GLC vs. BMW X3: Safety Features

If you compare the safety elements of the GLC and X3, you’ll find that they both have some cutting-edge safety features, like pre-collision systems and emergency call services that come standard. But the Mercedes-Benz GLC has some features that the BMW X3 doesn’t have, including:

• PRESAFE® Sound is another step in pre-collision. This Mercedes-Benz feature works to protect your hearing during a crash. It does this by making a “pink noise” that makes the inner ear react in a way that protects it.
• Rear seatbelt pre-tensioners are for the front seat belts, but only the Mercedes-Benz GLC has them for the rear seats on the sides.
• Crosswind Assist gives you peace of mind regarding strong gusts of wind. Even if the strongest gusts hit your vehicle from the side, this feature allows you to maintain control over your car.
