"Is there a market for performance EVs?" I think that's a fair question to ask. I think the answer is yes. Not a huge one, but it's there. Plenty of UK reviewers have questioned the point of having something this quick. I get it; for the vast majority of UK drivers, opportunities to _use_ the power are few and far between. Most UK reviewers have suggested that they'd opt for the Long Range AWD instead, as it's still bloody quick while being more comfortable, more efficient, and £10k less expensive. Now, obviously, you'll always get the speed nuts who want the fastest thing they can afford. Personally, I can attest that planting my right foot going from a 20 to a 60 is more grin-inducing in the Performance compared to the AWD, but I probably wouldn't have paid £10k for that. And yet, I have one on the way, because it's not _just_ faster. Before the facelift, the Performance had the same chassis setup, and the same seats, as the other specs. And that was a problem. You got the straight line speed, and the responsive steering, and it was good fun to thread down a twisty country road. But the suspension held it back, as it never settled down, especially on crappier surfaces. And the seats offered little lateral support, which made it uncomfortable to use its copious grip around a bend. I personally found that the chassis and suspension improvements in the facelifted Performance completely transform it on those twisty roads. The dampers do an excellent job of keeping the car in contact with crappy surfaces without feeling underdamped and unsettled. It feels far more confident and composed during fast cornering. And now the seats give enough lateral support such that it's not uncomfortable to use some of that grip. To me, it was fantastic engaging fun to drive on country roads, even without doing stupid speeds or using all the power. Especially with Tesla's throttle mapping. Petrolheads bemoan the lack of noise, but the throttle is linear and ridiculously responsive, and I find it very engaging to feel that level of control over the power output. Then you get to town, and it's calm, relaxing, low-effort, and it isn't obnoxiously shouting to the world that it's a performance car. Or you get on the motorway and, while it's not as good as the Long Range, it's still very quiet, comfortable, has plenty of range, and access to the Supercharger network. Then you get home, plug it in, charge on a cheap overnight tariff, and it costs 2p a mile in electricity. It won't suit everyone. But I do think it's a fantastic do-it-all car. No, it doesn't excel at everything, and yes, in isolation, I'd rather take something like a Lotus out on a twisty country road (or especially on a track), but that's not a viable proposition for many - and, as much as the comparison is overdone, that's why there's a market for BMW M cars.

Great presentation style, BTW

Shame there's no heated steering wheel option.. but at least it has a heat pump as standard (are you listening, Kia??)

Have 2022 A 220. I’m able to use the iPhone for remote start however if I unlock the door using the actual key fab or touch the door handle Wikileaks in possession of the key fab the car turns off. Is this the way this feature is designed or am I doing it incorrectly??? Thank you for the help.

Can you tell me know 2025 Mercedes Benz GLC300 have dash cam

Interesting! Great video again Gok!

Would you rather have your Old C Coupe, E Coupe or the CLE? Assume all have same engines.

Drama. I haven't driven one yet.. Butt in guessing it won't be all we hoped. Because we assume diving one will be magically like it is in the movies.. Bad Boys, Against All Odds.. No Name Lands.... These cars driven by professional sprinter m stunt men, camera trucks, maybe by an eccentric pro driver.. Ask we get it's a whiff off what the 911 can do.... The"funeral"of what the car can do.

The average driver will never know the limits of any car they drive simply because were don't know how and never completed on a track on any level.. Shattered or professional.. Never went too"racing school"....A LOT MORE than stepping m stepping on the gas and praying you don't die

The car , in my opinion, was very good.

In the market for one now. Would you buy the pre facelift model with a bigger petrol engine or get the facelift model with a standard diesel?

Great clip :) I must agree with some of the other comments that this piano black plastic really doesn’t elevate the look of the interior, I think it does the opposite. As for the new sales model - I don’t see that benefiting anyone other than the dealer. Thanks for another great video!

Can you not code MBUX so that when you turn your ignition on the recording starts automatically...better still can't Mercedes just have a toggle to permanently turn on or off dashcam?! ...come on MB!

As someone who spent some time in car sales (prestige and volume) I think that the new experience model could be very interesting and I look forward to my own experience… Great review again thanks Gok.

All cars with cameras should have internal / built-in dashcams. Tesla is a garbage car, but their dashcam recording is what should be the norm.

Mercedes-Benz really need to get rid of the piano black plastic once and for all. It is a nightmare for scratches and fingerprints and dust… Great video again, good watch. When it comes to Agency, the worst thing about buying a car (or anything higher value) is the unnecessary time wasted to being put through a sales process, negotiating, and stress. Agency takes all that away, brilliant!

GREAT REVIEW!

