2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Consumer Reviews
Pricing
IMO, the best German SUV
I drove the Audi Q5 & SQ5, and the BMW X3 30i & 40i, but liked the Mercedes GLC best. I did not drive the Porsche Macan as it was out of my budget range. To me, the GLC seems the best compromise of handling, comfort, and quiet. Lots of technology to adjust to, but it's not overwhelming. I think it would be nicer to have more of the simple. if old fashioned, buttons and dials. I don't see the need to have everything controlled by what looks like a large iPad mounted into the dash/console. We have the Pinnacle Pkg which includes the HUD, but the HUD doesn't display posted speed limits as I thought it would. We also have the LED Headlights but they no longer illuminate in the direction the car is turning like our 2017 did. A feature I was very unhappy to lose. We live in a neighborhood with no street lights and that feature was a real safety factor! The ride is improved, it's quieter, and it still has a nice interior, but it could be better.

Amazing SUV
Mine was manufactured 8/23 so I believe I missed all of the issues with it not starting, battery, etc that others have mentioned from the late spring/early summer reviews. This SUV is great on fuel, love the look inside and out, very responsive driving at all speeds. Amazing SUV!

2024 GLC 43 | Don't have high hopes
Vehicle has about 1500 miles and already nervous that it will turn into a lemon. Sold our Acura RDX for the GLC 43. The RDX we put 53k miles on and NOT ONE ISSUE. We change the oils, cabin filter, transmission service and one set of tires. We didn't even have to change the brakes in 53k miles! Don't know where to start. I will start by saying once up to speed the vehicle drives great. Vibration noise: when taking my foot off the brake say when the light turns green before hitting the gas I had a vibration noise you can hear in the cabin. Took it back and the salesman and they pulled it in to the shop and took some plastic covers and screwed them back on and the noise went away. Plastic ratting noise: after the car sits for at least two hours upon start up at idle there is a plastic flapping noise coming from the passenger front of the car. After driving the noise goes away but I can't imagine it's normal. The actual engine idles fine but there is a secondary noise. Acceleration: when we first took the car home the car had zero power when starting off and first gear in comfort mode. The dealership must've filled up the car with regular gas (87) The first time I put gas in the car I put 93 and the issue got a little bit better but still the vehicle lacks power when starting off in first gear. the fist few seconds starting out in fist gear it really lacks power and sometimes the transmission feels confused, shakes and bucks especially before the car is up to operation temperature even though the car is never actually cold because I live in South Florida. The lack of power actually gives me anxiety because I feel if I have to step on the gas to get out of a situation (like a car coming faster than expected) it really lacks power the first few seconds. Not sure if this is due to the hybrid system/electric turbos but all of this electrified stuff is new to me and I kind of wish I bought a vehicle without any type of hybrid system. Radio volume issue: The sound of the radio goes up when I speed up and goes down when we slow down. We have been through the vehicle Settings dozens of times in the last month and there is absolutely no way to turn this feature off. I have even called customer service and in their system it is showing several different options how to turn this feature off however this feature is not programmed into the infotainment system. Every time we come to a red light the volume goes down every time we start driving the volume goes up. There is absolutely no way to turn this off Even though customer services system shows there is. Seems like they forgot to program it into the system. I brought the car back to the dealer I bought the car from and the salesman can't even resolve the issue. If there is no software update and there's no feature that means I'm not gonna be able to turn this off ever so I'm stuck with a vehicle that the volume automatically goes up when I speed up and goes down when I slow down. I can't believe I'm saying this but I have a service appointment in a few days. It's amazing I just paid $70,000 for a vehicle and have to bring it in for service. I really hope that they don't charge me to look at the vehicle. Besides the issues I mentioned the card does drive well once it's going. Handles extremely well too I'm just not happy with the things mentioned
Just bought today
We just bought this suv today and love it so far. There is so much tech in it and I hope that will be reliable. It was $69,000 out the door. That’s more than I wanted to pay, but it seems like it’s worth it. There was no dealer mark up over MSRP, it’s fully loaded.
Own it for more than a year, fantastic car !
High quality interior, good infotainment, fuel efficient, comfortable ride and high acceleration. I love it ! Owned since July 2023.
