Mercedes GLC 2023 Review

This is the all-new Mercedes GLC!

Having first been introduced back in 2015, the all-new GLC is here, and it has competitors such as the Audi Q5 & BMW X3 in its sights! The question is, are there enough updates and changes to grab your attention?

In terms of looks, the new GLC takes a number of design cues from the C-Class. But then again, that’s no surprise, given it’s effectively an SUV version of the popular saloon! As a result, it comes with swooping tail lights and a generally good-looking rear end (even if it comes with both fake exhausts and vents)! The side profile is pretty sleek and sporty, while there’s a bigger grille, two Mercedes badges, and if you choose the AMG-line edition, a pretty sporty front bumper.

It’s more of the same on the inside, with the cabin proving to be super stylish. There’s a massive infotainment screen in the centre of the dash, along with soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout the car. The air vents are well laid out, and the seats are super comfy. Overall, it doesn’t get much better than this when it comes to mid-sized SUVs.

When it comes to performance, there’s a choice of diesel, petrol and plug-in hybrid engines to choose from. The range-topper is the 2-litre turbo petrol PHEV, which delivers 313hp. They all come with 9-speed gearboxes and four-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid can also drive for up to 80 miles on electric power alone!

There’s one key feature you need to keep in mind, however… The new Mercedes GLC starts from £52,000! That’s more expensive than the key competitors from BMW, Audi and Porsche! So should you choose this SUV over the competition? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 or Audi Q5... Which is best?

[resadrecebli]

Man I miss old carwow titles in which he properly mentioned the name and model of the car instead of this

[tz]

GLC are great, had ours 6 years, feels very solid and secure

While watching this video, I thought that someday Matt will leave his job in the carwow and we won't see him anymore. That's making me sad, because I really like the way Matt behave during filming these reviews. I don't know how old is he but he still simple, funny and cheerful like child on these videos. Thanks for your job and take care of yourself man)

[cannyscott]

I love these old school carwow reviews probably more then the drag races

[Rodisflawless]

Fake exhausts, fake wood, fake leather, fake sound... Real money. We are really getting screwed these days aren't we?

[topcarspecs]

Anytime I see Matt with a Stick in his hand.. I know a Mercedes is around the Corner 😂

[robsawalker]

A 2 litre diesel with 292 BHP... just let that sink in for a minute... utterly insane!

[Nico_lente]

Still want to know what happened to the Rimac stick of truth

[Yashuop]

Don’t we all love a daily dose of watching carwow?❤️

I am 6’5” and have really enjoyed my 2017 AMG 43. Unfortunately, I have very little legroom left with my seat position and cannot fit baby seats or carry adults behind me. Suggest switching out the brake pads for ceramics immediately after brake pad light comes on. You can avoid replacing the expensive rotors. The ceramic pads have very little brake dust. I have switched my service away from MB now that I am out of warranty and have saved a ton of cost. I would highly recommend as a used car if you have a non-MB mechanic available.

6:26. Mat's look of defeat was just pure gold.

[nejc]

Looks very stylish, I like what they done with the lights, but I cannot resist to see a coupe version!

[fuiers]

5:20 Now this is proper consumer advice. Never seen Mat so determined.

[luqmanomar]

Matt testing the creaky brakes with no sound and out of context is hilarious

[okithdesilva]

The new Mercedes GLC is such a practical, efficient and luxurious family SUV!

[gothamantiquities]

Didn’t hold back on this one, ! Lol also, spot on about the surveillance with recording and cops not doing shit about it! I’m in New York and he is right about that!

[colinbooth]

The leatherette "makes it seem expensive". It IS expensive!

[shubhendumahapatra]

I likes the fact that he actually opened the manual rather than blaming the brand.

I can see the coupe version making headlines especially the AMG version. Insane design but I look forward to seeing the coupe
