I've only discovered the channel recently. I have to say the reviews are the best I've come across on youtube. Thomas has a real eye for detail and design, and an extra bonus is his voice is like velvet.
Most welcome 🤗
This is the best car channel. Especially when Thomas presents.

Always go for lighter colored seats, white, ivory or beige/cognac because they bring to life the space inside of the car and it also helps with claustrophobia if you have one. I always feel less tired after driving a car with lighter seats compared to dark seats. Dark seats also absorb 100 percent of solar infrared radiation (heat)💥
But they get dirty too easily, also really bad for kids and their messes 💀 I do understand the point of making it seem more lively tho. Maybe a nice light brown
@@preoksaha4504 Yes, cleaning them once in a while a must. Ivory and beige are the best in terms of resistance to coloring compared to white
Your videos are great thanks for doing this for us all for so long!!!
And by the way those people they were making fun of you they’re jealous😊
thanks Michael =)
Another great video Thomas. Your channel is one of the best car reviewers out there. Well done and thank you. 👍
Thanks please recommend 😎
Really enjoying this content on the channel keep up the good work everyone 👍👍👍
highly appreciated!
Your presentations are always pleasurable!
Highly appreciated! Please recommend 😎
Hey Thomas, as always needless to say, one of the best channels for the in-depth reviews especially for the german cars. Are you planning an in depth review of the GLC 300 de (plugin hybrid) ? I have some questions and if you find them worth, it will be nice to get some info on them
1) Mileage: whats the fuel consumption of 300 de when the battery is empty OR in battery hold mode
2) is it possible to replace the individual modules of the battery or a full replacement is the only option (after the battery warranty has expired)
3) 4MATIC behaviour: is it always fixed i.e. 45/55% OR it is dynamic (e.g. due to the plugin hybrid with offroad package)
Thomas looks sharp, as usual.
Great car, great review.
🙌🙌🙌
I believe this is the best review ever made for the GLC it was quite insightful thanks a lot
Cheers m8
Was looking forward to this review!
enjoy =)
Thomas so much appreciate the German lesson . Back to your best .. cheers for all your hard work ❤
Highly appreciated 👍
Great stuff as always. You should do a compilation of Thomas’s verbal fights with the onboard assistants it would be fun to watch :)
😂
I love how you index your videos even better than a college level textbook!
I love mercedes-- but I wish they made adaptive cruise and lane centering tech standard on their vehicles. With these entry level GLCs, it is a challenge to locate one with that tech!
Fantastic review of a fantastic redesign!
Thanks 🙏
I think the air vents above the center screen "look crooked" up close because they tilted it towards the driver seat, so when looking at it from the driver's perspective they look more in line
I enjoyed watching the Video Review 😊. I would choose Black Leather Seats. The styling looks great 👍 as well
I like red interiors, sometimes, especially if the outside is boring color like white, silver, grey, the color inside really helps make car more interesting. but I would like more darker cherry red, and textured leather, this looks too bright and too smooth, just looks a bit weird. but my all time favorite would probably be like bmw marina bay blue exterior with tartufo brown/black two tone interior.
The offroad see through camera looks interesting
I agree with seats comfort and ergonomics. Standard seats in my GLK were better and comfier than in my 2020 GLC
Great review! Loving this new version.
👍👍
Back looks clean, front end looks a bit fussy in my opinion. Great video as always!
cheers!
I liked this video for your clothing choices. I did the same with my old blue car with brown seats - I wore blue top, brown trousers 😁
As for that Merc, exterior looks great, but I can't get used to the interior it looks futuristic but it's a bit over-done for me. I like the instrument display and the reversing camera is great. Also I found the rear cabin too cramped on all the lower Mercedes models A to C.
One note on your filming quality, I often found the video to be too dark and perhaps needs contrast and/or exposure adjustment.
=)
Cheers!
It's winter atm heh
I have a GLC and I can guarantee that there is a ton of room behind on the backseats and it’s so confortable. But I don’t like the interior of the new Glc I don’t know what happened 😂
@@autogefuehl what brand of glasses are you wearing?
Hey Thomas, will your review the GLC 450d please? Thank you!
Team red seats. Have always loved them since my dad's first edition Boxster MANY years back, which had silver outside and red leather inside.
Hey Thomas, would you be able to do a review and/or comparison between Mercedes GLC 300de (previous(facelift) and new model). Thanks in advance 🙂 No reviewer has reviewed the diesel hybrid models.
Excellent camera lens. Is it Sony or Hasselblad?
Are the front wheels still juddering when turning on full lock?
Great review 👍 They should have kept the previous steering wheel buttons. It was more intuitive and easy to use.
Thanks keep tuning in!
Good video.
220d and 300d mhev are both available in my country. Is the 300d worth the upgrade? Thank you!
