Essential Options for 2020/2021 Models

My first post. Pls be nice .

I'm coming from the "other" side so I am ignorant about MB's. I am actively shopping for a 2020/2021 GLC. I found the following options that are either essentials or cool. Is there anything in the list that should be added or that I grossly missed?
.
  • 413 - Automatic panoramic sliding sunroof
  • 501 - 360° camera
  • 690 - Emergency wheel (mini spare)
  • 871 - Sensor system for trunk lid opening/closing (or P17)
  • 889 - KEYLESS-GO (or P17)
  • 897 - Front wireless telephone charging
  • P17 - Keyless GO Package (889 + 871)
  • P47 - Parking Package High (or P44)
  • P44 - Parking Package (or P47)
Any general impression on reliability on the 2020/2021 models?

TIA

2020 GLC300 touring version (but I miss my '93 300SE W140 tank)
Welcome to our forum. I have owned a 2020 and 2021 MY GLC300 RWD. My build sheet lists dozens of options but I figured out my local dealer carries two types of GLC: an urban model and a traveler’s model. The urban model is outfitted much like your list above, and the traverler’s model excludes parking and KEYLESS GO and adds Driver Assist options adding up to Stage 2 autonomous driving. There is also an off-road version adding suspension levelling. An urban driver would rarely use Driver Assist features. None of what I just wrote is official or written down anywhere else.
So my first response is: Do you intend to use the vehicle mostly urbanly or mostly traveling? Either way the GLC is a great car and meets or exceeds my expectations for a Mercedes-Benz small SUV.

Interestingly, none of the used vehicles sold in my area within 500 miles are the travelers model. Looks like I will settle for the urban model. Driver Assist option would have been a great feature.

Sorry. I had to wait a year until one became available in my area.
