i just bought the 2022 GLC model and will be coming to my house next week. I hope I will enjoy the car because it will be my first Mercedes Benz car ever :D
I have recently ordered a GLC 300e 4matic, which I found was the best option today for us in Sweden. Home charging gives us relatively cheap e-driving around the city with enough range, whilst the availability of the petrol engine makes economic and comfortable long-drives without too many charging stops. In particular winter time.
I've got a 2023 AMG Premium 220d arriving in around 2 weeks. I was also considering the 300d but didn't think the additional expense and insurance was worth the performance increase. It's a luxury SUV, speed isn't massively important.
Dear nick,your presentation are perfect,I have learned lot of Merc Concepts and functionality from your presentations,keep it up . I own Glc 220d 4matic 2020.Now going to have 2023 GLC.Thanks from India.
I purchased a New GLC 300 and l love it, l am not a fan of the Zero Layer “Tiles” at the bottom of the screen but found that if you swipe them down they disappear. By doing this you do not need to revert the Classic screen. Hope this tip helps as there are many tricks in these great cars
I think I need to hit the lottery. I have a 2021 GLC, it gets the job done. But the thought of having an AMG, plug-in, and just a normal luxury SUV all in one stylish package makes me drool. How did Mercedes know what I want.
Great video. I am very impressed with the overall modifications. Looking forward to see if there are any changes coming in the GLE! My current lease agreement for the GLE is coming to an end by dec23.😂 Nick, the way you talk about the car features shows your knowledge about it but at the same time it truly reflects your deep passion for the Mercedes! Always a delight to watch your video!
Yeah there was a facelift announced 2 weeks ago! group-media.mercedes-benz.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko/The-latest-news-on-the-GLE-and-GLE-Coup-Bestsellers-now-even-better.xhtml?oid=55141475&ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvL0dMRS54aHRtbD9vaWQ9OTI2Nzc5MCZyZWxJZD02MDgyOSZmcm9tT2lkPTkyNjc3OTAmcmVzdWx0SW5mb1R5cGVJZD00MDYyNiZ2aWV3VHlwZT10aHVtYnMmc29ydERlZmluaXRpb249UFVCTElTSEVEX0FULTImdGh1bWJTY2FsZUluZGV4PTEmcm93Q291bnRzSW5kZXg9NSZmcm9tSW5mb1R5cGVJZD00MDYyOA!!&rs=0 Thank you 🙏 Glad you’re enjoying them!

The centre console. Having a portrait style means that you may scratch the centre console if you wear a stainless steel watch strap. 😢 I’m not a fan of this change. If you get Piano Black you will definitely scratch it. Especially if your arms a shorter than yours . Thoughts 💭
Great video and looks like a nice car. I got my first GLC, in the UK, October 2015, one of the first I believe. Current one, 300 petrol Prem+, mild hybrid, I got end of last year, one of the last one’s before the new model. Got a great deal. Oh, and the front seat also moves forward when you put the rear seats down. 😀 Big price increase over last model, sign of the times, I suppose.
Hi @Nick, why is it that Mercedes UK dont allow customers to choose individual options for the cars? Particularly the night package instead of the chrome? How difficult or how costly is it to send a note to the factory to say this order is with chrome or night package? Why are they forcing devoted customers to spend so much money but still not be able to have the car look the way they want?
Hey Yiannis, Mercedes do this to make it easier to purchase cars. Years ago, when ordering a car, it was extremely complicated with hundreds if not thousands of variants. Now an A-Class for example has your choice of engine (just a few to make it easy) and then the choice of Executive, Premium & Premium Plus which often add gadgets to the car. Of course there’s a choice of colour as well but it’s to make it easy to choose and not complicated. Hope that helps answer your question!
I faced exactly this dilemma. I wanted the glc but with night package and black alloys that is available in some other countries. I ended up ordering and having the chrome wrapped/deleted and alloys painted black privately. A bit annoying that its not available to order from factory in the uk but it is what it is i guess
Great videos Nick! I appreciate all the work you put into these. You are my go to for info regarding the GLC. I purchased the 2023 GLC for my wife. She loves the car with the exception of the brake assist. I thought I had turned all of this off but it has locked down on her a few times within the past week which absolutely scares her. You may have already posted the answer to my question somewhere, but I need to verify that I have turned all of the brake assist functions off, so this doesn't happen to her again. Do you have a video showing how to do this? Thanks again for the work you put into these videos.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! There are various safety systems I’ve seen in Mercedes. They are usually located in HOME, SETTINGS, ASSISTANCE. Active Brake Assist would only intervene if there was an impending crash with the car in front. However just wondering if it’s Active Lane Keeping Assist. This can help brake / steer the car back into lane if you manoeuvre out of lane without indicating.
