What's new
New AMG 43 performance model adds spice to the GLC lineup
Part of the second GLC generation introduced for 2023
Overview
The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz GLC debuted last year with only one trim level, the GLC 300. For 2024 the GLC 300 sees only minor changes but Mercedes added a performance version in the form of the AMG GLC 43. For most buyers the base GLC 300 is the right choice. It comes with a 255-hp four cylinder engine that uses a mild hybrid system to improve fuel efficiency and drivability. It's available in rear- or all-wheel drive and is offered in two trims (Exclusive and Pinnacle) with a handful of stand-alone options to add features.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.89 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.
The new-for-2024 AMG GLC 43 trim seems awesome. Like the base GLC, the AMG version uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine but with a significant power boost. The result for the AMG GLC 43 is 416 horsepower — good, Mercedes says, for a zero to 60 mph time of 4.7 seconds. A similarly configured GLC 300 4Matic (Mercedes-speak for all-wheel drive) completed the 0-60 run in 6.1 seconds in Edmunds' testing.
Competitors to consider
The 2024 GLC 300 competes with other luxury SUVs from around the world, including Germany, Japan and South Korea. The best competitors include the BMW X3, Genesis GV70 and Volvo XC60. Check out our Expert Rating below to explore all of the GLCs strengths and weaknesses.

edmunds TESTED
The GLC is one of our favorite small luxury SUVs. It offers smooth and efficient power, a classy interior, and plenty of helpful technology features. The latest GLC has also gotten more expensive, however, and some other competing SUVs provide better value.
How does the GLC-Class drive? We tested the GLC 300 that has a four-cylinder engine and a mild hybrid system. It provides impressively smooth acceleration, and the automatic transmission shifts quickly and responsively. At Edmunds' test track, our GLC test vehicle accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, which is an average time for a small luxury SUV with a base engine. Bringing that speed to a halt are strong, confident brakes that are equally excellent performing at max effort as they are smooth and easy to use.
The optional summer tires that our test GLC came with definitely played an integral part in both the GLC's impressive braking and cornering grip. But even without the help of that extra tire grip, the GLC is a well-tuned machine that is able to maintain composure around turns with a natural athleticism. The steering is easy but not effortless, and it affords a nice blend of letting you feel connected to the road without unnecessary heft. We know that we wax a bit poetic here, but just take a drive and you'll see what we mean.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the GLC-Class? The GLC provides enough comfort to satisfy luxury-class expectations. It rides smoothly over most bumps, and the cabin is very quiet. We were less fond of the front seats, however. The cushions are firm and supportive but there's nothing about them that really goes above and beyond. The climate control delivers excellent coverage through well-placed vents and has ample cooling capacity.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The GLC's cabin is aesthetically pleasing and accommodating. While it doesn't separate itself quite as much as it once did from the class, the usual hallmarks of a Mercedes interior are here. The MBUX user interface is one of the better touchscreen-based interfaces out there, though finding exactly what you need can sometimes require diving deep into the menus. The steering wheel's touch-sensitive controls can also require more concentration to operate than traditional buttons and knobs.
The rest of the cabin is nicely executed. There are plenty of seat adjustments to match drivers of almost all sizes, and large windows and properly positioned mirrors enhance outward visibility. Big door openings also make it easy to get in and out. Though the second row is a decent size, some rivals offer a reclining second-row bench that adds a sense of space and extra degree of comfort missing in the GLC.

How’s the tech? One of the areas that Mercedes-Benz continues to lead the field in is technology. Our test GLC had the Burmester sound system, and we found that it produces an impressive auditory experience. The onboard navigation system, enhanced with augmented reality for confusion-free turn-by-turn directions, is also one of few that can rival popular smartphone apps. If you prefer to leverage your smartphone's nav apps, Mercedes-Benz has one of the best wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations we've seen to date. It offers a generous layout of 15 apps per screen so you're not having to constantly swipe to access your favorite ones.
Our test GLC had six USB-C ports on board, so everyone's devices can get some juice at the same time. There's also a wireless charger tucked away in the center console, which is nice to have but a bit cumbersome to access, especially if you have drinks in the cupholders. Although others have certainly caught up, Mercedes' voice recognition is still one of the most functional in the industry, and not only for the endless supply of "dad jokes" it can throw at you on command.
The GLC's advanced driving aids provide excellent assistance in most scenarios. We found the adaptive cruise control to be a little jerky at times, so if you have sensitive passengers on board, you may want to refrain from using it. But everything else from the lane keeping assistance to blind-spot warning performs as expected.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? Among the few spots that the previous GLC fell short of expectations were cargo space and interior storage. Mercedes-Benz has improved in both areas this year even if only modestly. Interior storage still feels a bit sparse, and the use of available space isn't nearly as clever as we've found in some of the GLC's competitors.
