stand-still is borderline dangerous IMO. Comfort mode is perfect though.

I'm pretty sure I could write a full page review on my initial reactions, but I dont want to bore anyone! We're gonna go back next week for a second opinion too. Our local dealer has been fantastic thus far and I've been really impressed with the level of customer service we have received from the MB staff :y

I'm not so sure about that. I think it may be the way US destined GLC's are being built. The one at the car show last weekend, had a dash exactly as ours. But then I could certainly be wrong. On the MBUSA build a GLC, the dash has the dual binnacle's regardless of how it is optioned. Our car certainly doesn't have the two, nor did any of the ones being delivered by our dealer today. We saw 5 with exactly the same dash as ours. But I don't remember if any of them had the stitched dash or not.

First, congrats on your car, it looks great.

Hopefully I'll be able to settle the question on the dual binnacle when I receive mine as I've ordered with the stitched dash - the bad news is that I didn't hear from my dealer yet and will be traveling this week so the earliest I could get the car is next weekend.
