Well balanced car
No car is perfect universally because we have different needs. I have a 2018 model and just bought a 2021 for my wife. We have 2 almost identical cars because GLC300 fits our needs perfectly. I’m 6’ and have a kid 5’8”, another kid in a huge car seat, and GLC300 has enough room for our family of four. It’s fast enough for merging and taking over on highway and nimble on local roads, and if you’re not in a hurry it easily return gas mileage over 25 mpg and over 30 on highways. Some people also say their other brand cars are fast and nimble, what I mean here is a level above. I had a GLK 350 for 6 years and had no problems of any sort, and my 2018 GLC trouble free, too. So I would like to say GLC and its predecessor GLK are reliable. I researched almost every mainstream brand before invested in 2 GLCs, and found that 1) Toyotas are having 8-speed transmission problems and Hondas infotainment system problems and Subarus braking failures and GLCs and predecessor GLKs no big complaints and are not “money pit”. 2) outdoor price is MSRP, don’t over pay. If other brands carry equivalent equipments as GLC, they are most likely at the same price or even more. Buy prepaid maintenance and that will bring down the maintenance cost to $500/10k miles. You’re driving a luxury compact so it’s acceptable even it costs at most $300 more that a Toyota every 10k miles and GLC IS luxurious.

I waited 70 years to buy this vehicle
This is my first Mercedes and I m loving every mile I drive. This is truly an amazing vehicle. “Mercedes me”runs all the technology from my voice commands. All I have to do drive this fabulous vehicle. Comfortable, quiet smooth great sound system . I m blown away with all the features. I test drove all the competitors and this car was the best by far. After driving this car it would be very hard to go back to toyotas and Hondas. So impressed just enjoying the ride. Yes it’s more expensive than the average car but if you want to drive the best and can make the payments it’s a car u will love to drive everyday. I figured before I m looking up at daises it was time to take a shot and enjoy the fruit s of my labors. A very impressive car.

Flawless
I'm generally a picky consumer and don't often write reviews but felt compelled to share my thoughts here. I owned a C300 before moving to a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a year later, had to get out of it. Naturally, I went back to Mercedes and was between a GLC and GLE. Having a hefty year's depreciation on the Jeep (oops), the GLE was a stretch financially and really offered nothing more to me, so I went with a loaded GLC instead. The entire package is perfect, from the size, technology, engineering, and drive, and leaves zero to be desired. In this market, I paid full price, which I never have for a vehicle in the past. Even still, I feel it was worth every penny and makes me smile when I get behind the wheel. Skip cross-shopping and go straight to Mercedes!
2021 not as good as the 2018!
We have been driving MBs (E, C, SL, GLK, and GLC) since 1986, and always have been happy with our purchases. Looking at all the changes coming up in new cars, we didn't purchase in 2018, we leased a 2018 GLC for 3 years. We loved the car so much that we decided to lease the 2021 when the old lease expired. I don't know if it is because of the pandemic, chip shortage, or what, but this car is - to us - not as good as the 2018! Both cars were ordered with the AMG night package, specifically to get the oversize cross drilled front disk brakes - never cared about the plastic body trim modifications. The 2021 was advertised in the official order form we filled out at the dealership as having these brakes as part of the night package. Surprise - despite still being advertised at the dealership as having these oversize rotors and calipers, the 2021 came with the standard brakes. ALL the 2021 AMG/Night Packages for 2021 that we saw at the dealership dropped the oversize brakes, but kept the price as if they were included. Bait and switch - if your order form says something is included in the price, it should be there. Of course, the car arrived just as the lease ended on the 2018, so it was shut up and take it, or refuse it and pay $500 at the lease end on the 2018 for not leasing a new one. And MBUSA Leasing was a discourteous mess. After we had the new car, the kept calling us and saying we had missed the final payment on the 2018, had not turned in the car, and threatened our credit rating - despite our offering to send them copies of the paper work showing the turn-in date at the dealership and having made the first lease payment on the 2021!!! We had to threaten legal action if they messed up our credit rating before they would listen - It took a week to straighten out, with no apology or anything from MB Financial. And the surprises kept coming: The rear cargo area floor in 2018 was carpeted fiberglass(?) with a hold open hook and strap, and a foam insulation pad on the bottom, apparently to cut down noise. On the 2021 the strap, hook, and foam pad are missing - on ours, and on all the ones we looked at in dealerships. The 2018 had seat back release buttons on the rear door openings as well as in the cargo area - for 2021 they are missing from the door openings, replaced with a cheap plastic plug that does nothing. And the fuel economy is about 1-2 miles per gallon WORSE on the 2021 than on the 2018, for both hiway and city driving! If you never owned a 2018 GLC, you will love the 2021. If you did, you are going to notice the missing conveniences and essentials - at a higher cost. We ordered the 2021 with the Bermester stereo, and that has been a delight. We also ordered the front window noise insulation, and that seems to cut wind noise on the car. The 2021 seems to ride a bit smoother on all suspension settings than the 2018, maybe they changed tire brands? All told, we still like the car - just not as much as the 2018. But given the treatment by MBUSA financial, and the $2000+ AMG night package rip off in describing something on their order sheet that they never provided, after 35 + years of driving MBs, when this lease ends, so will our relationship with Mercedes.

