Better Than The Old GLC In Every Way, Except One (Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 2023 Review)

[@maharajanramanathan2979]

Nice crisp review Curt, lots of information from a relatively short video. Eagerly awaiting A200 and A250 reviews, hope that's not too far away.

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

Nice presentation!!

The newest Mercedes-Benz GLC is tecnically less secure acoording to NCAP. The 2016 year model is actually the most secure in passive collision protection.

[@billybob1511]

No one bought the old version? There is a lot of them on carsales for sale used... Oh and during covid not too many people wanted to pay 100k driveaway for a GLC200 LOL (that's what I was quoted from one dealer!)

[@alexchen6829]

has anyone been experiencing 48 volt battery suddenly failing or shutting off on these in Australia? It seems like many American-spec GLC have this problem

[@ChristianVik-y4u]

Most hybrids/electric cars have electrical issues. Volvo, MB and so on. Thhis is why I have a pure petrol version.

At 120 thousand on road, mercedes fixed price policy is ridiculous

[@carloseduardolijo9367]

Thanks for the review. As always, Curt cut straight to the important points in a clear and honest way. Regarding the GLC, nice interior but too expensive. I’d rather buy a X3

[@zaamuro8408]

Not bad performance figures.

[@BennnWJK]

All new cars these days look way too fussy and over designed. Some restraint in terms of design goes a long way in a car like this.

[@michaelb4525]

Mercedes are taking buying public in Australia for complete idiots. No air suspension, no 4 wheel steering, no engine choice unlike overseas. No third zone temp control. Pricing increase is very high. Quality also doubtful given the number of recalls in Australia on M products. None of this will matter as MB buyers don’t cross shop and will pay regardless of quality.

Overseas but don’t count Indonesia. Same specs but it’s AUD 170k+ here. 😢

[@DLL-y4p]

how is the ride quality compared to the C-class?

[@CarsFromOz]

Stupid money for a vehicle that looks like it's been designed by an intern.

[@ChristianVik-y4u]

I think the design is ok for GLC. When MB tried the boxy GLK almost no persons bought it, so a less boxy shape sells more. You can try MB GLB instead, that is more boxy, if you prefer that.

[@HaruHaruman]

Ridiculously overpriced in my opinion. Not saying it's a bad car but Merc is jacking up the prices like they've lost their minds. You would either be filthy rich or dumb to buy this over the X3 or GV70

[@HaruHaruman]

@bens6674 your point is only valid if their vehicles are actually desirable and build quality and specs are exceptional. The problem is that the recent Merc vehicles don't tick any of these boxes. The interior looks fancy - yes, but if you actually touch them, they are just gloss black, plasticky and the constant rattles are very, very common. Driving capability is far behind the counterparts from the BMW, theexterior design is now just lazy and identical across all ranges. And with their newest EV designs along with their latest AMG line-up adopting 4 cyl engines, I just think they are begging the customers to buy their subpar vehicles just for the badge.

​@HaruHaruman Man stop the long talk. Mercedes always provide quality and you have no right to say anyone who buys them is dumb as the customers know what they get.
