0:00 - Intro
-
BAD:
0:57 - Expensive
The GLC now starts at 47,100 for RWD, but all you’re going to find around here is 4MATIC cars and those start at 49,100
That makes it about 5 grand more than where the Audi Q5 starts
But only about 1,000 more than the fairly fresh BMW X3
1:31 - Miscellaneous Nitpicks
Even if you get open pore wood for your dash inlay you get this massive slab of gloss black which is going to look terrible almost immediately - the good news is you’ll probably leave this open which minimizes it
Your rear seats are great and we’ll talk about them more, but they’re missing charging ports…I mean, what?
Personally, I’d probably order my GLC this way with the Night Package, but White is the only standard paint color - everything else you gotta pay for
-
GOOD:
2:17 - Advanced tech
In fact the whole interior is heavily updated and we’ll talk more about design later
But here now you get an updated MBUX system which includes
Wireless ACP and AA
A new, more vertical style touchscreen we’ve seen now in the C and S
Biometric driver profiles with up to 7 slots
inCREDIBLE 360 cameras with the AR style view
And the 360 cameras function as security camera to record incidents
AR navigation which we’ve talked about before
That’s tied into the screens and HUD
Here you can also get digital headlights which will read road signs and project them onto the road so you can see more clearly
You’ve got telemetry and offroad status screens
You’ve got pressure sensitive seat adjusters
OR you can enter your height and let the car take care of it for you
Something we originally saw in the new SL
You’ve got a wireless charger
And a touch slider for your optional pano roof
3:24 - The drive
It’s still a 2.0T 4 cylinder mated the the MB 9 speed transmission going to either the rear, or all wheels with 4MATIC
BUT
For 2023 now you’ve got a 48V mild hybrid system and now power comes in at 255 hp and 295 lbft
Which means it’s a little faster too - 0-60 in the low 6 sec range
4:37 - Interior space
The rear seats are the most noticeable to benefit form the added 2 inches for 2023
They’re big and comfy and feel palatial with the pano roof
You get rear air vents and an optional climate zone back here too
But you don;t get charges -weird
But the trunk is also bigger this year
The seats still fold 40/20/40 and you get grocery hangers
And I believe it’s bigger than the Q5 and X3
There’s also a way to adjust the rear suspension height to make it easier to load heavy objects
5:20 - Fuel economy
This new GLC is now rated at 26 mpg combined, which is up 2 mpg from last year
And importantly is 2 more more than the X3 and 1 more than the Q5
5:46 - Luxuries
Heated and cooled seats
Heated steering wheel
Heated rear seats*
Seat kinetics
Pano roof option
slider operated
even opens
6:13 - Towing
All GLCs can tow up to 3500 lbs
6:26 - Cabin Design
It all comes together to make you feel like your money went further than in the other brands
8 - Looks
Fors starters your new grille is a little more rounded off, but aso now includes mini MB star elements - which is a nice little touch
You’re got updated LED headlights -std
And you CAN get that digital light system we talked about earlier
Your lower fascia also get a little update
And around the side you have a myriad of new wheel options
The profile at large does look pretty familiar, but again you’re got that extra 2 inchs of length
Chrome treatments are standard unless you go for the night package
And then your rear end gets a set of updates too
With revised taillights and that chrome bar in between

Excellent review that's detailed yet simple
Thank for these points. Just a quick FYI, the black is also a free option. I agree, they should have had the rear USB-C ports as standard like they did for the 2020-2022 models. They are part of a $300 "Advanced USB Package" option. Thanks again.
Glad the option is at least there as it can easily be considered a family car. But boy do I hate it when you have to pay for every extra little nitty picky thing. At least it's not a subscription!
@@GabrielRM completely agree.
I just got my new GLC 2023 4matic and I really love it. Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
Glad you like it!
Nice job with the video 👍
Good review. Thanks.
😎👍
I just purchased this vehicle, and I absolutely love it! ❤
Nice review, really solid. BTW, what glasses are you wearing?
