The Mercedes-Benz GLC 2023 is guaranteed 92% in Adult Passenger Protection and 90% in Child Passenger Protection. It went on to score 74% on Vulnerable Passersby protection and 84% on Safety Assist. Euro NCAP observed that the passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal deflection test and the reader readings showed that the driver and passenger’s knees and femurs were well protected. Mercedes-Benz also demonstrated that safety levels will be similar for occupants of different sizes and in different positions inside the vehicle. Furthermore, all important body areas of the passenger dummy are well protected.

The new GLC also showed good protection for all key body areas in the driver and rear passenger full-width rigid barrier test. The side barrier test repeats the same results with the SUV scoring the maximum here. However, chest protection was judged to be weak in the column test, while cruise control, the extent to which the body was thrown to the other side, was deemed adequate. The new generation GLC gets a countermeasure to minimize collision injuries between occupants. The SUV also performs well for collision injuries, while the model also comes with a ‘Post-Collision Braking’ system that applies the brakes to prevent secondary collisions.

The SUV also automatically disables the front passenger airbag with the rear-facing child restraint system positioned in the seat and operating “vigorously”.

The previous generation GLC was in a predicament this year with the untimely death of Shapoorji Pallonji scion Cyrus Mistry, who was being manipulated in one of such examples. The older model also received a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP in 2015 and has a pretty impressive score of 95% in Adult Protection and 89% in Child Passenger Protection.