The GLC's official cargo capacity behind the rear seats (21.9 cubic feet) is below average, though in our testing we found the GLC to be pretty useful in real-world scenarios. The Benz features convenient folding 40/20/40-split rear seatbacks that can be lowered nearly flat with the touch of a button in the cargo area. And if you have car seats to install, the Isofix anchors and top tether anchors are pretty easy to access. Large rear-facing seats may be a small squeeze behind an occupied front seat, but this is the case with most vehicles in this class.

Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? We tested the GLC 300 4Matic, and it gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined in city/highway driving. That's 2-3 mpg better than most equivalent SUVs. We also achieved an impressive 27.9 mpg on our standardized test route, which is an indication to us that the EPA numbers should be accurate.
Value
7.5/10
Is the GLC-Class a good value? The great thing about most of the new small Mercedes-Benz models is you don't feel like you're getting a cheaper product — you're simply getting a smaller version of its larger flagship vehicles. This holds true for the GLC, which feels classy and solid through and through. Unfortunately you pay for that solid build quality and true luxury experience. The Mercedes is one of the more pricey models across the board, so if you're a value-driven shopper, you may be better served elsewhere.
Mercedes' warranty also continues to lag the rest of the class. The basic and powertrain warranty runs for four years/50,00 miles, and roadside assistance is provided for that duration as well. No free scheduled maintenance is included.
Wildcard
7.5/10
Designed for understatement is something we've come to expect from Mercedes-Benz. The GLC's styling is clean and classic Mercedes and doesn't break any new ground. That may be fine for some, but we like to think there's greater glory to be won when a little more risk is taken, and this is about as safe and small a step as one can take. This might be forgiven if the GLC overdelivered with fun behind the wheel, but it doesn't. It's perfectly lovely, pleasant and easy to drive every day. Wholly competent. But for this kind of money, we'd want a little more spice in our life.
Which GLC-Class does Edmunds recommend?
For most buyers the standard GLC 300, which is available with rear- or all-wheel drive, is the right choice. We also think adding the Exclusive package (premium sound system, surround-view camera, navigation) is worth it on the base model. The AMG version isn't strictly necessary unless you have a true need for speed.

I bought in July 2023 a 2023 GLC 300 4Matic with Pinnacle Trim, AMG line w/ night package, Driver Assistance package, and Panoramic roof. I was relatively happy driving it for a few days until a whining sound started to be very noticeable in the 7th & 8th gears. I bought it back to the dealership and the technician was very good in his preliminary diagnosis that it could be coming from … the rear differential. His initial diagnosis was confirmed when they had it closely examined at the shop. Very disappointing for a brand new luxury car and a Mercedes Benz at that. They ordered a replacement rear differential from Germany. The car was in the shop for about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the whining sound is still there albeit not as loud as before but it also now shows at the 4th gear in addition to the 7th & 8th gears. There are also other things that I am not happy with: (1) wireless charger does not always work; (2) camera mode comes on at traffic lights taking over the screen; not good if you are using the navigation; (3) camera makes a loud opening or closing sound even if the camera is not needed (according to the technician it was designed by MBenz as such possibly to prevent it from freezing during winter; but it is summer at this time); (4) Panoramic roof does not have a solid inside cover. Sunlight filters in through the woven inside cover; (5) The wiper movement is not smooth. It is jerky. There were also 2 instances where I got a message that the 12V battery needs charging (this happens on a brand new car?). The car has a lot of "bells & whistles", which is probably good, or bad if they are not all working properly. The ride, however, is luxurious and quiet. I noted that there is a little lag on acceleration, and there is no notable difference between comfort and sport modes.
This was my first Mercedes as I have been driving BMWs for 15 years. I probably should not have traded in my 2019 BMW X3. I wanted a newer car and unfortunately because of the semi-conductor supply issues some options that I had in my 2019 BMW X3 were not available in the 2023 model. I should have waited for the 2024 X3 model in case they would all be available by then.
Update: 3/12/2024
I have had 4 instances where the car does not start. Different warning signs keep on flashing (12V On board electrical system service required; service required, do not change transmission position; active parking assist & parktronic in operative; active blind spot assist inoperative; active brake assist functions currently limited). The car cannot be locked at this stage. I had to wait for some time (30 minutes to 1-3 hrs.) before the car eventually was able to start. The car dealership cannot seem to find the cause. They informed me on 2/1/2024 when the car was last checked that a system update was in development but to-date there is no news on this. There is also a recall on this model involving the fuse box that needs to be replaced (in which systems might become inoperable, the car might lose propulsion without warning, or the instrument cluster might be impaired increasing the risk of crash & injuries; also the risk of fire cannot be ruled out).
