2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 - Living With A Small Benz SUV

This week I daily drove the newly refreshed 2023 Mercedes GLC. This platform was outdated, and the much needed refresh finally does the GLC justice.

Just got a 24 and love it. I get much better mileage than indicated. Excellent performance, comfortable, luxury and super quiet interior . The Burmester sound system is excellent!

[@eek0h]

i laughed so hard with your interaction with M word voice assistant 🤣

[@seb5945]

Good thing he wasn't reviewing a Nissan.

[@VisionCityMayor]

i've essentially been the second owner of my grandpa's '22 GLE350 with the same powertrain and i've had a similar experience over the ~2000 miles i've driven it! its really nice to drive around town with only a few hiccups here and there from the mild hybrid system. its not super sporty but it's still got enough power to pass on the I-5.

[@cliftoncrooks6389]

Nice video, man. You're a real car guy. Love how you pointed out those other cars while driving.

[@GOdelta2]

I liked living with my 2020 GLC for a 2 year lease. It was intuitive, adaptable, well calibrated, and my dog loved it.

[@wizardmix]

I am SO sick to death of auto manufacturers burying every function into a touch screen system, especially when it involves multiple menu dives for commonly used functions. It's dangerous, it takes a person's attention away from the road and it's pure and simple cost cutting. Screens are cheap, buttons are expensive. It's cheaper to bulk a vehicle's functions into a CPU but when these CPUs and screens fail, that's the end of it. These cars are disposable luxury. Fun for the first 3 to 5 years, and trash after that.

Awesome video)

[@stevensumner3146]

Great vid and the experience overall appeared good, but left me wondering if we don’t over complicate things sometimes, but I guess once it’s set up to taste you just leave it there. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@craigkoch4585]

Nice job thank you!

[@tommasomanzali7847]

I have a diesel C-Class with the 220d engine (200+20 hp 2.0 diesel) and I have to say I love this new MB concept in this segment. It's so comfy and silent in there, and it's so quick and fuel efficient!

[@JacobAaron97]

“It’s okay, it really is” in a disappointed tone as getting out of the car made me laugh 😂

[@technoalah]

Nice review

[@marcustvchannel5885]

Very beautiful vehicle

[@ryans7097]

How did you feel with the all haptic controls in the car? I test drove a c300 and just changing the volume to the right level felt like a pain in the ass, it was such a turn off. Don’t get what Mercedes is doing but maybe it’s just not for me.

[@Ethan-..782]

How are you able to drive all these cars like this? How would I start this and also do you get paid for it?

[@Extrafancytoaster]

I thought about the Corsair for a while but couldn't justify the subpar tech and drivetrain when compared to a Nautilus, but to hear it just doesnt even compete with the GLC is all i needed to confirm my suspicions about the tiny SUV from Lincoln. Its a shame since the body styling was charming on the Corsair but the rest if it just doesnt offer enough value over a similar ford.

[@jackzhangxiao]

You can turn off “engine sound” at sport mode. It’s from speakers. lol

[@rogerjones1855]

Seeing reflector headlights on this is painful

[@joshblack269]

They're LED reflector not halogen reflector if that helps, heaps of new LED designs are going reflector tbh

[@rogerjones1855]

ik but the previous projector technology with cornering lights and the highbeams that block out the oncoming traffic was much better so its like a big step back and looks wise @@joshblack269

[@JakeDrives1]

Projectors are available

[@alahiri22]

And fake exhausts... I chose X3 M40i over this even though I have a beautiful 2012 model year C-class

[@jazzyflorida3757]

When is the GLE being redesigned ?

[@Mr.Lambert777]

Great review! I was considering getting a 23 GLC43 amg build , but I went for the 23 x3M40i , because number 1 my dealer had an allocation at the time, Mercedes dealer didn’t have one, and they were going to charge me an extra 10k even if I was building one from the factory , so I decided to go with the x3M40i and love the ride and handling because I like to spirit drive a lot lol. The glc is nice , and both have their short comings , but that BMW 😮‍💨you just can’t beat it. I enjoy it everyday.

