This is 4L increase from 2020 ex-show of 53.3L and only 4.4L less than X3 luxuryline where you get more powerful 252bhp engine, AWD, leather seats, harmon kardon for the extra price. With the cheaper Sport variant of X3 due in Feb, GLC will have a formidable competitor.

Very surprised to see massage seats being added to the GLC. This kind of a feature is more fitting for the E-class.
I presume the massage function is for the rear seats but my hunch is that it is for the front seats in this case as the rear is a bench.

@ CosmicWizard- Please shed more light on the cheaper X3 in the works

[CosmicWizard]

All I know is that an X3 30i Sport variant is going to be launched in Feb that is expected to be several L cheaper than the current luxury line variant. This much is confirmed. Exact specs and pricing is not yet known. With that, GLC 2021 petrol will be almost the same price as X3, unlike 2020 model that was good 7. 5L cheaper than X3 petrol.

Correct, it's on the front. Not like what we get on S or other higher models though.

Not sure if they have added seat ventilation, I will prefer that over massage given our wether,

If anything, Mercedes has been consistent in shocking and deliberate omission of features. For a company that seems to be doing everything right, I have not figured out their logic behind such omissions. I doubt they will include ventilated seats.