Superb video Nick .. I love the effort and skill you put into your professional presentations … I do hope Mercedes Benz UK are singing your praises for being such a huge ambassador for the brand. As for the GLC .. I love the invisible bonnet idea .. keep up the good work 👍
Mercedes should introduce lights in the crossbars on the sides of the big star in the grill. The blackened part can be made into daytime running lights. --------0------- Thanks
Not sure you can…Not seen anything on Mercedes multimedia system screens. They do notify you if it’s low though on the screen or via the app and email etc through Mercedes me
Nick, loving your videos! For the premium flagship I still find it perplexing that the Uk models don’t have the two usb c port for the rear seat or the extra 12v charger on the boot space for the latest GLC. Is this a restriction in the UK region alone ? Do you know if the usb-c can be custom fit elsewhere (even the GLB model seems to have it)
Thank you! Ah yes USB-C ports do vary, I guess it’s something to do with the GLB being a 7 seater or something. The more ports the better I always find! Haha 🤓
Hi Nick, thanks for your videos. Very helpful / useful. Bought a ‘24 GLC just a little over a month ago. Phenomenal SUV. Love it! The only issue I’m seeing now is the 48V battery making the engine light come on. In fact, many owners of the ‘23s are experiencing this as well confirmed via FB GLC300 forum. Everyone is waiting for a SW update. Apparently, this issue has come up since July ‘23, but folks think an extreme cold weather causes it. Anyway, have you or anyone on here have heard or experiencing this issue?
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Oh really? That’s strange, I mean I’d suggest chatting to Mercedes and they can take a look. Sadly I only get a short time with the cars for review so Mercedes would be able help in this situation 🤓
Hi Nick! Great video as always. I can't wait to see these in the US. Quick note, I currently drive a 2021 GLC 300 and the driver's seat does move up whenever I put the rear seats down from the boot. Love the videos, Thanks!
Great video Nick. I was thinking to maybe exchange my GLE for a GLC 300de but I cant see it in the line up in the UK. Do you know anything about it? As you are the second channel who promoting the availability but when I try to spec a car on an official UK Mercedes-Benz configurator, there is no 300de to select.
Thank you! I get all of my info verified through the ebrochures on the Mercedes-Benz website. This is the GLC one: tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/current/passenger-cars/e-brochures/glc.pdf?_gl=1*y65vc7*_ga*MTYzNjQ1NTg1OC4xNjc0MTMyMzY2*_ga_0Q0YZ92E6R*MTY3NjkwNDIwMS4yMS4xLjE2NzY5MDQyMzAuMC4wLjA.&_gl=1*m3gb5f*_ga*MTYzNjQ1NTg1OC4xNjc0MTMyMzY2*_ga_0Q0YZ92E6R*MTY3NjkwNDIwMS4yMS4xLjE2NzY5MDQyMzAuMA..&_ga=2.146262708.1680501754.1676904202-1636455858.1674132366
Hi Nick very impressed with GLC and thinking of upgrading from my GLA250e. Not too sure about 12:10 the running boards though, are these optional. GLA doors keep sills clean v running boards attracting road dirt!
If I lived in the lakes where some of the roads aren't that good, well not many roads or good at the mo .I think id go for something like this . But still like my E class too much to change. Great vid as always Nick.😉
Great vid as always. I have ordered a new GLC and pick it up in two weeks. I do have a question that no one at MB Brighton could answer and that is the foot gesture for opening boot did not work on the demonstrator or the identical GLC in the show room? Have Mercedes removed this function or does need to be turned on?😅
Hey Robert! Thank you! Ah that hasn’t been available for sometime! It’s Hands Free Access (that’s what it was called) It depends on the specification but your local Mercedes should be able to let you know what models it’s available on 🤓
Thanks Nick, great to see the new GLC finally arrives UK, any idea around when will we see the 1st batch order appear OTR ? 🥳 By the way, is it confirmed all version arrives UK also having the Mild hybrid drive features ? as I recall the Sep 2022 ver. Catalog (when new GLC 1st release in UK website), only Petrol ver. have the Mild hybrid drive function while Diesel doesn't.
