2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC test results

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC secured 92% in the Adult Occupant Protection test, scoring 35.2 points out of a possible 38. In the Child Occupant Protection test, the GLC secured 90%, receiving 44.4 points out of a possible 49. In the Vulnerable Road Users test, the SUV secured 74%, scoring 40.4 points. Finally, in the Safety Assist Test, the offroader secured 84%, scoring 13.5 points out of a possible 16.

In the frontal offset test, the passenger compartment of Mercedes-Benz GLC remained stable, Euro NCAP observed. The femurs and knees of the driver and passenger test dummies after the crash indicated good protection. Critical body areas were preserved in the frontal offset and side barrier test. However, chest protection was rated weak in the pole test.

Adequate protection was provided to all critical body areas when the SUV was tested for frontal and side barrier collisions with child dummies. The tests showed that the safety systems work robustly in the SUV. The SUV scored the lowest rating in the Vulnerable Road Users tests, where the Euro NCAP noted that the bumper provided good protection to the pedestrian’s legs but protection of the pelvis was not up to the grade.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC comes with safety features such as a 4-wheel electronic traction system, crosswind assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Blind Spot Assist, Lane Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, a 360-camera, and much more.
