Review of the Mercedes Benz GLC 300

Posted on December 4, 2022

The Mercedes Benz GLC 300 has a lot going for it. Classified as a compact SUV crossover, it has all the features that you’ll find in the C-Class but in a luxurious SUV body. It features an exquisite exterior and comfortable interior design matched with magnificent performance and balance. It’s perfect for a medium-sized family with a generous room in the rear. All of this is presented with a turbocharged fuel-efficient engine. Read our review of the Mercedes Benz GLC 300 below.

Buying a 2016 - 2020 Model

The GLC was the upgrade to the GLK (released in 2010) as a more elegant and aerodynamic luxury SUV alternative. The GLC 300 shares 70% of all its components with the C-Class, so it made sense for Mercedes to add the ‘C’ to ‘GL.’ Introduced in 2016, the GLC 300 has come a long way, and the 2016 to 2020 models are still selling well since all Merc vehicles are known for their longevity and advanced tech features that are still state-of-the-art.

The benefits of the GLC 300 are its generous space in the rear for three passengers and the massive cargo space of 550 litres when the rear seats are split folded to 40/20/40. Today you can buy this excellent SUV at a very reasonable price, starting at $34,888 (2016) to $56,888 (2020). 

All models come standard with fantastic amenities, including being the only SUV in its class with adjustable air suspension. Our GLC 300 has other options, including 48.26cm and 50.8cm wheels, a Class III hitch for hauling, leather upholstery, heated rear seats, a sunroof, Wi-Fi, and a 14-speaker premium Burmeister sound system.
