- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Replacing the GLK, the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class challenges the BMW X3, Lexus NX, and other small-luxury SUVs with its style, features, luxury and the kind of driving experience the enormous 3-point star on the nose suggests.

Just purchased one.............love it.
Awesome, I have one on the way, excited!
do you still have it? have you had any issues? looking to purchase one myself
@@irrayplaceable1858 Did you purchase one and like it?
KBB reviews deserve way more views
agreed
UnsyNZ is there an a.m. porch book for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz SUV that has the porch the time change go bad like the headlight some gas filler lights guess rather him go Stiller and Adams like
It looks so much better than the GLK
David Koslin In the 2.0T CUV arena the Buick Envision 2.0T beats this by miles.
@@normt5463 I wouldn't got that far bc that doesn't look as nice as this does inside & out
Oh KBB and your random water bottles... lol
Got my mom one in black with brown leather and wood trim. She loves it. More than enough power, fuel efficient and extremely comfortable. I have rods in my back from scoliosis and I've never had any issues riding in it. And we did some serious shopping - this is better than anything else in its class, including the BMW X3, Audi or Lexus. I guess the Bentley or Jaguar SUVs are nicer, but at what cost?
not sure why Mercedes has been going with infotainment displays that aren't built into the dash lately. they did it on the c-class and again here. it doesn't blend into the interior and looks tacked on.
+nknasi Or at least make them retract into the dash like audis
I agree, a lot of automakers are going with that "ipad" infotainment look. Just doesn't flow well...
Because otherwise they'd have to change the shape of the entire dash and they didn't want to.
I have a 2011 350C 4matic, the display hides in the dash on the hit of a button. Love that feature, makes it look old school.
Just a reminder- Mercedes Infotainment is called COMMAND not MBRACE. MBRACE is their carXphone technology
Time for a comparison of the top 6 Luxury mid-sized SUV's. GLC, Q5, X5, RDX, MKX, and Lexus using the base power train.
Your comment made realize how irrational and ridiculous most luxury car names are
Agreed. Someone is making a lot of money making up these acronyms. I want a piece of that.
Everything is becoming alphanumeric... where are all the real car names going?? Soon enough we are going to start announcing cars like serial numbers.
Dark Knight I love my compact SUV from Lexus but actually hate the name "NX200T". just furthers your point lol
Lawrence Braul you said mid-sized but these cars aren't mid-sized except the X5. These are compact.
Great review. Watched this and noticed this was filmed around my town lol.
i love it, especially in the Cardinal red with night package
the navigation screen still looks a bit awkward...
tnductai I honestly have never minded it . And now that I’ve owned the 2015 c300 I actually like it
The E and the S look 10x better...and they don't cost 10x more in price...once you leave the C, you will notice mercedes keeps all the better parts you can't see directly in the higher up models...It really makes a difference.
Miss that guy!
great review as always 👍👍will there be a v6 model coming beside the amg model?? thanks
5:38 "navigation linked to a 360° parking system"
Please tell me about that, it sounds intriguing.
looks way better than the glk350
I'd stick with base model since it's loaded with goodies all ready
Purchased one recently. Love it! I drive for no reason sometimes.
😂 stay home brother lol
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU
Informative , and HILARIOUS! :-D
Glad you like it! 😁
Hi, Thanks for this presentation. I've got the GLC diesel 220 2016. Can I expect to bring this up to 200,000 km?
I want this for the long run.
Such an amazing review thank youu so much guys.
Do you have any more specified videos about each one of them alone ?
Finnaly it came out
This is a commercial, not a review.
Just bought certified 2019 GLC300. The 2020 new look got that grill logo waaaay too big for me. 2019 is perfect.... apple carplay and nappa leather, that's all i need.
Where is the spare tire?? I was beginning to lose interest in the X3 due to lack of a spare
There is none. All tyres are run flat tyres.
Is the four cylinder engine under-powered? I figured it would be good enough to replace my Mazda CX-5 which is under-powered but didn't realize that GLC 300 is 500 lbs heavier than CX-5.
Can anyone tell me who will do the upgrade for the 360' camera (when sunshine on one side, then another side in shadow will be dark black) & the door opener is very weak, I have to buy a portable one to open the garage door. I am disappointed to my 2017 GLC 300.
Does the screen fold down
needs more hellcat
I want to lease this car should I do it?
Go for it!
Is this car better than the BMW X3?
Can I get this car with just premium speaker and the LED light? For about 45000 out the door?
Why do their SUVs have such awful looking infotainment screens?? And so small too...
I am sorry but those rear seats are not lay flat. we have an R class and those are lay flat. that little bend up over the back seats is not lay flat. lay flat came from minivans where you would get a flat deck. this cuv is not a lay flat deck.
also where in Napa do they make this leather? I live in Sonoma / Napa and there is no cows here for leather
+Evan Adams Napa leather is a very high-grade type of leather, it isn't made in Napa, California (but they do make some damn good grapes).
Also does anyone know which is more reliable BMW or Mercedes?
Shaun O'Neil mercedes has longer warrentys
Peder Hansen Audi is the 3rd most reliable brand, also Porsche is owned by Audi.
The review is great but the quality of the video doesn’t match
#KBB The Merc GLC or Volvo XC60??
The Mercedes-Benz GLC is KBB’s luxury SUV Best Buy for 2017. That’d be our pick, though we also really like the Volvo XC60.
