Model History

2023-

Current Generation

The redesigned GLC mirrors the C-Class redesign with the same cockpit. It also improves fuel economy and gains some interior room. It also brings an improved suite of standard active safety systems and optional driver assistance features including the ability to change lanes on its own. The standard 255-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine uses 48-volt mild-hybrid setup and we measured a commendable 26 mpg overall. Once past an initial delay, this powertrain wakes up and supplies a decent punch. The ride has an underlying firmness but is steady and the cabin is very quiet. Handling is agile but the brake pedal feels dull. Fit and finish is impeccable and the seats are very comfortable. In typical Mercedes fashion, the controls are distracting. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, and BSW and RCTW are standard.

2016-2022

2016 Redesign Year

Based on the current C-Class, the rounded GLC replaces the GLK. Plush furnishings inside the quiet cabin are very appealing, although it also has Mercedes' complex infotainment system. The 241-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder delivers ample power, and is matched to a nine-speed automatic that shifts smoothly and in a timely manner. Overall fuel economy was 22 mpg. The GLC rides comfortably and handles with athleticism. The seats are very comfortable all around, although the rear seats are a bit snug. Forward collision warning with automatic braking is standard. New for 2018 is the 350e Plug-in hybrid. Updates for 2022 include standard adaptive high-beam assist, and the 350e was discontinued.
