Business Life Geelong February 2016

The all new GLC. Make the best of every ground.

It’s not often an SUV comes along with the best of everything. Mercedes-Benz first ever Australian mid-sized SUV has it all while compromising nothing. Every model features a powerful turbo charged engine, lavish interior and 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive, that is equal parts sporty, stylish, confident and clever. Exceptionally comfortable and surprisingly efficient, the GLC is a big step forward for SUVs. Experience one today and see for yourself why the GLC is the next big thing.

“My Brax awning has completely changed the way my family and I spend time outdoors” - Julia Green “We all love an Aussie summer, but that sun can be a scorcher. My Brax awning has completely changed the way my family and I spend time outdoors as it offers respite whilst still looking über stylish! That’s a win win in my book - entertaining and enjoying lunch under the awning is a complete treat for all of us thanks to our local friends at Brax!”
