If you're looking for one of the most fun compact luxury crossovers money can buy, look no further than the Mercedes GLC43 AMG. It has a more premium feel and more aggressive looks than the X3 or SQ5 and driving dynamics targeted directly at the Porsche Macan. If 4.9 seconds to 60 isn't quick enough for you, then stay tuned because Mercedes is stuffing their 4.0L turbo V8 under the hood to create the GLC63 very soon.
0-30 : 1.6 Seconds
0-60 : 4.9 Seconds
1/4 Mile : Not tested
60-0 Braking : 108 Feet

I'm looking to buy this and you just uploaded the review!!! What a coincident. Thanks a lot Alex.

@PunxsutawneyDave 6 лет назад

It's cool to see Alex review a car so close to the one I have. The regular 300 was good enough, I didn't need AMG.

@Paul_Y_T 5 лет назад

Why do so many people think something only has merit if it is of interest/use to *them*? These coupe suvs are selling in large enough numbers to show there is a market for them. Not everyone needs the practicality of a traditional suv - and looks are subjective, with choice being a good thing.

@debw2635 6 лет назад

i wish you could do a review for the regular crossover glc 300, you have great reviews, and you mention that model alot when reviewing the other small suv

@myloz6013 3 года назад

Good review

@Van-Hammer 6 лет назад

That Mercedes logo in the grille is really large. Maybe that's why there is no spare tire - this is it.

@JeffreyCorriolanYT 4 года назад

Van Hammer LOL!!!!

Alex, the only thing that bugs me about this video is that your camera on the steering wheel is not sync'd with your talking. Small nitpick, but it is what it is. Still, amazing review, and amazing car!

He’s limited to whatever the auto makers lend him. CR actually buys and fully reviews the popular models of all vehicles.

@jondoe1310 6 лет назад

The regular version which I have is very rare to find! They mass produce the coupe. Where I live, I have never seen a GLC43 suv! I am the only one with it since I have had it for 5 months.

@GodZji 3 года назад

You left one button on the center console. Does that button for the air suspension?

@jeffarnholt1310 6 лет назад

Alex, I hope the Bear Fire isn't threatening your home and that you are safe. Sorry if this is the wrong channel for this message. Wishing you the best.

@happyisblue 6 лет назад

I like the regular, non-coupe AMG version. I think it looks better and is more usable.

@RobertLeBlancPhoto 6 лет назад

happy Agreed. This isn’t even a coupé, which has two doors. It’s actually a slightly lifted 5 door lift back.

Um...I don't know where you are getting those starting prices from becasue here in Indiana, the MSRP or whatever it's called for this car is $70,000????

Those are not true quad exhausts. they do have pipes behind that exhaust tip. I have the c63s and it still have fake exhaust tips.

these compact suv coupes are so cool and so dumb at the same time that is funny

@tbflyman 6 лет назад

it has 4 doors! how can they call it a coupe?

@edysinsimon8646 6 лет назад

I think of this version of the GLC 43 is that of the new sports "sedan" to the American market. I still prefer the GLC 43 in the standard SUV version.

@haiping0918 6 лет назад

love the way you just contiue talking, a lots info. thanks. tested today, the glc is very disppointed, sq5 is much better car.

Why aren't you comparing this to the BMW X4 M40i? The Audi SQ5 is not a fair comparison.

@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 6 лет назад

This looks just like the BMW X6 to me.

@sgbradley 6 лет назад

Beautiful CUV but Benz doesn't hold up for resale values like Lexus etc.....

@Jia1337 6 лет назад

So this or the BMW X3 / Audi SQ5 ??

@Cesar-jh8kd 6 лет назад

Jia L. I would honestly pick the 2018 bmw x3 over this. BMW improved the x3 a lot!

@Jia1337 6 лет назад

Thanks for the input.

@hedydd2 6 лет назад

Do left hand drive models suffer from the terrible tyre scrub when turning corners as do right hand drive cars? In the UK these models hop and skip in those conditions as if there was a frozen front differential. It is so bad that the tyre sidewalls squirm and traction is lost every few feet in a turn, resulting in jerks and sharp thumps that can be felt and heard. Mercedes claim that this is 'normal'. The only answer that have is to recommend fitting narrower 'winter' wheels and tyres, which is no answer at all and doesn't work. Type this into Google and follow a few links…..

Ok little child. The adults are talking now. Im sure unorefertthe punk little dials lmao

@robertdevoy3119 5 лет назад

Seems like meaningless horsepower/torque wars going on with this type of vehicle. While I greatly appreciate having ample power for safe merging and passing and quick moves in city traffic I don't see a great need for 0-60 times of under 6.5 seconds. The standard version of this crossover and the BMW X-3, and the Audi Q-5 among others have plenty of power to perform safely and confidently.

@sheridanbucket 6 лет назад

@swanblake 6 лет назад

So wait, I thought the 43s did not have a hand crafted motor?

@AAutoBuyersGuide 6 лет назад

You are right, I misspoke but RU-vid doesn't let us annotate or correct as they used to :-\ This is the *only* AMG engine that isn't, hence my confusion. For some reason I thought this one was but the 2.0L wasn't. My bad.

