Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity).

11.9-inch touchscreen display with Mercedes' MBUX interface.

But everything else from the lane keeping assistance to blind-spot warning performs as expected. We found the adaptive cruise control to be a little jerky at times, so if you have sensitive passengers on board, you may want to refrain from using it. The GLC's advanced driving aids provide excellent assistance in most scenarios. Although others have certainly caught up, Mercedes' voice recognition is still one of the most functional in the industry, and not only for the endless supply of 'dad jokes' it can throw at you on command. There's also a wireless charger tucked away in the center console, which is nice to have but a bit cumbersome to access, especially if you have drinks in the cupholders. Our test GLC had six USB-C ports on board, so everyone's devices can get some juice at the same time. It offers a generous layout of 15 apps per screen so you're not having to constantly swipe to access your favorite ones. If you prefer to leverage your smartphone's nav apps, Mercedes-Benz has one of the best wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations we've seen to date. The onboard navigation system, enhanced with augmented reality for confusion-free turn-by-turn directions, is also one of few that can rival popular smartphone apps. Our test GLC had the Burmester sound system, and we found that it produces an impressive auditory experience. How’s the tech? One of the areas that Mercedes-Benz continues to lead the field in is technology. We know that we wax a bit poetic here, but just a take drive and you'll see what we mean. The steering is easy but not effortless, and it affords a nice blend of letting you feel connected to the road without unnecessary heft. But even without the help of that extra tire grip, the GLC is a well-tuned machine that is able to maintain composure around turns with a natural athleticism. The optional summer tires that our test GLC came with definitely played an integral part in both the GLC's impressive braking and cornering grip. Bringing that speed to a halt are strong, confident brakes that are equally excellent performing at max effort as they are smooth and easy to use.

At Edmunds' test track, our GLC test vehicle accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, which is an average time for a small luxury SUV with a base engine. It provides impressively smooth acceleration, and the automatic transmission shifts quickly and responsively. How does the GLC-Class drive? We tested the GLC 300 that has a four-cylinder engine and a mild hybrid system.