Luxury is in the details
I’ve been spoiled by the smooth ride and responsive handling of this SUV. Having previously owned a 4Runner I can confidently say this Mercedes Benz GLC 300 4Matic exceeds in delivering a superb driving experience. The cargo area of the MB is a bit smaller than the former but is adequate for most of my needs. The interior is well appointed, the 4 cylinder turbo engine delivers exceptional speed and responsiveness, and the dealership customer service is astounding. I’m definitely happy with the vehicle.

Quality throughout
The seats are the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced. My wife and I shopped for comfortable seats due to the amount of miles we put on a vehicle. We’ve owned Honda’s, Toyota’s, Chevrolet, Buick, Ford and BMWs. None compare to this amazing vehicle. The tech is also off the hook. It’s the most technologically advanced car ever and the power is amazing. I can’t wait to drive it again.

2021 GLC 300 is a great suv but...
I just bought a 2021 GLC 300. Was told that due to lack of chips, the car did not have the MB navigation so I would have to use my Apple CarPlay with navigation. This means I have to plug my iphone into the port each and every time I get in and out of the car. The graphics are not as good as what I have seen from MB. Also, lacking many of the voice commands through Hey Mercedes again due to the chip shortage. All in all, the car rides beautifully and the seats are very comfortable. The engive seems a little loud but noise is minimal.

Love this car
My vehicle rides like a dream. What got my attention when I first saw the interior was that there are no knobs! The interior is smooth and steam lined. The seats are comfortable with 14 different positions. The 360 camera is wonderful. This vehicle has too many convenience to mention. This truly is a must-see vehicle

The GLC Experience
Cons: Transmission can be a bit lackadaisical in Comfort mode. Build quality inside could be better. I have some squeaks, creaks, and rubbing sounds and I only have 10k miles on it. Run-Flats - mess with ride quality Seats - I prefer the sportier seats that come with the AMG trim (had a C 300 with AMG trim so I’m aware of the difference) Pros: Looks, very nice interior Seats - I know, I know, but they are still fairly comfortable Tech, safety systems work very well, love the augmented reality navigation Sport & Sport + modes liven up the drive. HANDLING!!! This thing handles very well. Steering is very precise. Feels solid and planted. I’ve never been an SUV fan due to the uneasy feeling of the ride height in turns. I know they don’t roll as easy as they used to. However, I feel very confident driving this thing in turns. I would definitely consider another one when it’s time.

Perfection, 5 STAR Safety, Luxurious, Super Quiet!
Owned my GLC 300 4MATIC now for 24 months. This vehicle was way overpriced! The GLC300 4MATIC is worth 26,300 less than we paid for it. NOW it is underwater! We are stuck with this vehicle and can not trade it in!!! Never going to buy another Mercedes-Benz ever again!

