Funny thing is in Europe you can get the GLC as a 6 cylinder - the 450d. 367 metric hp and is slightly quicker than this Amg, while achieving over 550 miles of range.

I bought a GLC43 couple months ago, previous car was a Macan S.

Another reviewer termed it as an ‘unhappy marriage between combustion and electric drivetrains.’ Again, I agree but only at low speeds

[@jacobyo99]

Fun fact: this car does not have rear window tint/privacy glass because it sits too low. The regular GLC has rear tinted windows standard.

[@bwofficial1776]

That's weird, you'd think that tinted windows would come on the lower car because it's closer to SUV/truck headlight height. If I'm paying over $30k for anything I'd expect it to have tinted back windows. But that's the Germans for you, they'd make round wheels and transparent glass optional if it was legal.

19:41 as an AMG owner, there’s ways around this to ensure you’re getting a smoother ride quality. First off, if you have 21” wheels, anyone with a level-head knows you’re going to have a rough ride. That, coupled with whether you have good tire tread / pattern. 20” AMG wheels makes all the difference, and is the sweet spot for looks + performance and ride quality. Secondly, lean into adjusting your adaptive suspension dampers. Unless I’m doing harsh corners, etc., I’ll keep everything in Sport+ mode, dynamic power train mode, minus the suspension - that gets adjusted to comfort mode, and it makes ALL the difference over rough roads. It’s not airbag suspension quality, but man… it’s damn close, and makes the road a lot more smoother.

Mid size more likely. The GLE is BIG and the GLS is GIGANTIC

[@wowdogeful]

It isn't really. It's the crossover equivalent to a C-Class, which is a midsize car. The GLE is large and the GLS is gargantuan, but the GLC is just a regular midsize SUV similar in size to a Skoda Kodiaq or Volkswagen Tiguan.

[@damilolaakanni]

@wowdogeful by American standards the C Class is a compact car, it competes with the BMW 3 series, Genesis G70, Audi A4, Lexus IS etc. Since the GLC is based on the C Class, that makes it a compact crossover by American standards. Remember that they have the Chevrolet Surburban and Ford Expedition which are full size SUVs.

That's because all the brave Europeans came here. What's left is folks who drive testicular shaped vehicles to compensate

[@hansm.picazo2550]

I want one hopefully in 4 years !

[@somebody9785]

Doug is the kind of guy to be the kind of guy 😮

[@ozarkliving7263]

You aren’t funny or original. Grow up. Keep your stupid comments to yourself and make millions of normal people happy.

[@SadHampter]

6:56 You can also press the mode select dial on the wheel to change it to different quick access modes like exhaust and suspension.

Being that it’s only a 200 something horsepower difference between the 63 amg and the GLC43 amg is really good bang for buck

[@Eric-ow4rw]

It is crazy Doug still not figure out that two buttons at the bottom left of the steering wheel is actually configurable. Tap the screen can switch to different functions，and then use the button to activate it.

[@Eric-ow4rw]

And also, this M139 engine does have some turbo lag. You don’t feel it because it has an electric turbo to eliminate the turbo lag. The older M139 in A45S definitely feels the lag. But with these new longitudinal M139L version Merc gives a lot of electrics to assist it, giving it more power and less lag.

[@philipjacob2314]

We got a 17 GLC 300 since new and it’s been good over the last 7 years. Very nice handling vehicle even in base model and the base engine is surprisingly quick for a 4 cylinder. I can only imagine how great the AMG is. Only complaints of the vehicle is a rattling interior, bad sounding 4 cylinder, and a ride that is too stiff-probably due to run flats.

[@pradeepmagan6951]

can you do one on the GLA, don't like the centre screen to big and no manual aircon controls

[@alexpiroozian8708]

Please review the AMG GLE 53 SUV!

[@John.Christopher]

Honestly looks pretty nice

[@olles-xt6fu]

Thats a lot of waving with the hands :)

[@saiiiii8683]

Does the coupe version perform the same? In my country mercedes only released the coupe version

[@InfamousStar1]

Doug, do a review on the GLB 35 AMG.

[@blondiebxl]

I wonder if Doug knows his Mercedes infotainment routine by heart. Could you ask him to spell it all out even if there isn't a Mercedes in front of him?

[@lptomtom]

Can't believe he's that enthusiastic about such a gaudy infotainment system, looks like a strip club

[@blondiebxl]

@@lptomtomIt’s still one of the best, if not the best, on the car industry. Don’t take my word for it. Doug DeMuro says so. And he knows! 😂

[@stealthy3928]

Just test drove one, absolutely loved it. I have a hard time with the price though. This will be my first Mercedes. With this price point does anyone have any thoughts ? Stuff to compare it to ?

[@eatsleepdrift4494]

this car got an electrically-assisted turbo, thats why its got so much boost over a 2 liter four cylinder

[@jeffreydavidmarks]

if u squint you can imagine it’s the cla45 wagon we didn’t get 😭

[@rustler08]

Didn't want*

[@jayt9638]

Doug is the type of guy who has never seen, heard of, or touched a comb

[@justiceodueze2897]

The grand Cherokee SRT went for $18K??!! Sheesh I wish I would’ve bid on that

[@somecarguy19]

6:54 how many times do I have to tell you those buttons can be changed for other functions just press on the screen itself and it cycles through the options

[@videowsatcher]

It's not a 63 unless its a V8; Mercedes just like BMW is guilty of watering down of their performance brand

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

I just saw a C43 and I heard its exhaust, and it has a low rumble. I think it might have been the mics Doug was using. I have a recording of the C43 and the audio doesn't do it justice.
