I bought my mom a 2018 model about a year and a half before she passed away from liver disease. She loved it. I sold it to my sister and she loves it. Black on brown leather. They’re great cars. Comfortable, good on gas and provide fairly good power. The 4 banger turbo was good to her. Worth every penny. I’m looking at a Buick Envision Avenir myself for pure comfort reasons, but this is a nice suv.
Kudos on scooping this first US review! I have a GLC and it's been great. Mercedes did a nice job maintaining its DNA while refreshing the areas where it had fallen behind. It should continue to be a leader in the segment.
Which one is better, lexus rx 350 or this one? Comparing fully specced rx with equivalent glc with same price. Also is the rx significantly bigger? Deciding between the two
This one for sure. Lot more tech and interior lighting. Lexus doesn’t have anything innovative like Mercedes. But although, I think the RX compares with the GLE in class.
If you want a more luxury oriented driving experience, or will keep the vehicle more than 5 years, go with Lexus. Otherwise the Mercedes is more sophisticated and responsive.
Great review guys! I specially like your usp the sound check no other car reviewer provides that, can you publish your full list? Which are the top 3 vehicles in terms of quiet cabin noise. @carconfections
How do you cool of the car from the heat because of the panoramic roof? Does it come with an automatic shade for the roof? If it doesn’t I can imagine the heat for those sitting in the back.
In the uk the we have a grey wood finish instead of walnut & the centre console is a faux carbon fibre effect not piano black. Also no option for night package in the uk
Reasons i love car confections 1.Gets straight to the point 2.Reviews them more accurately and tells every detail than any other reviewers 3. I Love the intro 4. Reviews nicely and doesnt talk too much useless stuff You guyz deserve like 10M subs
I don't think the 2023 GLC has traffic jam assist. I do not see that on my build sheet and I just ordered the 23' GLC 300 4matic with Pinnacle package.
Great review as always, really liking the refresh. That piano black is not a nit-pick, crazy! Surprised the configurator is not up yet. Aren't we pretty far along into the '23 model year? 🤔
@@bennylinhe3129 Early delivery GLC’s are all dealer orders. Special customer orders were not accepted until mid April 2023 and those were a revisal of a dealer order that had been already placed. Actual delivery should be late summer.
Bah…not really. People Ike to think that but I’ve never seen it work out how people think it will. I think when people do cer-coat it they are just more aware and treat it better vs if they don’t. Better yet just option a better material.
2 questions from a current GLC owner: 1. Do the memory seat buttons work with just one press finally or do you still have to annoyingly hold them down the entire time your seat adjusts? 2. Does the sunroof always open all the way when you open the shade, meaning every time you open the shade you have to then close the sunroof because it always opens it all the way up. Or will pressing the open button finally just only open the shade?
Not sure about the first question because we did not set up the memory seats. For the sunroof, the first press of the button just opens the shade and then another press opens up the sunroof itself. Thanks for watching!
If this thing is sold at 60k USD (On The Road price) in my country i will fucking buy it tommorow in hard cash. GLC 300 is sold 115k USD (On The Road price) in Indonesia.
This is definitely the first US review I’ve seen. I was hoping the us model would have the usb c in the back but nope. Such an L. I really like that for the kid when going to be in the car for a while
Hello, I purchased a GLC 400e with the AMG Premium package on January 26, 2023. After two months, I experienced issues with the transmission controllers. In fact, the gearbox repeatedly failed at high speeds, especially above 160 kilometers per hour, causing significant stress and concern for my own safety and that of my family while driving on the highway. This serious risk of an accident has put me and my family in danger. After four attempts to diagnose the problem by Mercedes, starting from June 21, my vehicle has been at the Mercedes service center in Aschaffenburg, Germany. However, unfortunately, they do not have the necessary parts for the repair, and I am forced to wait until July 31. Undoubtedly, this lengthy delay has left me extremely dissatisfied and angry with Mercedes. Until today, despite sending multiple emails to Mercedes and filling out their form, they have not made any contact or taken any actions to address my concerns and seek my satisfaction.
Any Idea why they went with a touch screen for everything, even essential buttons like heating and air? If that screen goes out, you are screwed. Hepatic touch steering wheel? Try using that while turning or on ruff surface. I think it is the most frustrating! Cadillac, Lexus, Mazda and Toyota have learned that you cant put everything on a touchscreen and forget about hepatic anything while your driving. And no reviewers are talking about that. Must have a new interior design team. Everything else is really nice.
It clear to see that Mercedes has put their all into this redesign. They didn’t skimp out anywhere on this. The modo “the best or nothing” really shows because it has the same attributes as it’s larger siblings and i am fond of the route Mercedes is taking with their new and redesigned product’s.
@@PaulTC777 features like that give off more ambience to the interior which attracts consumers resulting in more profit and for some the ambient lighting does have an emotional factor depending on the color you have the ambient lights on.
@@keska01 The problem is that I liked BMW's X3 interior better but now they are also following the non integrated big screen trend that annoys me so much, but overall I would still choose BMW.
Be warned: Hello, are there any other customers with a GLC W254 300e AMG-line (2023) -same goes for the GLC coupé or the 2023 C classe (w206) with an incomplete the ambient lighting (despite having paid for the SA894 option)? FYI, The assembly plant runs out of LEDs (among others) and assembles the vehicles without installing the missing LEDs. (Air vents, door handles and central console edges) They deliver the NEW GLCs to customers and IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A RETRO-FIT NOR A REFUND. Quote Mercedes-Benz. This is how we are treated: "the customer just has to be happy to be able to pay a good price for a one of our vehicles..." You don't believe me? Ask your dealer (they ave an internal memo with the details)
I think it looks beautiful, I’m not a fan of the pattern on the seats, the SL has the same pattern and it looks very cheap if you ask me. I don’t understand my Mercedes-Benz is using basic LED headlights on such a beautiful SUV, I know they have the adaptive optional headlights however, you should always make these headlight LED beam vs this cheap bulbless look. Thank you.
60k for a 4 poper. Wow. I test drove the new c300 and it was okay for $46K. Anything more it's silly. I bought my all blk C43 AMG in 2017 for $56K with all the must have options and my c300 in 2011 fully loaded for $37K discounted from $42K. Never selling them. I ordered a new M2 for $64K just 4K more than this mass produced in Alabana, look at me know hot mommy SUV.
How do you verify this is new? It looks exactly the same as it did 6 years ago. I can’t believe Mercedes designers were too tied up with all the identical EV bean cars to come up with something fresh here. 😂
It is their best-selling model so they didn't want to mess with it too much. Plus the styling is aging gracefully so if it's not broken don't fix it. I saw one at a dealer yesterday, and the differences are more obvious in person, especially the size.
Terrible looking grill. What’s with the cheap looking openings. Honestly the only Mercedes that looks good is the S class and G wagon. Their cheaper models for some reason look ugly. And by cheap I mean 60k.
@@coldshock5181 The new GLC interior is the worst interior design since the crappy Tesla interiors. I prefer the interior of GLE with the horizontal screens just like in the new RX. GLC looks like shit inside out the Mazda CX-60 looks 10x better
@@coldshock5181 The Merc basically copied Tesla and tried to improve it but it still looks like shit. The GLE has the best interior in the Merc lineup which is still using a last gen interior language from Merc which was way better the whole industry is trying to imitate it and Merc were the once that started this trend only to abandon their amazing design with some Tesla inspired shit. They took a turn for the worst in their latest gen interiors. This GLC looks so boring inside out on the outside it looks like a blob and on the inside it looks like schizophrenic.