Beautiful inside and out
This car is beautiful inside and out. The grill of this vehicle plus the 20 inch tires along with the black and silver rims give this vehicle a very sporty look. These were extra and not all these vehicles have that. The inside has a beautiful black leather interior. It has a sun roof for those nice sunny days. The seats have seat warmers for the cold ones! It has a feature for those long distance drives at night where high and low beams change automatically. You can change the lighting inside depending what mood you are in or want to be in. You can ask Mercedes to change the temp, change the station, call a loved one, etc. This vehicle drives like a dream, even through bad weather!

GREAT SUV/CAR..!!!
This is a great SUV. Very comfortable. Handles great. Good visibility all around. Good storage and room for luggage when travelling. Back seat is somewhat cramped for adults. Gas mileage is good (18-23+ mpg) but the engine requires premium fuel. Overall I am very happy with this SUV and glad I bought it.

A very smart, tech-loaded, comfy, sporty SUV
I love its very responsive handling, great acceleration, great seats and elegant interior. The styling is just perfect (for me), I have (and use) all the options, incl. the head-up display, intelligent headlights and advanced driver assist, but replaced the performance exhaust which is fun when you accelerate, but the noise bothered me during longer drives. The only thing I don't like too much are the run-flat tires which at 35/38 cold (40/43 hot) psi deliver a bit rough ride over uneven pavement. Otherwise, driving the car is a bliss!
So far so good
It has the appearance of an SUV but it’s not really that spacious if you compare it with let’s say Lexus RX 330 which I had previously. However, I love it because it’s not so big to drive around especially I’m always alone in my car. The interior is fantastic. Mileage is better than my previous car.
Fantastic SUV
After 1 year of ownership, this SUV has delivered a wonderful ownership experience. It has driven trouble free. The handling is superb. Although an air suspension option would make this vehicle perfect for both comfort and handling. The semi autonomous driving features included with the driver assistance package is far superior to other manufactures. A Lexus RX that I test drove bounces back and forth between the white road markings while the Benz holds the center perfectly. The only exception is on very windy days.. The worst SUV I drove with this feature was the MDX. Sprinting from 0 to 60 under 6 seconds is effortless. The seats are very comfortable on long drives and the 360 degree camera option makes parking super easy. I typically get 29 MPG on the highway. My overall MPG is 21. You wont be disappointed with this model.

Stick to the basics
The car itself is good. Good mechanically, and good quality. The driver assist functions are poor to downright dangerous - I’ve ended up turning most of them off where possible. The navigation has some cool features, but the maps behind them are not very accurate, and updating them is hard (not possible for me so far). The voice recognition is a joke - it doesn’t even recognize the word cancel.

GLC 300 SUV experience
This is my first MB (I originally was going for a BMW X3 or Cadillac XT5 or Lexus RX350 SUVs). I will say after visiting cadillac, lexus and bmw dealership, I fell in love with MB mainly because of the sleek interior design (dashboard controls, wooden trims and leather interiors). I must admit, I did not research much on this model before purchasing. I am finding out that lane assist features and automatic braking is absent in this model. On the positive side, the surround camera is great, ambient lighting features and the sunroof were great compliments. The early warning sometimes work but not all the time (I am still trying to find out why it doesn't other times). Though the early warning works, it would have been nice like i said earlier that the automatic braking system is in this model to prevent accident. The infomatics is one of the best compared to other make - I also like the BMW interior design, I just prefer the wooden trim design in MB.

2022 GLC drivers power seats
The car is 9 months old and the drivers seat power mechanism have failed. The dealer nicely replaced the fuse but after 10 days the power seat has failed again. This is my second trip to the deal in less than a month there are no loaners I work 16 hours days and I feel stuck. I have never had an issue like this with any mercedez in the past prior to Covid so is the quality less than before or what? I cant afford to take the car in every other week to have the fuse changed or not use my power seat in what world is that normal.