[@geothermal7999]

It’s the ultimate driving machine!! 😊

[@Mr.Lambert777]

@@geothermal7999 it’s definitely the ultimate driving machine! That slogan is very much true 😆

[@senorgato70]

The X3 M40i is a beast. The -owner and handling is exceptional and I love the loud exhaust note setting. The ride was a bit too firm for me though and it just didn’t feel “luxurious” driving it on the highway. But in;over it but now love my X5 50i

[@Mr.Lambert777]

@@senorgato70 that x5M50i is a beast too. My fav. I can’t afford it tho. My next lease after this one will be a M3

[@doyoulikecrystalgel]

Pretty sure the X3 M40i is best in class, at least for driving engagement and how much fun it is. I could be wrong, but regardless, I LOVE the X3 M40i. Whenever I get tired of my loud e92 M3 and want a more comfy ride, a used (newer) X3 M40i will be at the top of my list. Enjoy your ride! :D

[@Pandaliciousness]

60k+ for a base 300 model ?! That’s ridiculous.

[@warriora7245]

Do the GLC 43😊

[@brucemadu8535]

At 9:40 cost. What currency?

[@timothybracken1728]

How soft is the ride compared to Lexus or other compeititors ?

[@avinashsahoo2773]

Don’t know about others but definitely better ride quality than a Lexus or model y

[@XmarvelsX]

that is why glc 300d is better to delivery torque instantly but not waiting for engine to spin to 3.5-4rpm on petrol

[@dumsday24]

Who else saw the glc coupe in the rear view mirror before it glided by!

[@larton]

Lol, regarding cup holders - don't push it all the way in, just press lightly then let go, that's obvious

[@JakeDrives1]

Idk why folks struggle so hard with it and never figure it out. I’ve seen multiple videos 😂

[@CosmoSock1]

With the cupholders in the back, open the phone slot then double press when it's partially extended. We have a 2023 GLC and those cupholders are the absolute stupidest thing I've ever seen in a car.

[@andygreen3903]

Be warned: Hello, are there any other customers with a GLC W254 (2023) -same goes for the GLC coupé or the 2023 C classe with an incomplete the ambient lighting (despite having paid for the SA894 option)? FYI, The assembly plant runs out of LEDs (among others) and assembles the vehicles without installing the missing LEDs. (Air vents, door handles and central console edges) They deliver the NEW GLCs to customers and IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A RETRO-FIT NOR A REFUND. Quote Mercedes-Benz. This is how we are treated: "the customer just has to be happy to be able to pay a good price for a one of our vehicles..." You don't believe me? Ask your dealer (they ave an internal memo with the details)

[@MrSixPaths]

still im not stalking but theris no shot well i hope i see on u one the road and say hi and that i subscribe to your channel

[@alanr711]

Nice SUV the only issue in the US is the unavailable Continental Eco Contact 6Q tires. Two flats one repairable. Dealer removed one from a new SUV. Mercedes Corp still terrible in reference to.a resolution on these tires. Ordered a AWD but they put on Summer tires that are not sold in the US. Will be filing a law suit within the year. Mercedes customer service is still horrible in my opinion. My next SUV will be a Lexus!!!!!

[@jcheck6]

Why do you guys always review the AMG model ($57K) when most of us are buying the basic GLC ($47K) with upgrades?

[@alpappalardi7044]

What is it with these auto makers installing what looks like the 12 inch I pad glued to the vertical center piece? It’s hideous

[@MariktheWolf]

and HUD you need HUD...every car should come std. with this...for safety esp driving 85 on the interstate...

[@MaticTheProto]

The GLC isn’t small. What? It’s normal sized. The GLA and GLB are the small suvs.

[@juanestebandiaz2706]

Small??? U haven’t seen the GLA or what

I like the look of this car. But I think it is a little overpriced. I think I will stick with my Japanese cars for now

I had a GLK 350d some 12 years ago and I liked its design and simplicity. This interior is really cheap looking, its overdone. Honestly starting to think that Toyota is going to be the new "it" with its old school approach.

[@21Dimen]

Absolute worst car in the segment. All of your videos are great man!

[@djmanosv]

church ?

[@whitegoodman7465]

These fckn cars are smartphones on wheels except 100x more bugs. Ridiculous.

[@JRB41]

$61,000 for a base model GLC!? Better off getting a BMW X3 M40i.. not only is this extremely ugly, but those screens!

[@dagoose.]

Not only that, but dealers upcharge 10-15 000 dollars on these cars. Where I live, there are four glcs for sale, going for 70-90k canadian, original msrp would be 58k-77k cad

[@johnsambo9379]

You can get a GLC for $50,000 not $60,000.

[@mimim6217]

YESS i absolutely love the bmw x3 m30i. great suv thats both sporty and comfy 😊

[@md8744]

Once saying Bmw x3 m40i you must say GLC g43 and Audi sq5 ok. Pl understand . This is 4 cy only ok

ugly interior

[@Acs2046]

That interior is trash…how are people so naive to realize these screens are for cost cutting 🤦‍♂️
