Safety Features of the GLC vs. BMW X3

Emergency call services, driver attention monitors, and pre-collision systems are standards on the Mercedes-Benz GLC and the BMW X3. Even though both SUVs can provide some peace of mind when navigating the streets of Bullhead City, the GLC includes additional thoughtful safety features like: 

• Rear seatbelt pretensioners- Front seatbelt pretensioners are included in both models, but the GLC also offers seatbelt pretensioners for the rear outboard seats. 
• Crosswind Assist- If you’re pushed by a sudden lateral burst of wind, this feature will help keep you on your intended path. 
• PRESAFE® Sound- By emitting a “pink noise” the PRESAFE® Sound system creates a reaction in the inner ear that protects your hearing from damage caused by the noises that come during a collision.
