Why you'll want this luxury SUV! 2024 Mercedes GLC 300 4Matic review

The 2024 Mercedes GLC doesn't do much wrong.

In fact, it's a really complete feeling luxury SUV, one that offers family buyers a huge amount of technology, refinement and premium features.

But it's now a hundred grand - yes, more than $100,000 AUD - for the single-spec GLC 300 petrol-turbo version.

There are faster, funner models coming in the form of the AMG GLC range, but this one might be all the car you'll need, with a punchy mild-hybrid turbo powertrain.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.

If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.

I'm aiming to upload a review or two per week, so if you have any specific cars you want me to take a look at, please feel free to leave a comment. Any feedback on my content is welcome, and you can feel free to email me or hit me up on social media.

I'm eager to see this new channel grow, and it can only do that with your support and feedback - so please let me know if there's anything you don't like, want more of, or would like to see changed. I'd love to hear from you.

4:13 - I made a mistake - the correct boot capacity is 620 litres!

Tech is not luxury. Luxury is a different thing all together. But this car has both in spades. Got mine two days ago and blown away with it.

[SCELO_MYEZA.]

It's a great car, for sure. In fact, there's nothing to fault in this car as long as you avoid a glossy trim on the center console. My pick would be a GLC 300d for more performance and efficiency 😊


I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 by the way, so this thing isn't cheap. It comes at R1 500 000, which is roughly $129 000.

I'm not complaining because it simply means that I'm just not a target market 😂

Interesting.. it doesn't come as a plugin hybrid? Strange.. the GLC **ONLY** comes as a plugin hybrid here now, the AMG line aside. Only 300e and 400e.

A very informative video, but describing things as "good" is a bit lazy. More descriptive adjectives are needed, IMHO. I also wish you had commented on the reliability of MB cars, as their reputation in this area is often criticised.

put a deposit for it, interior design is just better than anything else in my opinion

[dkkli]

Really like the new infotainment setup in the new Mercedes lineups. GLC's exterior is always one of the best anyway. However, X3's interior still feels more quality to me, and drives just better. GLC is fixed pricing, while X3 is always negotiable, which will end up cheaper than GLC I believe. Overall, it's just very hard to beat the X3.
Q5 really needs a big update to stay competitive to these 2, especially when you factor in "it's just a more expensive VM" (said my wife..).

Genuine question, what does a GLC do better than a mainstream medium SUV (ignoring the badge of course)?

I just don’t really understand the point of buying a GLC300 over a CR-V RS eHEV or a CX-5 Akera turbo or something along those lines.

[TwoHemiViewer]

I noticed what looked like steering wheel transmission shifters, is that correct ???

[PhilHare-ernr]

Yep, there's rear cup holders. So many reviewers have difficulty with the double tap to bring them out. The rear cargo capacity is 620 litres. The 550 litres you showed is the old model.

[JF-dinr]

I feel it was a missed opportunity to say that the rear air con vents look like a minion.

[fairworld]

I love the car but I really really disappointed with the rubbish Primary school level dashboard design

[CoolTies]

I love my Ford Edge Titanium Elite and other than exclusiveness the Mercedes doesn’t offer more. Certainly not enough for twice the price. If I did want to spend more I’d get a loaded Lincoln Nautilus or maybe a Cadillac XT5. These German cars (or Korean knockoffs) just aren’t better.

[buncha]

Over $ 100, 000 and fake leather :ie vinyl seats 3 prong are having a laugh. 😊

[aimeyalala]

Not a normal car for normal Australian 😢 mindset of Australian is different from brands pricing because so many choices are cheaper

[rubyred]

Enough of the vegan leather on new cars! I like the GLA better.

[aimeyalala]

Why are you happy and smiling because it's Mercedes but and The cost of living that's not a car for for any one in Australia 😅