They’re blenders and there’s a link in the description for 20% off if you’re interested
should one add the airmatic package or is the ride smoth enough without?
Impressive!
The log with a TV on top looks funny but, makes sense. If I was camping, I'd put my TV on top of a log.
What is the tyre size?
Is that a 2023 or 2024? My wife has the new 2024 with AMG package. If you don't get AMG package the vehicle is pretty boring and underwhelming. They really should have done more with styling. That is a big negative with this vehicle. It get very expensive as you put more packages on it. The drive is soft but my wife just drives the kids around so it works well for her. The trunk space is especially small for an SUV. The automated parking is somewhat hard to use and scary how close it comes to parked cars. We don't usually use it. Still don't like the gear shifter position.
Booked and waiting more anxiously now.
enjoy it when you get it!
@@Snapple316 lol what u mean stopped working
@@Snapple316 lmao wtf that’s crazy. I can’t imagine that. Imagine buying your dream car and saving up for so long and then that happens right away
@@datway3582 he is lying. Fake profie.
@@sajidmohammed8539 smh what a goofy
Forget about the car , your voice is
soo smooth 👌 😅
interesting to find car reviewers think all silverly chrome painted plastics are metal. everything is plastic except the 4 door latches.
How do i open moonroof…seems to be stuck
I would love to own a Volvo XC60 one day. I would even say it's my dream car. Two weeks ago I learned about this one and I really like iit. Both are way out of my budget so I shall admire from afar. 😆
1:45 I don't understand why Mercedes is obsessed with filling their vehicles with that glossy black trim.
not a fan, but tbh audi is worse
Ikr, it's terrible to keep clean and scratches to easily. At least give us the option to have different materials.
I’m waiting for the manufacturers to make a telescoping infotainment screen 😅
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! GLC or X3 or Q5?
Glc when it has amg pkg body style and interior. The rims on this one and front grille are absolutely awful
Wood trim is horrible aswell
Glc300 or gle53.
@@keavy2163 gle53 coupe anyday if its 2020 n up
Test drove GLC. Bought X3. I thought X3 was more fun to drive and sat up more like an SUV. The GLC drives and sits like a car.
When lunch in India please tell
Only $3000 or so more than our 2016 GLC with all the additional features and updates? A kid sitting in the back and watching videos for 6 hours straight MIGHT need to recharge the iPad...but the longevity of mobile device batteries is making plug-ins nearly obsolete.
I think you can get USB port as an optional addon.
You think that piano plastic is bad in the GLC... take a look at the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve.. even more expensive and TONS of cheap scratch magnet plastic.
All the touch sensitive buttons are very annoying
sooo that car is a $150k where i live lol still getting it tho
You forgot to say that head room is not enought for the people taller!!!
I have never seen a mercedes tow something. Does anyone ever pay for trailer package?
The interior is great. The exterior looks like someone made a soap model of the car and then let it sit in the sun.
Unfortunate that cars are based on technology instead of performance and reliability. Cool mood lighting dude ! 😅
Well go with Toyota then
@@baoquoc3710 triggered snowflake appears !
@@baoquoc3710nah...
I'll go with Mazda...
@@imdone1965mercedes doesn't have performance??😂😂😂
@@georgeskanderbeg3242 Mercedes has towtrucks following them ..
I can’t decide between this car and the GV70 😭
Gv70👀
It’s a mommy car
2023
If it is an EV I do not want it. I will stick to my gas powered cars.
That interior is a hot mess...
Unreliable car. Always breakdown.
Absolutely true
@@titaniumspecial4207 Hongkies call people like you Robert. Go ask your Hong Kong friends what is means when they call you Robert.
ide prefer if you keep telling people people how bad mercedes are its working so I can go get a newish cheap one with low miles for far less then the current competitors.
@@bobbobby5141 Go get a Merz. It's your choice.
50k usd is expensive….
the old glc cost 110k usd in my country😂
Ouch. I do wonder what the real proce is, including VAT.. always so misleading when reviewers use American pricing.