Hey J, no worries! No sorry I wouldn’t know delivery times, I noticed when I made the video there were some in stock on their Online Showroom but it depends on the engine size, colour and spec you’re after. Yes all engines variants excl plug-ins are Mild Hybrid in the UK on the GLC 👍🏼
Do these have the same driving aids etc as the previous versions ? I’m waiting for the GLC Coupe but if I can’t wait until the end of the year this may be the model for me.
I’ve been looking at this car as a tow car. The performance figures on the 300de look ideal. It also state the MPG as 706.3. In what car . Is this really achievable?
It’s a tricky one to work out because it depends on the journey you do. So for example, if you drove 2 miles up the road, went into the shops then drove back and the engine didn’t switch on, you will have achieved 999+ miles per gallon, because you haven’t used any gallons of fuel, just electric. Another example, same trip but if you accelerated hard at the lights just once, then drove normally for the rest of it, then your MPG might be around 300-400 MPG because it averaged out on electric for most of it. And the final example, same trip again but this time you drove there on electric and then drove back with the engine on “Battery Level” (this mode uses the engine) then your MPG might be around the 100-200 MPG mark. Miles per gallon is very tricky to work out on hybrids because there is another source of power pushing you around which throws off stats. MPG is used to measure how much fuel we use, where as electric is measured in MPkWh (miles per kWh) This is why that figure seems high on short journeys but less on longer journeys. Of course the more you run on electric and plug it in, the better your MPG will be but with a plug-in hybrid you don’t have to to complete a journey.
Maybe! We’ll have to keep an eye out! Based on previous launches of cars, for example like the C-Class, saloons and estates come out first and if the coupe and cabriolet receive an update, it’s usually a year or so later so we’ll have to see what they announce! 👀
Thanks Yusuf! Glad you enjoy them! Going forward for long videos (not shorts) I’ll add subtitle and caption support for: English, German, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Swedish, Spanish, Danish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Polish, Greek & Turkish. I’ll try and backdate a few videos where I can over the next month or so
@@npoleary If you're going to update your previous videos, I might have a suggestion. I'm interested in "Dashcam" and I watched your video, but I understood very little of it. Good luck. 👇🏻 ua-cam.com/video/cqGlOtTjmz0/v-deo.html
Ah very nice! The new one’s full of tech! Most Mercedes dealerships should have one available for a test drive so you ought to take one out for a drive! 😎
Spec shown is top of the range and some features are not available on the AMG LINE. Add £10,000 for these features like the sun roof and those blue led lights. The AMG LINE is the BEST VALUE and only needs the electric tow bar. Save yourself a fortune- buy the basic Merc. Leaves spare cash for the speed boat.
Hey Jayne, really sorry I wouldn’t know exact specifics for that one, you’ll have to contact Mercedes as spec varies around the world. I know it hasn’t been available or part of UK spec for a while but I heard a rumour it might be coming back 🙏
@@npoleary Hi Nick thank you for the reply. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to further informative videos that help get the most out of the tech available on Mercedes cars.
Any Idea why they went with a touch screen for everything, even essential buttons like heating and air? Hepatic touch steering wheel? Try using that while turning or on ruff surface. I think it is the most frustrating! Cadillac, Lexus, Mazda and Toyota have learned that you cant put everything on a touchscreen and forget about hepatic anything while your driving! And no reviewers are talking about that. Must have a new interior design team. Everything else is really nice.
Hey thank you! Ideally yes it would have been better in a different location but sadly I’m only allowed access to film them. I can’t ask them to move them round to different areas 🤓 I kind of just turn up and that’s where the car is 😅 I’m still grateful I can pop in to film and capture some of the latest models when they’re out though! Even when covering other manufacturers not all allowing filming in their showrooms!
Hi Nick, I am 197 cm tall and if I adjust the driver seat to the maximum my neck/shoulders will still touch the head rest so basically the car is undrivable for tall people. I own previous generation of GLC and this is no issue. Thoughts?
