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.

Pros
Graceful driving behavior,
generous standard features,
fastback design is actually attractive.

Cons
Sloping roofline limits cargo space,
sloped-back also limits rear headroom,
GLC43 coupe is more desirable.