As previously mentioned, the rear differential was replaced, but the whining sound is now again getting louder and prominent in more number of gears.
I have never owned or leased a car where I have experienced so many issues and inconveniences. For a brand new and luxury brand at that, it is a huge mistake, disappointment, and regret as to why I ever switched brand from BMW. Stay away from this car.
Owned a 2016 for 4 years loved it. Only issue tire wear. So just purchased new 2023 glc. Drove one week loved it until wouldn’t turn over. Warnings on display 12 volt system needs repair. Every other warning came up also. Couldn’t get out of park to neutral to load it on flat bed. Finally got it to the Mercedes dealership in ft. Pierce Florida, has had the car for 3 days now and they … have no idea what is the problem. Purchased my first Mercedes in 1973. Never had this kind of issue. Could this be computer board software related? Had to check box mild hybrid, it is not
Update: service had for one week. Had to consult with an engineer don’t know from what country.Conclusion the battery was not grounded properly. Had to upgrade software also. Hope this problem has been put to bed.
I traded in my 2016 Lincoln MKX, which I absolutely loved, for a new GLC, mainly because I wanted better gas mileage than the 21MPG I was getting with the MKX. That was two months ago and I've put less than 1K miles on the GLC since I purchased it, so this review is based on that limited experience. Overall, I've been pleased with the GLC, although it has taken time to adjust to its … quirks. I read lots of bad reviews from other buyers, so I was a little hesitant to make the purchase, but I figured the new car warranty will cover any defects, at least for the first four years. I purchased the GLC over its rivals for four primary reasons: 1. I had never owned a Mercedes, and at 62 years old, I figured it's about time. 2. The $57K sticker price was similar to other cars I had tested, including a Kia Sorrento plug-in hybrid and a Mazda CX-90 PHEV. 3. After three test drives in the GLC, I really liked the comfort, the size and the elegant look, inside and out. 4, The GLC had a higher EPA rating than any of its rivals. And, that's where I'll start. So far, I've been averaging over 30MPG, which is outstanding, and much higher than the EPA rating of 26MPG combined. I normally drive in ECO mode and keep my speed under 70MPH. On a recent two-hour drive, I was actually getting 37MPG! The GLC uses a mild hybrid system that works smoothly and efficiently. You can take your foot off the accelerator and the hybrid system will let the car coast at a steady speed, which happens smoothly and quietly. The overall stop/start system is refined and unobtrusive, simply one of the best I've ever experienced. The seat comfort and driving position are also top-notch. Despite the compact size, there's plenty of elbow, leg and head room in the GLC. Another highlight is the Burmester sound system, which is impressive in its rich sound and dynamic range. The dash displays are colorful and vivid with distinct markings, and are visually appealing. The ambient lighting is beautiful and highly customizable, but mine is supposed to have the "enhanced" version (the Exclusive trim) but it was deleted, probably due to a chip issue. That's a bit of a bummer. So, there's a lot I like about the GLC. As for dislikes, the first one I'll mention is the coarse-sounding engine. It actually sounds like a diesel at idle from the outside, although it's very quiet inside. It will probably prove to be a great engine, but it sounds loud and unrefined. The interior is mostly beautiful, but there is lots of cheap looking black plastic, which is a shame in an otherwise gorgeous interior. My biggest complaint is with the easy entry/exit system. On any other vehicle I've owned with this feature, the seat powers back when the engine is turned off and/or the driver's door is opened. Not on the Mercedes. I'm 5'8", so I have the seat somewhat close to the steering wheel. When the easy entry/exit system is activated, the seat actually moves forward a few inches, rather than rearward. I thought it was faulty, but when I consulted the owner's manual, it said the car will determine whether the seat should be moved forward or rearward based on where it is located on the track. The reasoning is that someone sitting in the rear seat behind the driver might be injured if the driver's seat were to move back and impede their space. I know, dumb, right? It's very annoying not to be able to use that feature. The only other somewhat negative I'll mention is that there isn't any special lighting when approaching the car at night. My Lincoln had a "welcome" lighting feature that was pretty and elegant. There are definitely features about the Lincoln that I miss. But, with time, I'm growing fonder of the GLC.
