A nine-speed automatic transmission helps the GLC glide through the gears as you navigate Birmingham’s city streets or Alabama’s highways and interstates.

Premium materials, contoured seating, and elegant wood and metal accents create a refined cabin atmosphere. A range of interior color options allows for personal customization, while the spacious cargo area offers up to 56.3 cubic feet of storage with the rear seats folded flat, ensuring ample room for your gear.
Advanced technology in the GLC enhances every journey. The centrally located 11.9-inch touch screen seamlessly connects with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, offering wireless compatibility. The 64-color ambient lighting system lets you set the mood for any drive, adding a touch of luxury.
Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV sets a high standard with cutting-edge technology and an exquisitely crafted interior. Its driver-centric cabin includes standard Mercedes-Benz navigation, wireless connectivity, and wireless charging for ultimate convenience. The MBUX infotainment system, powered by artificial intelligence, responds to voice commands with “Hey, Mercedes,” handling tasks such as adjusting the temperature or selecting your favorite music. Over time, the system learns your preferences for a more personalized experience.
Safety is paramount in the GLE, with advanced features such as pedestrian and cyclist detection systems that provide timely alerts and assist in avoiding potential accidents. Additional driver-assistance technologies can help you stop, change lanes, and drive more efficiently, giving you confidence on the roads around Birmingham.
Power for the GLE-Class comes from three engine options: the sporty 255-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder in the GLE 350, the precise 375-horsepower turbocharged I-6 in the GLE 450, or the formidable 510-horsepower biturbo V-8 in the GLE 580.
Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class
The Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV combines spaciousness with rugged capability, making it an excellent choice for families. Its three rows of seating and advanced technology features keep everyone comfortable and connected. Plush MANUFAKTUR upholstery options enhance the luxury of long drives, while the expansive sunroof fills the cabin with natural light. Heated and ventilated front seats maintain ideal temperatures year-round, and available massaging front seats offer unmatched relaxation.
Two powerful engine options let you tailor the GLS to your driving preferences. The 450 turbocharged I-6 engine produces 375 horsepower, while the 580 biturbo V-8 delivers a commanding 510 horsepower. Both are paired with the 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, complete with paddle shifters for precise control.
Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class blends style and functionality with a design that turns heads from every angle. A bold front grille featuring the iconic Mercedes-Benz star, aluminum roof rails, and an available body-color roof spoiler emphasize its versatility. Sleek lines enhance the GLA’s aerodynamics, while a fully independent suspension system ensures responsive handling for an engaging driving experience.
Powering the GLA-Class is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that generates 221 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A mild hybrid assist boosts performance while improving efficiency. The dual-clutch eight-speed transmission provides seamless shifts, with manual and on-demand shifting options for added driver control. The GLA’s off-road driving mode further enhances its capability, allowing you to tackle rugged terrain with confidence.
