2023 mercedes glc 300 4matic review năm 2024

While it shares its underpinnings with the C-class sedan, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class SUV serves a slightly different type of driver. The GLC300 is still fairly athletic, but if you're someone who values maximum driving fun, the C-class—or one of the AMG-tuned GLCs (reviewed separately)—is a better choice. What the GLC does best is cradle its occupants in a cabin outfitted with luxury features and plenty of tech, including an infotainment system with an 11.9-inch screen that rises upward from the center console in easy reach of the driver's right hand. All GLC300s are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower; a nine-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, but all-wheel drive is available as an option. The cargo bay behind the rear seats is more voluminous than what you'll get in the C-class, but the same could be said of many of the GLC's rivals, including the BMW X3, the Jaguar F-Pace, and the Volvo XC60. Still, the GLC's a well-rounded package that is worthy of a 2024 Editors' Choice award.

What's New for 2024?

The GLC-class was freshly redesigned just last year, so Mercedes-Benz has made only minor changes for 2024. SiriusXM satellite radio is now standard, and three new colors are available for the GLC's exterior: Moonlight White Metallic, Patagonia Red Metallic, and Graphite Grey Magno. A fastback GLC coupe and a high-performance AMG variant both launch this year, and both are reviewed separately.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class starts at $48,600 and goes up to $52,850 depending on the trim and options.

We'd go with the midrange Exclusive trim, which adds several niceties that are well worth the price increase. Those features include in-dash navigation, a 360-degree exterior camera system, a multicolor interior ambient lighting system, and a premium Burmester stereo system. The GLC comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available on all trims as an option.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

All 2024 GLC300s are powered by a smooth-running turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. A 48-volt hybrid system helps augment the powertrain, which is good for 255 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is rear-wheel drive, and Mercedes’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is optional. The all-wheel-drive GLC300 we tested hit 60 mph in a respectable 5.6 seconds, which is slightly quicker than the last BMW X3 xDrive30i we tested. The GLC's road manners, however, are less engaging than the BMW's, with a focus on smoothness and isolation rather than athleticism. The steering lacks feel, but when pitched into a corner, the Mercedes can come out the other side just fine; it just doesn't entertain in the same way some of its rivals do.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA estimates that the all-wheel-drive GLC-class will be good for 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, with the rear-wheel-drive model offering slightly better numbers at 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. When we get a chance, we’ll take the GLC300 on our 75-mph highway fuel economy test route and publish its results here. For more information about the GLC-class’s fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The GLC-class’s cabin wears nicely chosen upscale materials and a modernized design with more interestingly shaped air vents on the dashboard and heavily digitized control of the infotainment and HVAC systems. A new steering wheel features touch-sensitive control buttons, which didn’t work particularly well in the C300 sedan, and all models come standard with heated front seats with memory settings and adjustable lumbar support. Ambient lighting, a power-operated sunroof, and a power rear liftgate are also standard. Like other Mercedes models, the GLC-class can be heavily optioned with a host of luxurious features, including a panoramic sunroof, illuminated doorsill plates, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and leather upholstery.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Mirroring the offerings in the new C-class sedan, the GLC comes standard with Mercedes-Benz’s latest MBUX infotainment setup. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display relays important mechanical and speed information. An 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen swoops up from the center console and is canted ever so slightly toward the driver. The system can recognize voice commands and features standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In-dash navigation is optional, and it comes with an augmented reality feature that overlays directions via an image of the road ahead on the display. Other notable optional features include a head-up display and a Burmester premium stereo system. There are no physical buttons for the HVAC system, nor is there a knob for the audio volume; the systems are controlled through the touchscreen, which in our view is a step backward in user-friendliness.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The GLC-class will offer a host of optional driver-assistance features, but only basics such as automated emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring are standard. Going for the optional Driver Assistance package adds more advanced tech. For more information about the GLC-class’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Standard blind-spot monitoring
• Available adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Mercedes-Benz provides competitive warranty coverage compared with premium rivals. However, the German automaker doesn't offer the complimentary maintenance that BMW and Jaguar do.

• Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance
