2021 GLC

Just leased a new 2021 GLC300. Cardinal Red, grey MB-Tex interior. Exterior lighting pkg, multimedia, premium pkg, logo projectors, illuminated star, surround view camera, dash cam, panorama roof, digital instrument panel, spare tire/wheel, heat/noise reducing glass, chrome trim on front bumper vents. Credit on sticker for dash cam, MBUX augmented reality, and Hermes chip not present now. Previous lease was 2019 GLE400, before that 2016 GLC300.



My favorite thing is the digital instrument cluster. Least favorite -- swiping the touch pad to change radio stations (I miss the controller wheel). Kind of disappointed it doesn't have the lane tracking warning (vibrating the steering wheel), but that's been replaced by the costlier active lane keeping assist, which I didn't want or get.

I think the GLC laminated glass is just the front door windows. I notice a lot more engine noise with the window down, but it's hard to know how much this reduces it compared to regular glass.

Acoustic glass substantially reduces wind noise on GLC.
