Hello all! I have been doing a boatload of research on the GLC 43 AMG SUV. I was trying to figure out if these specific features would be offered on the particular model,
Automatic Seat Belt Adjust (the seat belt tightens when you buckle it).
Massage seats
Dynamic seat bolsters that move in or out when you turn the vehicle to keep you centered in the seat.
I ask because my 2015 E350 4MATIC has all of these features and it's from 8 years ago.
Please reply to this thread if you have any information on these features!
Thanks

(Yes it is likely standard but it might also depend on the market)
Massage seats
(nope, E-Class and above)
Dynamic seat bolsters that move in or out when you turn the vehicle to keep you centered in the seat.
(no I think that is exclusive to E-Class and/or 63 models, unless it too is market dependent)

Automatic seat belt adjust is standard on all MB products as far as I know. That's a safety feature. But, no massage seats and no dynamic seat bolsters. While not a 63, It's still an AMG. If you get one with the AMG Performance Seats, then both the lower and upper side bolsters are adjustable. They are not dynamic, but you can inflate them to provide increased lateral support. These seats also provide much more lateral support in general. Dynamic seat bolsters is an option in an E, because the seats are sofas otherwise and provide little to no lateral support. An AMG comes with sport seats, which by definition have lateral support out of the box, and the AMG Performance Seats take it up a notch with even more aggressive side bolsters and as said the ability to manually inflate them.
Here's a render of the AMG Performance Seats. This is my C63S coupe interior, but they look the same in other AMG models. Not a popular option if you look for used cars as many perceive them as uncomfortable, which couldn't be further from the truth. Comes down to your personal fitness level, but they were a must-have in my C63S coupe and I've done 12 hour road trips in them. Some of the best seats ever. They are made by Recaro, and they know how to make seats. MBUSA has also stopped offering them in the sedans and SUVs at some point due to the low take rate in those models. They are still available in the coupes, though.

Beautiful seats! Any OEM offering made by Recaro is the business.
