The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4Matic Is Brings S-Class Luxury & Tech To The C-Class SUV 

The price increase from the last GLC is crazy. $59k for non-amg line, MB-Tex, no heated rear seats, HUD, and cheap looking reflector headlights. A few years ago, you could get a GLE for the same price

I’ve owned 2 new GLC 300 SUV fully equipped. Never had any mechanical or reliability issues, will get another new on in 2026.

Test drove one yesterday. Ride and handling is great but lack of ANY buttons and switches is really frustrating while driving and to me is actually a deal breaker.

I love your reviews the 0 too 60s are always funny too me

Love the ambient lighting.

I drove a new GLC 300 for a couple days last week while my C300 was in the shop for a recall. The loaner was in the Pinnacle mid-level trim, but with a couple options. The interior was almost exactly the same as my C-Class, and it looks amazing. If I have any criticism for the exterior, I'd say it's a little bland. But then again so is the C-Class, at least compared to the previous generation, which I thought was a sharper and sportier looking sedan. I think Mercedes just doesn't take chances with its best selling models. The ride in the GLC 300 was decent, not truck-like at all, and there was a bit less body roll than I was expecting, even with the standard suspension. The step-in height was higher than I expected. People with short legs will need to consider how comfortable they are climbing up into (and down out of) this small SUV. I did a mix of city and highway driving in the two days I had the new GLC (more highway than city) and taking it fairly easy, I got 29 mpg, which I think is fair enough for this type and size vehicle. The mild hybrid system and its integration in the start/stop feature is terrific. It helps that the car's cabin is quiet in the first place, but you cannot tell when the engine turns off and turns back on again. It is seamless, or as close to seamless as you can get in an ICE car now. Also, if you have the car in Eco mode, you can take your foot off the accelerator pedal and literally coast down hills, increasing your fuel economy. The engine will turn on again when you press the gas pedal, if you get close to the car in front of you, or you are a steeper angle up or down. And again, when the engine turns on after coasting it's seamless. The mild hybrid system is supposed to ease turbo lag, and it works okay. But there's still some turbo lag when you really punch it. Overall, I think the GLC 300 and C300 are great vehicles. Probably not the best value in their classes, but still pretty good. It helps that I got a terrific deal on mine!

I love your reviews the 0 too 60s are always funny too me but u drive like I do😂

Nice review!

This is an excellent and very thorough review.

First! Nice review! Beautiful vehicle.

I ordered one with the Pinnacle package which gives you the digital headlights, headsup display and AR navigation. Added a dashcam, panorama roof, ventilated seats and it was under $60k

Can’t wait to see the 2024 GLC AMG63S

Another stellar review my brother. The best in the industry

Now my perfect new Mercedes SUV to buy.

I love how GLC's look but hate capacitive buttons with a passion. Shame

It’s nice to see that Mercedes has added rear DRL’s like BMW does. Small details like this makes vehicles look more premium.

Clearly been refreshed post-covid. You can see the cost cutting everywhere.

The Mazda Cx-70 might compete nicely in this segment, but my heart belongs to the Genesis GV70 🔥

Why would the “Heat and Noise Insulating Glass” be made available only for the top of the line trim, the pinnacle? That is supposed to be a standard feature of a benz!

Old GLC has super narrow driver footwell (from transmission being so wide at the front), it is so bad that the brake pedal is pushed to left of the seat centerline resulting in a quite twisted posture as most people use right food to brake. Is it still the case in the new GLC?

I’m disappointed with a lot of manufacturers today, but Mercedes has the biggest disappointment for the price point. Considering the poor quality materials, terrible reliability issues, and mass recalls, it’s hard to even remotely consider one. The GLC is especially disappointing. Great review as always, though, Sofyan!

hate the tersla center screen. bye merc, was nice knowing you.

Interior works for that model. Good enough for me . But will go for the next bigger gle version.

The tail lights are visibly different….. the changes weren’t that muted to me

I'm surprised you haven't reviewed the new C43 or the new C63 S E-Performance yet. I think you should, since most journalists have already. I hope Mercedes gives you both to try out, since you've already reviewed the current C300. Most people have meh responses to both cars because of the hybridized 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder, but when you get one, I'll be curious to see what you think of it. But yeah said to see AMG only using 4 cylinder hybrid tech now for their performance cars. The S63 is the only one that'll keep the 4.0L V8 but again it's hybrid as well.

It’s still a great choice along w the x3 and gv70 and RDX. Even a cx5 turbo is a strong contender too. I’d probably go x3 or gv70 or cx5 turbo

I’ve heard the new seats MB’s using are rough and start to flake quickly 😬

strong fx35 vibes

You mentioned other brands have better seat cooling. In your experience, which brands work the best? I tend to run pretty warm and our Acura RDX seats ain't cutting the mustard...

How is the ride and handling when you compare it to bmw x3?

Man glc and cl class new models worth money paying for going to buy one

Please use a gimbal while shooting in hand-held mode. For instance showing under the hood at 2 minutes. The footage is so shakey and jittery.

The GLC was always good looking, this new generation looks even better. Such a shame the GLC43 AMG will be a four banger

I have a 2021 gla 250 and want a GLC so bad I think it might be Time to go trade it in 😅

Way too much emphasis made about speed these days for sure..

