2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 review: Our expert's take


What it is: The Mercedes-Benz GLC is a five-seat compact luxury SUV that's offered in traditional SUV form or as a four-door "coupe." High-performance AMG versions and a plug-in hybrid model are also available. Competitors include the BMW X3, Lexus NX, Porsche Macan and Audi Q5.


New AMG GLC 63 and GLC 63 S variants join the lineup. Both are powered by a handcrafted twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine rated at 469 horsepower in the GLC 63 and 503 hp in the GLC 63 S, the latter of which comes only in the coupe body style. An AMG Performance Exhaust System is newly available, as is an AMG Track Pace App.

Dissatisfied

No problems for first 4 years. Got “brake assist” error one day and dealer could not fixed. This is a very dangerous error as the car suddenly stops accelerating (no matter what is your speed). Took the car to dealer shop 7 times! Finally the dealer bought me back the car. Too bad because it is a beautiful car, but totally unreliable.

4.0

Buyers be aware

It’s an amazing suv! Comfortable, drives well. It has all the features you could possibly want. Now for the bad…things are constantly breaking down…parts and labour are very expensive. Unfortunately I will sell mine not worth it!

5.0

Luxurious feel.

A prefect car. So luxurious! Very spacious, great size for family and friends. Very reliable. Would recommend to anyone looking for safety and style at the same time.