Mine has an issue with the front facing camera when you go into the off-road mode. It doesn't show the underneath of the car. It shows only black lines.
Hi Nick, Can I track my new mercedes order via the order number, I was told mecedes me can do it but I cant find anyway to track my progress on the new build
Sadly there isn't a way to do that with Mercedes, I couldn't when I ordered mine. I think there might be a way if you live in Europe or Germany but sadly not possible in the UK.
It can turn the engine off to save fuel as you slow down 🤓 Got a better explainer shown here in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Sx2FtG094oc/v-deo.htmlsi=cxrQ8_L_uf2pKPcI&t=200 It’s on my own car with a similar mild hybrid system 🤓
@@npoleary Well I didn’t know that! I had never seen the rev gauge for the engine drop to zero so assumed it never cut the engine. That said I only had this car for two weeks so far.
@@npoleary Does it only switch the engine off in Eco mode? And only boost the engine in sport mode? I typically drive in comfort thinking that eco is nuking my AC and power while sport is using more fuel?
I can imagine Nick has a huge amount of fun randomly meeting strangers in public places, showing them all kinds of tricks with their own Mercs. I can already see the viral video: "Merc expert UA-camr teaching Celeb Merc owners a few secrets of their own cars they were totally unaware of". 🤣
I just found out yesterday that the 2023 MSRP for the USA model GLC 300 4MATIC SUV will have a huge price increase. It will increase from the 2022 $45,850.00 to a ridiculous and a very high $49,100.00. The US model 2023 GLC 300 4MATIC SUV (non Coupe & non AMG models) is now more expensive by $3,350.00 over the 2022 GLC. The 2023 GLC Coupes and AMG GLC 43 models are going to be much higher priced as well. Plus you have to add on top of this huge MSRP amount the destination cost of $1,150.00 (+$100 from 2022). To summarize you will pay $50,250.00 without adding ANY one single option. I think Mercedes has made a huge mistake in its pricing and is extremely greedy. PLUS ..... there are unscrupulous MB dealers who want to charge extra dealer profit over this already very high and ridiculous high MSRP. I will NEVER deal with these greedy dealers. I think I will start looking for another car company who would love to have my business. I do not like Mercedes anymore. Their cars have gotten very expensive and unaffordable.
I just bought a 2024 GLC 300 and there was no Vanity lighting on the 5 vents. There is lighting everywhere but the vents. I was told by the Dealer that Mercedes discontinued this lighting. I contacted Mercedes to confirm this information and what a useless customer experience. They told me to contact other Dealers in the area where I live to find out if this is common with their vehicles. I also emailed Mercedes and they told me to deal with my Dealer. I would like to know if you have heard of any such problem with vanity lighting. This is a great vehicle but Mercedes has not given me any good vibes. Thanking you in advance.
GLE’s have never had lighting in the vents, so that is not correct information. See below my review of the car when it came out. Scroll to 3 min 28 to see: ua-cam.com/video/perqm3nqAMg/v-deo.htmlsi=P-oOPxZW4TqolikP Just bear in mind that not all models of Mercedes inside have the same design, some do have lights in the vents but some don’t.
Ah sorry! :( GLC’s did have ambient lighting unless you’re saying they don’t now? Here’s the review I filmed at my local dealer: ua-cam.com/video/KubtRZEVNn4/v-deo.htmlsi=Uk34n6w985yPiIwf I’ve read a few comments online that Mercedes may have changed the spec on the C-Class with ambient lighting in the vents so that could be the same for GLC.
@@npoleary Yes that's what the Mercedes Dealer is saying, "no more GLC 2024 vanity lighting in the vents". It's funny with a change that big Mercedes should have let someone know.
Well I doubt they would have told me 😅 I just turn up and review the car and make a video. I don’t get told any secrets but yeah surprised dealers aren’t told!
I have a 22 GLB and my garage door will not stay programmed to my Homelink. It’ll work for a week then boom I have to reprogram it. I also have a 2019 CLA and am not having any issues with that car. SIGH
Maybe! We’ll have to keep an eye out! Based on previous launches of cars, for example like the C-Class, saloons and estates come out first and if the coupe and cabriolet receive an update, it’s usually a year or so later so we’ll have to see what they announce! 👀
Hey darkpill, if I get the opportunity I always will try but at my local Mercedes, when I filmed the GLC, this was a static, polished and showroom shiny! 😛 Don’t think they’d appreciate me taking that out! Haha
Thank you and i really appreciate your channel and in case you want to do a side hustle to earn, listen up most individuals are now generating income from foreign exchange trading markets through the help of mentorship.
