Mercedes-Benz GLC-CLASS 2016
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: There's little doubt Mercedes has improved the Coupe/SUV formula here.

Best towing equipment for a GLC?
Start by asking your Mercedes-Benz dealer for their assistance. Explain to them that you want to tow a caravan and that the factory towbar is not suitable. If they cannot help seek the help of towbar companies, such as Hayman-Reece. If might be a case of modifying an existing towbar to suit.

Best prestige SUV coupe?
From the research, my pick is definitely the Benz. It's a development of the classy GLC wagon but with improvements including better suspension. The Benz costs a little more but there is stock in showrooms now so you should jump quickly if you want one.
