THE 2018 GLC
You had asked for a pony. You really, really
wanted a pony. Brown, with a white mane
and tan saddle. They got you a bicycle. Red,
with 10 speeds and — just to show you they
were listening — a tan saddle. Still, it wasn’t
a pony. Once again, you sighed, your par-
ents had chosen the sensible route. Or so
you thought. It turned out — like when they
said no to ice cream for breakfast but let
you have waffles — that they actually knew
how to make good choices that were also
fun. When you think back to the best times
of your childhood — exploring, racing and
just riding with your friends — that bike was
always in the picture, year after year. Long
after you’d stopped thinking about a pony,
and started dreaming of red sports cars.
What the lean muscle of its
body promises, the GLC’s
athletic heart delivers.
The shining Star you can
see in its grille is the soul
you’ll feel with every drive.
Driving desire.
Today, you got up with the Saturday morning
sun, eager to tackle your weekend to-do
list. You’ve got the windows and sunroof
wi de open in your ne w GLC. Ap pr oaching a
familiar curve, it makes you recall the way
you’d lean your bike into it all those years
ago. You could feel the forces of nature
playing in harmony: sunshine and breezes,
g-forces and motion. In your head, you’d
add the one missing element you craved
most of all: the growling revs of an engine.
Glancing in the mirror, a responsible adult
smiles back — with that euphoric grin you
perfected early in life. Not for a second do
you think “Whatever happened to that fun
kid? ” What you see is who you’ve always
been. It’s why, when you went shopping
for a car, you could see yourself in a GLC.
Sure, you found its spaciousness, solid-
ity and safety features compelling — even
comforting. Your parents would approve.
Right now, you’re not thinking about any
of that. The growling revs — they’re real,
now — may just be sere nading a trip to the
home improvement store today. But you
aren’t thinking about the to - do list in your
pocket, either. You’re picturing the wish
list you keep in your heart. The one that
once said “brown pony.” Then “red sports
car.” Walking toward the store, you glance
back at your GLC. And, with your finger in
the air in front of you, draw a checkmark.

ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP
You weren’t in a rush this morning. There’s
no meeting on your calendar, no projects
overdue. You even managed to leave home
a few minutes early. There’s only one puff y
cloud in the sky, and you’ve got the climate
control dialed to 72°, a good station tuned
in, and the drive mode set to ECO. By every
measure, today’s commute should be the
prover bial walk in the par k. So how, all of a
sudden, did it be come a combination of an
obstacle course, decathlon, and pop quiz in
calculus? That cloud sure packed a punch.
Education, exercise and experience.
There’s no lone element keeping your GLC
on top of the sudden squall and its rapidly
changing results — from slippery roads to
swerving drivers. To call it teamwork does
not even do justice to the quick analysis,
clever response and agile footwork that’s
occurring in unison, and in real time. As
you find your way through it all, there’s no
denying it feels intense. But you don’t feel
tense. Your GLC has got this. The inherent
talents of its family, the skills imparted by
its engineers, and the years of training in
every corner of the globe have prepared it
to handle this not just expertly. Elegantly.
CONTROL responds instantly to the road.
And 4matic® all-wheel drive* watches for
wheelspin at each of the four tires, all the
time.3 The net result of all this? An orches-
tra of benefits, all optimized under a wide
range of conditions: power with efficiency,
cornering with comfort, security with fun.
Balancing brawn and brainpower is nothing
new to the engineers whose résumé lists
inventing the car, all - wheel drive, 4- wheel
independent suspension, stability control,
and 100,000 other patents. Then again, for
over a century, it’s been nothing but new —
driving change, and changing driving. To
continually reset the pace of progress, it’s
not enough just to think up a brilliant new
idea. You have to be able to run with it.
Every GLC is cross-trained to exercise its power with quick­thinking precision — so it doesn’t just inspire your confidence. It ignites your passion.
From the air it breathes in, to the transfer
of torque to pavement, your GLC’s engine,
drivetrain, chassis and electronic support
systems act as a team of teams. Single or
dual turbos spin up to 150,000 rpm, while
Direct Injection and multispark ignition act
with molecular precision and millisecond
speed. Through sharp corners, a selective
damping sus pe nsion or adaptive AIR BODY

ACCELERATING HISTORY
“This,” you whisper to yourself, “is the per-
fect getaway.” You’ve been waiting for this
three-day weekend for months, and this is
exactly how you planned to spend it: by not
planning anything beyond the words “road
trip” and some very light packing before
heading out. As the towns get smaller and
the gaps between them grow larger, you
begin to notice that the march of progress
has tread gently upon these parts. There’s
WiFi and nice places to stay, of course, but
there’s a sense of histor y that you can see
and feel whenever you stop to look around,
as if modern life has snuck in very quietly.
Firsts that last.
You get back into your GLC for the next leg
of your journey, and as you close the door,
you can’t help but notice the parallels. It’s
not just the WiFi for your passengers.2 It ’s
as if every option* you checked off is now
checking in to remind you that its appeal
is both timeless and timely. Supple leath-
ers are stitched to the steering wheel
and fitted to each seat by hand. Genuine
wood — offered in a range of colors, grains
and sheens — is also finished by hand. And
satin aluminum accents and switches turn
every touch point into a mutual caress.
But the sleek metal trim isn’t where the
modernity snuck in. Constant innovation,
in luxury options as much as safety stan-
dards, has been a Mercedes-Benz tradition
for ages. Your GLC’s venti lated seats, LED
ambient lighting — now with driver-select-
able colors — and its cabin-air ionizer and
fragrance system all debuted under the
Star. So did many of the eco- and allergy-
friendly materials under its rich surfaces.
Together they help make your GLC a great
way to travel. And a nice place to stay.
By definition, a Mercedes-Benz is created to advance every standard. And crafted to uphold a legacy.