Dear mr. Thomas, great review again. Thank you for showing the turning wheel radius. I think it's below 400° to each side.
You've a nice variety of outfits. Sometimes I saw you in a business suit. I often used to wear a shiny dark blue jacket for my dark blue car.
Cheers m8!
Thank you👍 great review, INDEED! 😉
🙌🙌🙌
"I'm just happy where I am." 😆
Hey is rear wheel steering only in your country? Because I just bought the fully loaded no options spared glc300 in Canada and there's no rear wheel steering, called the dealer up and they said glcs don't have rear wheel steering.
Patiently waiting for your a class review
czcams.com/video/NyYV0gX3El4/video.html
I thought there was a new model facelift, no worries
Very good vidéo 👍
highly appreciated! Feel free to recommend our channel :-)
This one is top!
Türkiyeden selamlar. Bu işte çok iyisin.
Tessekur!
Hi THomas "here". I do like your reviews "here". And been following you for some time "here". But this is the first time I made a comment "here". Please don't take it in a wrong way "here" but I just could not notice how many time you said "here" So I couldn't help myself "here" and counted them all "here". In TOTAL "here" you said "HERE" in this video 90 times. It was very funny and now I can't unhear it...This is now can be added as Thomas "here" beside Thomas "blue"...LOL
Great to see you here! And stay here of course, please.
I also reviewed the Mercedes GLC in my channel, and I must say that Mercedes has done a great job with the GLC, far more interesting than the EQ classes!
At 24:53 the navigation display made a 360 spin. Why?
Tanks
Does it rattle?
nice car
White and Red very good match....
Why my 2024 don’t have light inside the air vents?
Unfortunately I doubt we'll see the PHEV here in the US. I've read that it has better than a 50 mile EV range. So sad we don't get nice things.
Thomas now you know the air suspension is same as S-class do you still feel it is not special? Or is just the coupe that has the same air suspension as S class?
My clothes often match my car.... when it's dirty c",)
Good test of the Mercedes. An old test of yours helped me choose the VW Touran in 2017.
Thanks - You do it very well .
Thanks 🙏
When will u do the coupe version on glucose an when will it be released
Soon more news to that!
can u test cars in nürburgring ?
Does AWD use more fuel than a 2WD?
I'm waiting for the full AMG coupe!
Soon more here!
ONLY THE BEST !
Esta bonito
Is it reliable?
When is the GLC 43 coupe’s is coming out?
Keeping u updated, soon more to the coupe here!
I want to see Coupe version of this GLC soon
We will show you soon!
As ever a meticulous review.
What I liked about what I saw was the engineering excellence, especially adaptive suspension and four wheel steering. I also love the visual impact of the interior and bold use of colour and materials. I am sure this is a wonderful car, and by the way I am unsure why I would need one of the super luxury cars recently reviewed by Thomas instead. My contention is that super luxury is now more about brand exclusivity than actual luxury.
I have driven German cars for most of the last thirty years since the mid 1990s. When I came towards replacing my last Audi RS3 I started to look at EVs. Then an accident occurred and I was unable to drive for the last part of 2021 and the first half of 2022. I used the time to look at EVs in some detail. Meanwhile my other half has confined me to a Ford B Max…. It really is as dreadful as you can imagine.
I looked first at Audi EVs being a creature of habit. At the time there was some version of an Audi E Tron. What it looked like to me was as if Audi were trying to make the transition from the horse drawn carriage to the early motor car. Sure it was a horseless carriage, but it was still a carriage. Then I heard more about VW/Audi’s struggle with software and I started to look at Mercedes and BMW. What I found is that I really do not like the design decisions all three big German marques have taken about interiors, UI/UX, and over complication.
So to get back to the Merc here, the deal breakers for me are the fake button controls, the glossy but impractical surfaces, the over complicated software, and the general feeling that more is less. I simply would not buy this car or its EV near relatives on these grounds alone. I have instead looked at Japan. I like what Nissan have done with their Ariya from the bottom of their range on up. But I found my eventual home with the Mazda CX60.
I think the transition to EVs is already and further going to change people’s perceptions of who makes a good car.
Thanks for the feedback 😎
A luxury SUV with characteristics of both a coupe and an SUV is the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. It has a variety of engine options, including diesel and gasoline engines, as well as the choice of a hybrid powertrain. The car's interior is roomy and equipped with high-end materials and cutting-edge technology, including the MBUX infotainment system, cutting-edge driver assistance systems, and cutting-edge safety measures. There are several trims of the GLC 300, each with a different level of luxury and amenities.
Thank you for the excellent and thoroughly informative review as per usual Thomas. Mercedes disappoints with no V6 or V8 petrol models for the GLC. These guys at Mercedes just do not seem to be able to read the market.
thanks m8 !