Kelley Blue Book is there new model coming soon?this one is 2016
Look much better than GLE
Needs mike muzio
I noticed the careful avoidance on commenting about the very unmercedez like infotainment screen. I own GLC 300 2018, opted out to 57 k and I did not choose the upgrade to that touch pad-mouse thingy which gave me smaller screen with Garmin GPS and awesome Android Auto. the down side was the smaller screen....and man it is small....with 1 inch of black plastic boarders.....WTF Mercedes...this is a screen drivers watch all day...screens are cheap these day....why why why in 2018 when phone screens are almost 6 inches...l don't get it. I heard they can be upgraded with aftermarket parts but who wants to do that after u pay 60K after tax....????
anyway back to my point. these boys really avoided the draw backs of this GLC and there are some worth mentioning...which makes me think they might have sold out to Mercedez. Sorry its my hunch and opinion.
Lots of Pros for new GLC especially compared to competition but after driving this thing for 3 months here are the cons....which I am afraid is rarely mentioned in any reviews :
cons :
1. when u turn off car ignition, it goes to Neutral by default and u should never take ur foot off the breaks. so boys never hand keys to ur females for this car, especially if they will be parking downhill....cause she will not know why the car suddenly started to roll down the hill once she switchs the engine off !!! remind her to open the car door if car rolls down the hill, that will make it go to "Park" automatically.....cause she won't remember which small button to push among the 4 windshield-wiper-looking sticks at either sides of steering wheels....Seriously Mercedes WTF ?
2. this vehicle is unnecessarily tall. whose gonna take this for a mud bath ? anyone ? if anyone lives in snowy part of the country be prepared for the white road salts to be rubbed on ur pants every time u get in and out of this vehicle. Mercedes please learn how to prevent this from Volvo.... there is no shame in learning.
3. Automatic parking assist is a piece of.....I will stop at that. I was trying to get 360 degree birds eye view but had to pay almost 3 grand coz it only came with this shitty function. Reminded me of Time-warner selling me 100 channels that i do not watch , just to get HBO, back in the days.
4. When u push rare hatch button, the hatch does not go all the way down....u have to keep pushing till the end. Why why ?
5. This car feels wobbly in the turns....unless u go to sport + mode, wasting fuel.....again Mercedes plz lower this glorified hatchback. there is no point in making it so tall. u can individualize ur car setting true....then again it does not memorize the setting after u turn the car off.
6. and finally to the most obvious flaw as soon as u enter the car.....The tiny 8 inch (or is it 6 inch), barely high resolution, screen.....they should have made it edgless 12 inch screen for which I would have paid extra 500$ may be or they should have an option to turn any tablet into car screen via USB port or something.....That little screen is the one biggest thing in otherwise almost perfect cabin that reminds u that u r driving a C class... I am sure Mercedes wants u to crave for E or S class every time u drive. May be its a cast or shall I say class thing....the screen screams "you don't deserve it coz u only paid for C class"
It’s a C class that’s lifted! Omg
I've never seen $40k GLCs. Always between $50-60k for the 300 in my area.
Try looking now, just got an AMG for 40 on the nose
@@GeauxRilla A used one...
@@thesoundofthesuburbs welp. The vid is about a 2017 so yea. Mine had 38k miles
@@GeauxRilla My comment is from when I was shopping for a 2019. I ended up getting a 2019 Audi Q8 in May 2019.
Is this car still German even though it's made in Canada?
Of course, it's a German company and designed by german engineers. Most toyotas in USA are actually built in USA (we have 3-4 factories I think) but it's still Japanese. Just like several USA car companies sell cars not even available in the USA to foreign markets.
Soviet Democracy Ive rad that Mercedes is ranked around 21st in reliability and BMW about 11th. Do you know if BMW is a reliable car to get if its a 2016? Im thinking of buying one but I hear they break down easily then it cost thousands to repair. Thanks for the information. I think Mercedes is out for me.
If the 2018 Nissan Rogue had a bigger engine, and better suspension, it would almost equal the GLC
THIS IS NOT A SMALL SUV!!!
do you know if they come with apple car play?
+Christian Alarcón CarPlay and Android Auto are not currently offered on the GLC.
2017 models will have apple car play
+Kelley Blue Book lol my 4 cylinder 2016 colorado has apple play GG mercedez
You can get Apple play and wireless Bluetooth in a Buick Encore, isn't that sad? Mercedes is loosing to GM in technology and quality. Also 80% of this car is made in Canada. Lol
Christian Alarcón À
No it's not fast
Rather add 10k for the discover 4 anyday
The reviews just don't say anything about reliability of these cars given that they have to compete with other cars in the same category.
The cars are so overrated and expensive. 1/3 of the cost is for the 3 stars on the front. Looks good in the video. Please tell us about the faults so far with this vehicle.
Pass on this car.
Good call
the levante is much better then this !
Lexus design is always jarring. Lexus may be top in reliability but then it's still a fucking Toyota. It's trash. it's engine sucks. Lexus cars are not that exciting to drive.
hideously hideous with a little extra ugly. too bad the car it replaced the glk was pretty good
Lexus looks a lot better than this
Exterior is so boring, and interior is cramping.
SO ugly compared to the GLE.
Looks girly or so gay. Plus if you start adding the option it would be so close to GLE it's not worth it.
