Serving Franklin, TN

The Mercedes-Benz lineup offers several exciting possibilities for Nashville drivers who expect an elite driving experience from their next luxury crossover SUV. The compact GLC is a well-appointed, two-row model with solid engineering and advanced technologies. The GLE is an elegant, midsize crossover SUV that is available with both two-row and three-row options. These premium crossovers have several trim levels, including the entry-level GLC 300 and GLE 350. What should you know about these options?

Performance

The GLC 300 delivers the smooth ride and substantial power that you want from your new crossover SUV. Under its hood, a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbo engine generates 255 horsepower. This mild-hybrid powertrain is matched with an auto nine-speed transmission. You can choose between rear-wheel and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. The GLE 350 4MATIC® has the same powertrain and transmission and is exclusively offered with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive.

Appearance

The elegant GLC 300 has a modern edge with an upright stance and sleek sides that are contoured with a linear swell. The hood makes a confident descent toward the large grille while the tall roof trends into a raked rear. The starlight mesh pattern on the grille is accompanied by a segmented, horizontal bar. The headlights make a poignant statement with a sectioned LED accent light topped by another solid LED light. The GLE 350 4MATIC®, on the other hand, is a larger model with a crisp definition streaking down the sides and over the fenders. The grille is styled with confidence, and the chrome bars stand vertically. The lower fascia makes a powerful statement with large, triangular air inlets. The headlights have the upper LED definition that the GLC 300's headlights have. However, they are also accented by two LED bulbs and a second segmented LED bar at the bottom of the units.

Features

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is handsomely appointed with elite features like wireless smartphone app connectivity, synthetic leather seats, an 11.9-inch touch display screen, a wireless charging pad, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, an MBUX system, powered and heated front seats, USB-C ports, a driver attention warning, auto parking assistance, a blind-spot alert, and forward collision mitigation. The GLE 350 4MATIC® has many of these features and is also offered with a surround-view camera, a navigation system, a larger infotainment system screen, a power liftgate, and a sunroof.
