The Mercedes AMG GLC 43 Is Why Sometimes Less Is More

In this video I talk about why the Mercedes AMG GLC 43 is more with less. What I mean by that of course is that this is a AMG 43 model instead of a tradition 63. It has less power and is less aggressive than the aforementioned AMG 63. Mercedes gave the GLC a refresh bringing up to speed with us current design language.
The GLC AMG 43 benefitted from the refresh by getting new headlights, taillights, technology, and a horsepower bump. The Mercedes GLC AMG 43 has a 6 cylinder twin turbo engine making almost 400 horsepower and even though its not the quickest car it does have decent acceleration for an SUV.
So then, what has Mercedes created with this GLC AMG 43. It’s a perfectly balances car that offers a sporty feel, great comfort, and all of the benefits that an SUV brings. It has a great character and handsome looks to go along with it. It is the epitome of less is more.
Let me know what you think of the Mercedes AMG GLC 43 and thanks for watching this video!

Had to take my ML350 in for a recall a couple days ago, and this was my loaner. It was black on black, and absolutely beautiful. For anyone who buys one of these cars, it will put a huge smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel. The twin turbo does not disappoint either.

I’m waiting for my GLC43 delivery.Thank you for this excellent review,l’m even getting more looking forward to my new car.

[@justinfontaine5539]

Really good review..Lots of people doing these and many are lame. You do a great job

[@TYAC_TPE_SF-Bay]

Much appreciated for the close-up shots at the engine bay, tach, trunk, etc.

[@cee_xx]

Thank you for this.. awesome review

[@cpg8000]

Excellent review. Didn’t feel like I was being sold anything, but rather just informed.

Nice job

[@vanquish_engineering]

best review yet! thank you. Can we assume this review was for the 21 Merc? When did the facelift occur? 20 or 21?

[@DriveSteady]

The GLC refresh was for model year 2020. The car in this video is a 2021.

[@redwing2002]

Am caught between a 43 and a 63 but your review makes me feel the 43 is a far more usable car. Here in the UK, our roads are mostly like medieval cart tracks so an SUV is becoming essential. I test drove a new Porsche C4S last week, a lot of power but it really unusable here mainly due to road surface. Great for driving in France bit not the UK, so for me the 43 in Coupe form seems the car to switch to. A great review that was a deciding factor for me. Thanks.

[@aaronwong1648]

I think it won't let you hit redline because you put it in "manual mode" using the paddle shifters instead of using the button on the center console with the gear icon and the M lettering. Somehow different I believe

[@shanebagnall1979]

Great informative review on the beautifully refined GLC 43 AMG. I’m new to your channel, and I very much appreciated your refreshing approach to your review style. As for this vehicle, I’m a BMW fan, but I class this GLC 43 as the “best of class” in the mid size suv range. BMW and Audi simply don’t offer an suv that matches the beauty, refinement, engine & transmission of this Mercedes. Keep up your high standards, as I’m a subscriber now. Shame Australia

[@michaelalley2912]

Very good review video. Thank you. What is your opinion of the noise level and comfort for interstate highway driving? I like the idea of having sportiness when desired, but I don't want the interior to be so loud that my wife and I can't enjoy conversation and the sound system while cruising on the highway.

[@DriveSteady]

Its great on the highway, no worries about comfort or noise

[@Thomas-Tsai-NYC]

Test drive a gv70 3.5..

[@marlonindependent5028]

Good review but nothing about touch pad on the center tunnel, how it works etc...

[@stephenhourigan9763]

This is one hell of a package of inclusions. The bullseye vehicle in terms of luxury, power, driving fun and comfort. Without kids and the need for the SUV, I’m in for the Coupé. Great review and thank you for the entertaining and informative 30 mins of review 👍🏻

[@DriveSteady]

Thanks for watching!

[@lianfengzou3614]

Have you figured out why it doesn’t hit 6000rpm? I have similar issue on my Glc43 2022 model.

[@doxydoxdelamanca9902]

I don't think the exhaust tailpipe tips are fake, they're just not attached/welded to the exhaust.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Therefore, they are fake.

[@dnovelle1]

Maybe it wouldn't let you "redline it" because it wasn't thru the "break-in period"?

[@zmarg07]

Awesome review. I still prefer the x3 m40i. Cheaper, just as nice inside, b58 engine, faster, better driving mechanics.

[@tmed827]

Quality of the stereo is a big deal for me. What was your opinion of the Burmeister Stereo?

[@KC_Smooth]

As an owner it sounds good. The sound is high quality, but my only problem is the base system they use doesn’t feel as strong as I’d like. Overall I’d give it an 8/10

[@samuelblessing293]

How much does the GLC 43 cost?

[@TYAC_TPE_SF-Bay]

If only there were a GLC 430 as in a more daily and economical version of this, while having the option for the offroad package.

[@xenthoughtbrandceo]

I have the GLC AMG 43. The AMG 63 was unnecessary for me, I don’t like the seats in the 63 (stiff racing seats). Comfort mode to when I engage my Sport modes…. GOODBYE lol…. So I would take my 43 off road, but not a 63 if I got it. The 43 is cheaper probably by 15k so there’s that as well. I saw an EQS 580 I would go to if I ever had to go electric.

[@andrewtuttle467]

Disable ESP for control launch.

[@KC_Smooth]

That definitely helps, but it's still not a real launch control like on a lot of the other AMG models. I wouldn't do a left foot braked launch in this car too often personally.

[@hatmatrix4376]

Better than 2015 glk350?

[@urbanscootersph4318]

So GLC43 is not a full amg? Is it like those Benz that has only amg kits and finish?

[@matthewgateoperators2406]

There is a significant difference in performance between a glc 300 and the amg 43, just like the standard bmw x3 is much slower than the x3 m40i

NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE DROP OF THE 63

[@xenthoughtbrandceo]

It was too much power, they kept the GLE 63 …. Same just bigger….

[@richardpruitt5193]

Not a very fast car 4.7 😂

[@matthewostrand617]

its an suv richard. 4.7 in an suv is plenty fast

[@Val_Cosmos]

The coupe looks so much better and not like a grandma's car, there is no character in this version, it's too feminine.

[@Thomas-Tsai-NYC]

Test drive gv70 3.5

[@urelite]

not for me. suv version looks sporty.

Try it in Black or grayish color.