We call it zippy.
We purchased this car to satisfy our need to zip around town delivering kids to sporting events, clubs and other activities. We still wanted style and a smooth Mercedes ride without the big car. We used to believe we needed a huge SUV to make that happen but it simply isn't the case. We easily fit all of their sporting equipment into the back and running around is so much easier and more fun in a slightly smaller car. Feels like it will be a great Colorado ski car this winter too.

Nice vehicle features however noisy 4 cylinder eng
Great features but hear engine noise at cruising speed. Seats not comfortable. Overpriced!!
Go for Mercedes-Benz
I found really what meet my expectation, take decision today and Go for it!
Drives like a luxury car
The GLC drives like a luxury car with just enough space for two growing boys in the backseat. The interior finishes are beautiful. My only complaint is having to use a cord to connect an iPhone for Apple Car Play.

EXCEEDINGLY DISAPPOINTING
Unless you have your heart set on a vehicle with the MB name, you should look elsewhere for comparable or better technology and fuel economy at a much lower price. Touchscreen is difficult and finnicky to operate. Plastic used on various external components such as side mirror housings, brake lights, etc seems very thin and flimsy. Fuel economy is disappointing. Brakes often squeal when wet. Lacking practical feature of hands-free liftgate as a standard feature. Very sorry that mine didn't come with that from factory; told could not be installed aftermarket; only would have cost $100 from factory; yet they charge $500 for a superfluous lighted MB front grill star insignia! Vehicle is more show than substance. Vehicle is being leased. After only 4 months, can't wait for lease to end!

Surprising handling
First off, this is a small car. Not tiny, probably not good for a family of 4, but good for 2. Very adjustable seats, but not as comfortable as my Murano. Pretty quiet for a 4-banger. The biggest surprise was the handling, this thing really squats down in the corners and gives you a really confident feeling. A bit cramped up front, it has good cupholders but when they're in use there's no room for phones. Only one USB. Nearly worthless touchpad, but there are plenty of other ways to control the vehicle. The voice control system works pretty well.

To new for comment
So far so good, only been a week but when I was told a 2023 Honda CRV Touring was $45K I started looking at other vehicles. This car was $49k and its a Benz with more features than the honda. Getting 24mpg around town is great for 255hp, and lets not forget no CVT. (9 speed auto)
almost a great suv,BUT
This is a really great compact suv, make sure you get the driver assistance package. This adds the best features to the car. Make sure you have the navigation, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and heads up display, 360* surround view for the most enjoyable experience. Don't how ever expect the same build quality in the RWD base model as you might get in the AMG, E class or S class. Mine has a very poor alignment of the hood. makes front grill look way off as far as the oval look and hood sticks out in the front. Took back asked that it be aligned, was told this was to Mercedes spec. My Hyundai has better panel alignment of hood and body panels. Not really a Mercedes quality build

GLC 43 AMG. transmission is bad
I test drove it yesterday. When I accelerated up a ramp to 80 mph then let go of the gas to coast, weird why it took a while before the rpm dropped. Hard acceleration 0-30 mph but it couldn't figure out which gear to be in. Turbo lag under hard acceleration.

2021 amg43 glc
Hard riding vehicle even in comfort mode, transmission shifts hard and lurches, cruise control randomly stops working when on highway (safety issue), high depreciation, similar to a Maserati, car doesn’t always start in cold weather, been towed 3 times and battery replaced. Still under new car warranty and Mercedes can’t figure out issue. Less than 30,000 miles. Not a sport luxury just a bad vehicle.

Very nice, little luxurious SUV
I've only had my car for half a year, but so far, I love this car! I bought my 2021 Mercedes GLC in April and was immediately impressed with the quality of this car. I had to take a minute to admire this car before driving it. It came with such cool features. The interior ambient lighting is such a nice touch and the emblem lights up at night! That I didn't expect, so cool. The interior is a high-quality place to be. The overall interior ambiance is amazing. The panels line up correctly, the materials feel class-appropriate and the sound system is one of the best I've ever had in a car. I have the Burmester sound system and it is worth every penny. I always look forward to every trip I take in my vehicle. The GLC is a delightful car to drive and be in. It's an awesome car to be in. Solid, quiet, and confident.