Why is it all the review of the new 2023 GLC never show the AMG line "base" car costing £51885. the Features shown on this model costs £10,000 sterling more in the 2.2D 197 BHP model. even more if you opt for the 300C petrol. the Hybrid 23HP does nothing but lower the emissions and boost a bit of HP. It does not drive the car in any way. So get real - review the base car, described by most motoring magazines as the BEST BUY. To much tech... later ownership means expensive repairs if necessary. Keep it simple. Hybrid... you must be joking - not cost effective not to mention mileage anxiety with "am I getting home in my electric car"? No mention of the interior colour options. Would have liked to have seen the NEVA grey. Some notable points mentioned... but I really want to see the AMG Line car and the colour options
Hey Ron, I wish I could but I’m limited by the cars in the Mercedes showroom. But it’s one of the main reasons I try not to talk about Premium / Premium Plus and colour options in my videos as it varies round the world. I try and keep the video appealing to everyone where I can. Having a comparison side by side would be amazing though!
Today is February 24, 2023 and still the USA does not have this model available to buyers who want to customize and order this new 2023 GLC 300 4MATIC SUV. You can buy or build the new 2023 GLC Coupe or AMG GLC 43 models but in the USA these two models sadly and unfortunately still have the old interior from the 2022 model year and do not have the new interior, specially the new and larger center display. I have not idea why stupid Mercedes is doing such imbecilic acts and if you try to to build a new 2023 GLC 300 4MATIC SUV in the US you will NOT find it at MB website and Mercedes Benz is so out of touch that they do not even have a date of when this build tool will be available to us. We are left completely in the dark. Very stupid indeed.
Hey John, all countries are like this sadly. There are new models coming out that are sold on the opposite side of the world before they’re available here. It’s just down to how manufacturers want to roll it out. Even in the UK there are a couple of models that don’t exist here like the Mercedes GLK.
i just bought the 2022 GLC model and will be coming to my house next week. I hope I will enjoy the car because it will be my first Mercedes Benz car ever :D

As you are the second channel who promoting the availability but when I try to spec a car on an official UK Mercedes-Benz configurator, there is no 300de to select.
Thank you! I get all of my info verified through the ebrochures on the Mercedes-Benz website. This is the GLC one:

Shout out to sabdown Mercedes Benz
That's incredible
Hi Nick very impressed with GLC and thinking of upgrading from my GLA250e. Not too sure about 12:10 the running boards though, are these optional. GLA doors keep sills clean v running boards attracting road dirt!
Hey Anthony, yeah it’s a pretty impressive car!
Yes running boards are part of the car, all of them are like that from factory 👍🏼
If I lived in the lakes where some of the roads aren't that good, well not many roads or good at the mo .I think id go for something like this . But still like my E class too much to change. Great vid as always Nick.😉
Great vid as always. I have ordered a new GLC and pick it up in two weeks. I do have a question that no one at MB Brighton could answer and that is the foot gesture for opening boot did not work on the demonstrator or the identical GLC in the show room? Have Mercedes removed this function or does need to be turned on?😅
Hey Robert! Thank you! Ah that hasn’t been available for sometime! It’s Hands Free Access (that’s what it was called)
It depends on the specification but your local Mercedes should be able to let you know what models it’s available on 🤓
@@npoleary Hi Nick
The model I tested and the model I’m buying is the GLC 300 premium plus which I thought would have this function?
It depends on the specification, hands free access hasn’t been on most Mercedes for almost 2/3 years.
@@npoleary Hi Nick
Thanks for your help mate your an absolute credit to Mercedes, I hope they show this in way.
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Thanks Nick, great to see the new GLC finally arrives UK, any idea around when will we see the 1st batch order appear OTR ? 🥳
By the way, is it confirmed all version arrives UK also having the Mild hybrid drive features ? as I recall the Sep 2022 ver. Catalog (when new GLC 1st release in UK website), only Petrol ver. have the Mild hybrid drive function while Diesel doesn't.