Everytime i see a Mercedes Benz the first word that comes to mind if efficient. It seems to do everything just so efficiently and crispy. Unfortunately reliability with European vehicles aren’t that great. I see them mostly as lease vehicles. Get them for a few years and then move on. Maintenance and repairs are very expensive. As much as i like em, I’ll stick to japanese and American

❤ BEAUTIFUL SUV CRAZY I SAID I'M GONNA GET ME A MERCEDES BENZ SMALL SUV RED IN COLOR AND THIS POPPED UP IN MY RECOMMENDATION AND THE SUV DROVE PASS MY HOUSE GOD IS GOOD WOW!!! 🚙❗

Hi! Why previous version with less torge but 2023 got more torge but it gives only the same 0 to 60 is 6.1 s?, could you help me to say how fast audi q7 quartro 55 start if torge vs. With this? ( Because some one said it's easy to pass someone than audi q7 quartro 55 ( 335 hp)? Thank you!

16:54 can't unsee the scary face

The AMG Line package does not “make the grille much larger or black out the wheel arches.” Why does Sofyan make such random unsubstantiated and incorrect statements?

I try to buy new 23' Mercedes-Benz GLC300.

Mercedes needs to work on their reliability and option packaging. Love the red with the black interior.

With so many new cars appearing to have practically no character in the dash,...this is a bit refreshing. I like the metal...wood....design. The exterior is fine as well. As for the engine, I would prefer a full hybrid version...that they won't have. But it would be far more desired...especially these days.

My wife is waiting for the amg version of this

Will there be an AMG trim for this soon?

Could the lower sales be because of 4 cylinder only engine offering?

Someone is not picking up the calls 🤭🤭

Last Gen Pearl white Altima SR In back ground😛

Am I crazy or during the intro you can hear car alarms going off in the distance?

😍😍😍😍

I really love this car

Its so sad what is happening I mean 4 cylinder does NOT belong in high end luxury cars. I remember when the c300 had a NA v6 with only 228 horsepower but it was so solid and sounded great.

I would only ever lease a German vehicle. Enjoy it for 3yrs and give it back. Their value drops like a rock once out of warranty.

9:52 that area below the IP looks bad. Looks unfinished

Dumb question. The GLC SUVs no longer come with Turbo Diesel?

Really weird looking how the screens are not integrated into the dashboard. They're all trying to copy Tesla. It looks "modern" but not luxurious. The screens feel like they were mounted after they had finished designing the interior, not designed with them in mind.

*2024 model

MASERATI GRECALE PLEASE

actually Mercedes has the auto-lock option

can’t they make the engine sound less buzzy

I drove this vehicle, and this vehicle to me feels like you’re driving a 40K vehicle at best. Much inferior interior to the GV70 and worse ride quality, also much more cramped on the inside, at least that’s how the interior design makes it feel like.

The Mercedes me app has been phased out, unfortunately. I owned my GLC 250D no issues no recalls, not sure why people who dont own this vehicle assume such as much. There lost!

Cute little SUV! Just a little pricey.

Front looks like a Buick, and reflector LEDs on a Mercedes 😂 a Corolla would blush

The modern day C class wagon. Biggest problem: way overpriced. Second biggest: not roomy inside.

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever, hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life. THANK YOU SCARLETT!

The GLC was actually based on the E Class chassis and components not the C Class

2023? Car manufacturers are shipping 2024 models.

Does not look premium at all.

The GLC is very competent and nice but just a bit....bland and ovoid on the exterior. I like the exterior looks of the BMW X3, Lexus NX, Acura RDX or even the Volvo XC60 more than the GLC 300. I'm sure however that M-B will sell a lot of these.

I like this but considering it’s a Mercedes I would Get anything less than an in-line 6. A four banger I’d rather have a Lexus

Why not just buy a fully loaded Mazda CX50. It’s best looking in class and comes with AWD and 1l cheaper than the base of the Benz without AWD

❤

6:04 woah, am I seeing things or am I seeing a USDM spec Mercedes with amber rear indicator lights?! It's a miracle! Very glad Mercedes came their senses and fired the person who was deciding to give USDM spec cars inferior taillights.

If it has a tailpipe, it’s junk.

I like mercedes but will stick with lexus due to reliability

People if you want real durable luxury, go Japanese.

Without the amg package, looks very feminine

The grill looks very cheap and the headlights too. The front is too soft.

DAMN 1980 chrome.... wth

All this money and they give you fake exhaust. Screw that shit

Really disappointing interior... the fake leather takes it over the edge... this is a Mercedes ffs

Too Much FAKE STUFF for me, to be a Mercedes . . What's going on ??

Mr Sofyan Bey it's time to start comparing those German and Japanese luxury brands to the American brands smh also it's time to start comparing those mainstream Japanese brands to the American brands too y'all enthusiasts be soo biased like y'all are on their payrolls

Looks like a baby GLS

Exeptional silent drive!!!

Mercedes, when you want less features and worse build quality than a Kia.

The tail lights look uglier than the 2022 model

I truly think all the new Mercedes products look awful except for the GLS and SL

Fake exhausts...AGAIN!!!??? Why do Mercedes destroy an otherwise nice looking car? What is their problem?!😡

Get a rx350.. cheaper price and bigger

Interior is unacceptable. Exterior looks great. They completely torpedoed the CLE when they ripped off this POS interior.

You talk too fast. Calm down ffs.

Merc has fallen from grace and just cutting corners

Benz has really gone downhill man. EQ lineup is doing very poorly, AMG ditching all v8 s, and all of their models are having major problems/ quality issues

I hate this car it’s not reliable car And i happy that I changed already for BMW X5

What's the point of a 48v mild system and turbo on a 4cyln when a toyota camry makes the same power lmfao. Mercedes is a joke and unreliable too.

First