Job well done in doing this very first US Spec redesigned GLC review. You guys are amazing! Keep up the good work!

Glc looks nice with the refresh. Keep up the good work.
I love the new look, we just got these in at my dealership and I think they’ll sell extremely fast with this upgraded look
The best way Mercedes could’ve redesigned the GLC…looks better on the inside than the EQ cars
Love this video!! I currently have the GLC 300 4matic Sport Pkg and I can’t wait to upgrade to this 2023!

The traffic in our City is very disordered, can I switch on/ off Active Brake Assist by MBUX voice assistant?
Is there any way to look at the list you showed, the one that has the noise lever measurements.
We are currently working on a way to add the measurements to our website so stay tuned!
Are the front seats comfortable? They don’t look very promising on camera but I could be wrong.
They're totally fine but like a lot of German vehicles, they skew on the firm side
I love it and I really want it but I think I'm gonna get one with selenite Gray exterior with black and red leather seats in the interior
Was the AC adour issue fixed by a new design?
I have the 18 and I'm def upgrading!!❤
Excellent job guys! - I am in the market - this may be the one!
Thanks! Good luck, this is certainly a strong offering
That piano black interior is going to look awful as the car ages. I can’t stand when manufacturers over do it with the piano black.
Agreed, but they do offer other options.
Happy Saturday!
Happy Sunday now!
Ceramic coating the gloss black center console will help with all of the scratches.
Bah…not really. People Ike to think that but I’ve never seen it work out how people think it will. I think when people do cer-coat it they are just more aware and treat it better vs if they don’t. Better yet just option a better material.
Its actually so sad the plug in isn't coming to the u.s especially considering the popularity of the RAV4 and I have no idea why not
