We here at Mercedes-Benz of Nashville have to hand it to our beloved German brand: it dished up a doozy of a compact crossover in the 2017 GLC 300.

Don't buy it? Think we're merely blowing smoke?

Then, check the clip below. Ride out with Autotrader reviewer Jabari Jones, as he reveals the five best reasons to buy the GLC 300:

Standard on all GLC 300 models is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Producing a punchy 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, the powertrain pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system can be had as an option.

We're also impressed by its ability to do the 0-to-60 mph dash; a rear-wheel-drive GLC 300, for instance, gets there in a scant 6.2 seconds.

If you'd like to meet this marvelous machine "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Franklin, TN location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the GLC 300, or any other Mercedes-Benz model that's garnered your intrigue.
