Nimble to drive an SUV	Limited headroom in the rear due to a coupe-like body style	It gets some minor standard features and package revisions
Pleasant ride quality on any road conditions	Infotainment controls take some time to get used to
A generous list of safety features	Cargo space is not as generous as the regular GLC
Gutsy yet fuel-efficient turbocharged V6 engine
