Mercedes-AMG GLC 63S - REVIEW - too much ain't enough

You'd think this uber-powerful SUV would have it all, right? Glorious engine, sorted chassis, heavy-metal soundtrack, luxury decor, and all the safety features you could shake a pair of crutches at. Yet cars don't always add up to the sum of their parts. How's this most bad-ass of small-ish SUVs stack up? Put on your headphones and find out.

Appreciate the review, but not sure the seeming comparison of a SUV to an M5. Anything in SUV close to this? Doesn't seem like it. I just ordered one and don't expect it to run like my Z06.

Hi Jarod. Thanks for your feedback and nice to hear you’ve got an AMG GLC 63S on the way. I’m sure you’ll have a fun time in it. And yes, the Z06 is a great other option to keep in the garage when you’re after an altogether different experience. Cheers for watching. Blu.

I have driven this exact press car and can confirm that I did hammer it quite a bit! Great review Blu. No need to faff about with the paddles to launch from when I drove it.

Thanks Zach. Drove this thing back in June or July I think. Unrivaled soundtrack but otherwise, left me cold.

[@unintentionallyfire]

@@CarNutvideos yep, AMG is killing it with their soundtracks. I thought it drove quite well, if a bit fidgety with the big rims. Still more comfy than the X3 M Competition though.

OMG AMG SUV WOW!

Definitely a bit of you Paul.

Mate… it’s sooo simple to race start… why not just do a quick google instead of faffing around with it in your video?

[@CarNutvideos]

Mate…I did the KZbin research in advance. It’s still a pain-in-the-butt process that gets in the way of instant gratification.

The reviewer obviously is a BMW fan boy. Go and review M5 or M2. Who cares what you love more! You’re here reviewing a beast, a complete beast which I just purchased yesterday 2021 model in selenite grey. Shame on you for comparing it to M5 totally different cars. You’d rather compare it to a BMW X3M competition. It’s like driving a BMW X3M and comparing it to an AMG C63S. You’re not sounding smart at all….

[@CarNutvideos]

As a completely impartial person it’s so great to hear from another one. Do you think that maybe your purchase of this vehicle might be slightly influencing your response to any critique of it? A tad defensive methinks. Enjoy your ride.

Thanks for watching. 👍

Debbie Downer in a bad press car, obviously I'm biased as I own one but why are you complaining about dropping kids off at soccer in this go buy a people carrier, I'm using mine for European road trips with luggage and golf clubs, it's perfect and a monster on the highways that's what it's for, not Chelsea tractor runs.

[@johnchristie7514]

If this isn’t enough , I’d love to know what is. BMW M5?

[@CarNutvideos]

Yes the M5 is a whole different proposition when it comes to driver engagement. Better yet, go smaller and lighter and simpler with an M2.
