The 2021 GLC300 coupe now comes standard with a 360-degree camera system, rear cross-traffic alert, and a self-parking function. Automatic high-beams and passive hands-free entry were previously bundled into packages, but both are now offered as standalone options. Mercedes also adds Cirrus Silver to the list of available paint colors.
