Overview

Written by automotive expert Josh Jacquot

Updated: 10/24/2023

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.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

8.0

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

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.

Technology

8.5/10

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.

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class trim level differences

The 2024 GLC is offered in the GLC 300 and AMG GLC 43, with each distinguished by its powertrain. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the base GLC 300 produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque; rear-wheel drive is standard, though you can get all-wheel drive by opting for the 4Matic version. The AMG GLC 43 employs a high-performance version of this powertrain — making 416 hp and 369 lb-ft — and comes standard with AWD. Both engines utilize a 48-volt mild hybrid system and are matched to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Compare the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class trim levels in-depth.

Which GLC-Class trim 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.

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 spotlight: New AMG trim

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.

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A)

I ordered a GLC 2024 in Jan. The keyless function won’t work from the first day. After a month lots of warning shown on the display ( active brake assist unavailble, change assist irresponsible, etc) and they had to replace the Parktronic component. This seems to me inadmisibile for Mercedes: after 1 month a brand new car to have such major issues.

I traded my 2021 GLC 300 for the 2024 model. The ‘21 front seats were very comfortable, not in the ‘24 model. Also Mercedes really needs to step up to competitors in safety features - they unreasonably and significantly increase the price and safety features are standard in so many less expensive vehicles. The ‘24 model does have some great updates since ‘21, including the placement of …