Enjoyed the review. I am currently driving a BMW. M4 Competition Cabriolet. But lusting after a 911 GTS. Targa. The M4 Comp. flies but the Targa is just so pretty sexy machine Plus the German tech in the. 992.2 impresses me Porsche really think outside the box with use of hybrid turbos. Any thoughts. ? One concern being because it’s a Targa apparently not all the nice bits from the 911 Turbo that are now in the GTS make it into the Targa. Cheers. All From another guy who looks back twice. LOL

I once met a finance employee from Ford at a party, and he gladly gave me the % mark ups of the Ford range at the time. The dearer the car, the greater the mark up.

Germany brands are gone sick with there payments to things you have allready ...

Interesting approach by Mercedes. I reckon more brands will move over to this business model. Buying new cars is a very different landscape now! This is one of the prettiest cars on the market! Good job on the video!

Amazing video!!! It's very in-depth and explains the optional extras on the R-Line compared to some other videos!!

Hello Sir, I have Benz A200 2021 model. Pls how can I watch video in my car while I park? I dont wanna die so I cant watch videos while driving sir. Can I buy the white SD stuff from apple and load videos on the SD card to watch videos? Your reply will be appreciated sir. Thank you!

And that's not Alcantara, if you want real Alcantara you need to get yourself a Maclaren or Ferrari 😂

There are higher mountains😊

0:53 lmao same

FYI. This isn't allowed in the US. The camera cannot be activated. I have no idea why.

Do you think it’s worth upgrading from the 2019 GLC 63s coupé model? Is the improvement in ride quality noticeable? Thanks.

I'm sad it replaced Talisman, I love my Talisman:(

GREAT VIDEO! ITS TRULY NOT FOR EVERYBODY, BUT YOU CAN'T LIE THAT IT'S A REALLY COOL CAR BESIDES IT BEING QUIET.

Problem is, it has no roar, no meanness. The fake engine noise is horrible. Need that v8 with a 3.5+" exhaust

Hey, isn't it cheaper to go hybrid and consume a few gas and charge it at home only?

I’m going to side with McLaren on this occasion. W1NNER 😅

“ What if you only have £300,000 to play with?” All these poor peasants hey? 😂😂😂

Have one on order. Cannot wait until it arrives

Great thorough review. I like all about this car and was thinking of buying one, but put off with the three cylinder engine

Great video, I’m considering this for my next company car after having a Peugeot 408 Plug in for a month, the plug in is a faff just to get 28 electric miles!! So self charging would be better, it is a great looking car crammed with tech

VW have screwed up the styling of the Tiguan

Best car ever

Picking mine on Wednesday and can't wait...I am keeping my C43 AMG Coupe for weekend driving and use my Mod 3 Performance for work!!

Of course you need it, even if you dont go max speed you can legally do rollercoaster feeling up to legal speed. But the strength of the 2024 3P is that its got good sound insulation, its got better seats with heat pump for cooling too and you have a quicker steering rack. The efficciency is also great, so is the adaptive dampers which make the car a joy to drive even on slow driving. The car I would say is very good and at the cost it is a steal! I have some dragracing videos of the 2024 3P on 1/8 mile on youtube and on instagram. Did win against cars like Corvette C8 on slicks, Camaro ZL1 on slicks, BMW i40 M5 etc. Pulled away from them quite easy, had low 1.7 60 feet times. Since it was ET7.7 races I had to brake a lot towards goal. I also did good in autocross with it, on stock wheels. But next year I will go with square wheels for autoslalom to try to do even better. This variant is much better for autoslalom than the older 3P was, as the new one has a softer front swaybar and stiffer rear bar, this makes it more prone to oversteer, then you can point it where you want and accellerate. So its quite good in the handling department, but you have to push it much harder than you would imagine, around the cones. Especially in wet around cones it did surprise me quite a lot.

Loved the angle of looking at the car without its V8 pedigree. I've been a long time AMG fan, and while I still love the emotion and sound from my 19' GLC 63S, I think it's a fair compromise for performance and technology. It'll be nice to leave neighborhoods silently at night. We'll see with time!

Absolutely loved the video. After so long, a video on a car seemed so refreshing. Thank you and much power 👏🏼

The Seal's LFP battery makes all the difference. Full range all the time instead of 80%, safer, etc

excellent - have just bought the 4GTS in the same colour! Confirmed what I hoped I'd purchsed!

Such an attractive looking car

I thought about selling my old 997.2 4 GTS many times, but "...the escape...place of solace"...nicely put. I'm keeping it now! Thanks for that.

I got mine for a month now. Very satisfied

Just came across your review as I'm collecting a 2024 GLA250e on Friday, so looking for as many reviews as I can. Good review thanks, however how does your silly "good for the world" statement look now? not aged well.

Great video again, very chill with a very fast car. I think the best option is the long range Tesla, as you said you do not need a performance version of it, they are all fast enough anyway. Would love to buy one, but since Elon went full Trump, and the promised but never actually delivered FSD drove me away from it….
