This vehicle scored 29.70 out of 36 points (Good). The GLC has an active bonnet fitted as standard. Good or adequate results were recorded over almost the entire bonnet surface, showing a high level of protection to the head of a struck pedestrian. The bumper also offered good or adequate protection to pedestrians' legs. Only the protection of the pelvis was mixed, with predominantly poor results. (Tested by Euro NCAP v8)