@swanblake 6 лет назад

Alex on Autos hey you have forgotten more auto knowledge then I will ever know Alex so you are more than allowed to have a slip of the tongue. I just wanted to confirm as I have always heard these are not "real" amg products because the engines are not hand built, which I agree with somewhat. That metal placque with a Germans name on it is pretty special

@RD0102 6 лет назад

AMG 43s do NOT have a hand crafted engine.

@gst69man 6 лет назад

all amg mercedes engines are hand crafted, just not by one assembler who signs the engine tag.

@RD0102 6 лет назад

Yes, but not the 43 line.

@swanblake 6 лет назад

Raman Deol that's what I thought. Alex said the 43 is hand built though. Confused now

@RD0102 6 лет назад

I have a 43 (M276 3.0 L V6 Bi-Turbo) and it isn't hand built. GREAT engine... not tuned to its full potential but still GREAT. Also, nothing close to proper in-house/hand built AMG engine.

@jondoe1310 6 лет назад

Raman Deol hand built or not hand built it’s still a Mercedes. I bought the GLC43 fully loaded for $84 out the door and I loved it. I could have waited for the v8 but it’s not worth it considering my suv hit 60mph in 4.1 seconds.

@phatrix111 6 лет назад

whats the point of suv if theres no Utility? small back seat like the CLA, none existant trunk. cmon

@Nestle245 6 лет назад

Exactly I never understood why they make vehicles like this

@GAATL_Viet 6 лет назад

Some customers want something that is taller and bigger than a performance sedan, but they don't want to give up on the performance o drive like a tank. So they manufacturers come out with performance SUVs like these which is taller, bigger and don't sacrifice the performance or the driving dynamic. These performance SUV definitely aren't meant to carry 5 full size adults in the car.

@haiping0918 6 лет назад

Tony Cao its perfect for retired couple.

@iamLODD 6 лет назад

I had a Range Rover which was very big and bulky so Im choosing this as my next suv

@MrHav1k 6 лет назад

People are buying them. I see them everywhere in my neck of the woods. It rides higher and still has the coupe like styling. Why do people buy coupes over sedans?? Same shit.

@SCHWARZENEGGERAAAA 4 года назад

@johnpalermo6869 6 лет назад

@marinoint 6 лет назад

According to CAR AND DRIVER, the "Rolling start" accelerations of the GLC43 coupe and non-coupe versions are virtually the same (5.4 vs 5.3). Yet you have to pay $4,150 more for the uglier coupe?! No thanks.

@jondoe1310 6 лет назад

Shin Ken nahhh! My regular GLC43 SUV hit 60mph in 4.1 to 4.2 seconds. Check out GLC43 0 t 60 under my channel name ayod orgu. It’s faster than Mercedes claimed

@rolande59 6 лет назад

Who the hell cares about $4,150 if you're buying an AMG mercedes? Get real ffs

@hbk92701 5 лет назад

It is pathetic how much MB lags behind on infotainment. The screens are so small and the software is garbage.

@Jaymac720 6 лет назад

I’ve never really understood coupe SUV’s. It destroys practicality which is the main focus of an SUV. If anyone can give me a legitimate reason to buy a coupe over a traditional crossover (besides styling) please share it

@SnowHarp 5 лет назад

Can someone explain why car reviewers make such a big deal over 0-60 acceleration times ? Who buys a car over another because of a one or two second difference in the acceleration ?

@Paul_Y_T 5 лет назад

SnowHarp people who actually like driving and performance. The target audience of AMG"s.

@SG-sz5vh 6 лет назад

Admittedly, i am not a huge cuv suv fan but at to this vehicle i can only say “why?” There are far more affordable, utilitarian suvs out there at a fraction of the cost

@InvestBetter. 6 лет назад

On paper, this is a great crossover, but when you look at it in person, it is missing something. It looks small and kind of femme. It's missing something, visually.

@1drummer172 6 лет назад

The BMW X3 M40I is also faster.

@sweetfreedomGB 6 лет назад

It's an ugly car but still nowhere near as ugly as the Land Rover Discovery

@ClaireYunFarronXIII 4 года назад

Subjective.

@bradyb9929 6 лет назад

I seriously don’t know why you would buy this impractical crossover

Mercedes reliability is shit.

@henrytheonewithgutsshiner 6 лет назад

I have SLK300 only 10K miles but it's driver side door handle getting loose. bad.

@MrHav1k 6 лет назад

You can't have it all. You can get all the styling, driving dynamics, safety, technology that you want, but you'll have to pay for it with pricing and reliability. You could get the Japanese alternatives, but they won't handle as well, be as comfortable to drive, have as much tech, or be as safe in a crash as the Germans. Your call. Pick what you want. If you lease these as most buyers do, then the reliability doesn't matter.

@Nestle245 6 лет назад

Crossover coupes are pointless.

@bradyb9929 6 лет назад

So. Ugly.

@haiping0918 6 лет назад

this glc 43 is a noisy piece of shit.

@tylerdwayne6365 11 месяцев назад

This page is so full of you no car knowing/bad opinion having mfks lmao. Like no actual car people agree with the mess yall on here saying. Just a bunch of VAGS