05/31/24 Update: After 10 months of ownership, and 5,300 miles, I sold the GLC to a local dealership. I really liked the GLC, but I didn't love it. Some of its quirks were maddening, such as trying to master the volume control. There are two "touch pads" to control the volume and I could never figure out how to adjust it by a small degree. It's a poorly designed control. Also, I found myself accidentally engaging the touch controls on the steering wheel quite frequently. I also didn't like the fact that you could hear the rear camera activating (it's hidden until it's activated) when slowing down or when at a stop. It was kind of annoying. Otherwise, the car was nice. I never had any serious problems with it, although it did have three recalls during that 10 month period. But, the services were covered under warranty and the dealer always provided a nice loaner car. I stand by my initial review. The car was very comfortable, quiet, and fuel-efficient, with a phenomenal sound system! Overall, owning the GLC was a good experience, but I don't think I would buy another Mercedes anytime soon, at least until they improve the controls.
I bought this car on April 26 and on the third day it died. Lights flashing, alarms going off. Called my salesperson and I agreed to leave it for an hour-well-it started right up. Then 10 days later-it wouldn’t stop with the warnings and lights and I called for a tow truck. 3 hours later-all the lights and warnings were still going off. Tow truck driver arrived at 1130 and had to jump … start the car to get it out of the garage. They had my car for 8 days and I got it back on a Thursday evening. Friday when I went to leave work. All the lights and warnings came on again. Couldn’t do anything with the car. After an hour of waiting for the tow truck, k started it and it was fine. I drove it to the dealer and they have had it for 2 weeks low. I have been without my brand new car for 32 days and counting. I have asked the dealership and MBUSA for a refund. They keep pushing back asking me to be patient. Frustrated for sure!!
Update, dealer gave me a full refund and yes, I purchased another one. I love the car!
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, so we've included reviews for other years of the GLC-Class since its last redesign.
All-New 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 vs. 2022 Genesis GV70 | Small Size, Big Luxury
NOTE: This video is about the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, but since the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
The small luxury SUV segment is one of the most highly competitive in the automotive industry, with big sales and bigger profits. The Mercedes-Benz GLC was once our go-to choice — until the Genesis GV70 swooped in and stole the crown upon its introduction for the 2022 model year. But now the GLC is new and improved, getting a full redesign for 2023 that includes Benz’s… latest luxury accoutrements and high-tech features. But are the changes enough to unseat the very excellent GV70 from the small luxury SUV throne? Find out with Edmunds’ Alistair Weaver in our comparison test above!
The GV70 ranks high on our list of small luxury SUVs for its powerful and flexible powertrains, ample features and solid value. It starts at a lower base price than the GLC 300 and offers more power in its base trim and a better warranty. All-wheel drive is standard on the GV70 as is the feeling of pride you'll get for knowing that you bought an SUV with most of the luxury, performance and tech you'll find elsewhere at a lower cost. Did we mention that it also has more cargo room behind the rear seats than the GLC?
Available in front- and all-wheel drive, the RDX represents a lower tier of luxury than the GLC. It's upscale, sure, but it lacks the posh, highly finished interior trim that makes the GLC one of the top luxury contenders. The RDX offers more power from its four-cylinder than the GLC does in base trim, but that is the only engine available. Perhaps the RDX's biggest strength is that, like all vehicles from Honda, it uses its space well. And it exceeds the GLC's interior storage space behind the rear seats by about 9 cubic feet. That's a difference that matters.
The subtle appeal of BMW's X3 is more evident the more time you spend in it. Certainly it's not flashy — a spartan, if clean and well-executed interior is evident. But it lacks the visual theater that's on display everywhere in the GLC. The X3 is about the same size as the GLC inside. And it comes with a base engine — a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder — that's similar in power to the Benz's base engine. A more powerful turbocharged inline-six is also available. All-wheel drive is available with both engines. The X3 might be the competitor that's most like the GLC, so give it a look if you're interested in a different flavor German SUV.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a small luxury SUV and it sits squarely in the middle of the German automaker's ever-growing SUV lineup. The GLC is one of the oldest vehicles in its class, though a slight refresh for the 2023 model year brought some much-needed updates for Mercedes' best-selling model. Major changes include the latest iteration of Mercedes' excellent MBUX infotainment system, a wider array of available driver aids, and some slight design tweaks that improved aerodynamic efficiency. Another big change was under the hood, as the GLC now comes standard with a new four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. It should improve both performance and efficiency, a win-win in our eyes.
Given all of last year's changes, we don't expect any major updates for 2024. The updates helped put it back in contention in a very, very competitive class. Nearly every luxury automaker offers at least one vehicle that competes against the GLC, and some of Edmunds' favorites are the Genesis GV70, Acura RDX, BMW X3 and the Lexus NX. If you need a bit more space than what the GLC offers, Mercedes has you covered with the GLE. And if you like the GLC's size but need more passenger space, the three-row Mercedes GLB is worth a look.
Edmunds says
The GLC isn't expected to get any major changes for 2024, but a recent round of updates should keep this solid luxury SUV feeling fresh for a few more years.