Would love to hear from actual owners from late model Mercedes GLC 300 4MATIC SUV.
The GLC Coupe models and the AMG GLC 43 models are ridiculously and unfairly priced too high for me to be interested.
Is this a worthwhile model to buy? Or pass it up and run away?
There are people who have taste, and then there are people who like red seats.
This car is one of the best mid luxury SUV's out there, priced a bit higher with all the great technology and looks which justify it's higher price.
I heard there'll be a 6 cylinder diesel. Is that true? It's a mistake not having 6 and 8 cylinder options here.
see engine part !
When will it b out no one in my nest car dealers has it n what till the cost b
This thing looks even better than the eqc
"Here's a side step. It not only helps with styling but also helps with aerodynamics..."
Ok, fine, but can I use it as a step? :)
contacted at least 6 Mercedes dealers near me. All are telling me delivery isn't expected until September at the earliest. I'm in the US. :( Too bad I can't wait that long. :(
No update on the AMG'S version yet ?
I don't want a car with: Red seats; stupid ambient light; no physical buttons; an iPad that dominates the interior. I guess I won't be buying a Mercedes any time soon, nor a Tesla. PS: I am also a bit tired of 2 liter turbo charged 4 cylinder engines ...
The interior of the previous GLC is way more luxurious and the seats are more confortable
Can GLC 300 be purchased without the off-road features? Most people want GLC for its extra space (compared to its sedan version) and higher driving position and not for taking it off road.
Which ones u mean?
@@autogefuehl Like, skid plates, downwards cameras, extra surround radars, underbody protection etc.
The complaint is that little time is devoted to the assistance systems or it is not tested at all.
Have u watched full length?
Piano black crap, capacitive buttons curse and unnecessary screens overload. This fad can not die soon enough. Improve HUD and bring back the physical buttons! Luckily for Merc- BMW’s (exterior) designers completely lost their minds and Audi not killing it ether, except for their concept vehicles. Currently US and Korean design ideas are market leading, despite strong, cult-like following of German brands. Audi future “inside-out” philosophy, BMW’s Neue Klasse tech and Mercedes Vision EQXX derivatives all look very exciting though.
Great video as usual. Not doubting it drives well, but Mercedes has really messed up the design, don't know what's happening in their studio but it just looks really really odd. Inside and especially out.
@autogefuehl this or X1?
Watch this : czcams.com/video/KGolz7M2NYM/video.html
@@autogefuehl Thank you, which one would you prefer?
Check out the video 😎
@@autogefuehl I actually watched it couple of weeks ago :) I remember you liked X1 a lot, but not sure how it compares to GLC. Will try to watch again :)
That interior is a bit busy for me, TBH, but I still like this car very much otherwise.
Dont listen to those sorry sods, Tom. You have what the kids call: Style.😉
😎🙌
Did I miss the price?
I remember back in the days Thomas said he was 186cm. Has Thomas grown taller??
the passport was wrong
Over $100k in Australia :-( for the base model on the road. So two decently equipped Japanese/South Korean cars or one German car.....hmmm. Even the C class bottom of the range on the road is close to $90k although you can get one if you are lucky for about $85k. Unfortunately the only people that can afford these are company lease and wealthy Chinese people.
Is it a rumor that the EQ series will discontinue? I am still waiting for the true EQC suv, which is redesigned from the ground up to electric.
They will go away from the EQ models again in a few years yes
meaning they wont be called EQ anymore but just S-Class EQ or EV or something probably
@@autogefuehl Thanks!
Team other colors 👍🏽👍🏽
Thomas, yes I wear same clothing to imitate my automobile. In Northern California in the Bay Area.
😎👍
Meni mashinam bu
18:49 made LOL.
Hey Thomas, it's not a Citroen, no magical suspension here 🤭😇
😂
Io voglio il nuovo coupé in arrivo credo
Really hated the iPad interior of Merc and BMW 🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️
Oh, my eyes hurt even though the video from that blue light
you know i have a red car and when i'm wearing green i think to myself i don't really go with my car color today.....haha
Io penso che la Mercedes GLC è la più bella e tecnologica della categoria!! Molto piú moderna è qualita interni superiori a Audi Q3 e Bmw x3.❤❤
I drive a GLB since over a year, went to test new glc, wonderful car BUT I have to say my GLB feels way more airy, roomy . It felt very claustrophobic for me specially front seats, don’t like the styling of the new huge dashboard . Guess I will keep my GLB for long time . This week I drove 1100 km with one full tank, suoer car !
yeah the GLB just offers more space
Mercedes have to laungh glc class (previous model) with the same features
Hey Thomas. Great video as always. I'm not sure if like the new 2023 GLC. The current generation is very classic looking and the new one looks very tacky, especially the interior.
Thanks m8!
Is it electric ???? Plz tell me it’s not