Hey J, no worries!
No sorry I wouldn’t know delivery times, I noticed when I made the video there were some in stock on their Online Showroom but it depends on the engine size, colour and spec you’re after.
Yes all engines variants excl plug-ins are Mild Hybrid in the UK on the GLC 👍🏼
Dont forger the facelifts on a/cla class
@@npoleary Thanks Nick, saw there are lots of choices in stock now and ready to drive away in 14 days. great
Do these have the same driving aids etc as the previous versions ? I’m waiting for the GLC Coupe but if I can’t wait until the end of the year this may be the model for me.
Hey Darren, it should have more! 🤓 but double check with Mercedes to be 100% sure
Plus I’ve heard rumours GLC Coupe could be coming soon!
He fine that you are here with a new video! Qustion did you do a vid about Facial/gesture control One in depth ?
I’ve heard of MBUX Interior Assistant before which is quite rare, I’m sure I’ll feature it in a video somewhen!
This is mercedes benz GLC 300 4matic, right ?
Yeah I think it was, (Premium Plus) 🤓
I’ve been looking at this car as a tow car. The performance figures on the 300de look ideal. It also state the MPG as 706.3. In what car . Is this really achievable?
It’s a tricky one to work out because it depends on the journey you do. So for example, if you drove 2 miles up the road, went into the shops then drove back and the engine didn’t switch on, you will have achieved 999+ miles per gallon, because you haven’t used any gallons of fuel, just electric.
Another example, same trip but if you accelerated hard at the lights just once, then drove normally for the rest of it, then your MPG might be around 300-400 MPG because it averaged out on electric for most of it.
And the final example, same trip again but this time you drove there on electric and then drove back with the engine on “Battery Level” (this mode uses the engine) then your MPG might be around the 100-200 MPG mark.
Miles per gallon is very tricky to work out on hybrids because there is another source of power pushing you around which throws off stats. MPG is used to measure how much fuel we use, where as electric is measured in MPkWh (miles per kWh)
This is why that figure seems high on short journeys but less on longer journeys. Of course the more you run on electric and plug it in, the better your MPG will be but with a plug-in hybrid you don’t have to to complete a journey.
Thanks for the review Nick, but what about a new GLC coupe? 🙏
Maybe! We’ll have to keep an eye out!
Based on previous launches of cars, for example like the C-Class, saloons and estates come out first and if the coupe and cabriolet receive an update, it’s usually a year or so later so we’ll have to see what they announce! 👀
Hello. I learn something new with every video. Please keep making videos. Also, thank you for the opportunity to watch it in my own language.
Thanks Yusuf! Glad you enjoy them!
Going forward for long videos (not shorts) I’ll add subtitle and caption support for:
English, German, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi, Swedish, Spanish, Danish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Polish, Greek & Turkish.
I’ll try and backdate a few videos where I can over the next month or so
@@npoleary If you're going to update your previous videos, I might have a suggestion. I'm interested in "Dashcam" and I watched your video, but I understood very little of it. Good luck. 👇🏻
ua-cam.com/video/cqGlOtTjmz0/v-deo.html
Thanks Yusuf, I’ve got a fairly big collection now after a few years but I’ll try and backdate a few popular ones over the next month or so 👍🏼
Thank you Nick for another great video… got me thinking if this should be my next one, currently driving a 2021 E Estate…
Ah very nice! The new one’s full of tech!
Most Mercedes dealerships should have one available for a test drive so you ought to take one out for a drive! 😎
Can you please tell me the color of this GLC???
Spectral blue metallic 🤓
Thank you!!!!!
No worries! 🤓
Spec shown is top of the range and some features are not available on the AMG LINE. Add £10,000 for these features like the sun roof and those blue led lights. The AMG LINE is the BEST VALUE and only needs the electric tow bar. Save yourself a fortune- buy the basic Merc. Leaves spare cash for the speed boat.
Hi Nick, could you clarify whether a GLC 2023 Premium Plus model should have hands free access on the tailgate please.
Hey Jayne, really sorry I wouldn’t know exact specifics for that one, you’ll have to contact Mercedes as spec varies around the world.
I know it hasn’t been available or part of UK spec for a while but I heard a rumour it might be coming back 🙏
@@npoleary Hi Nick thank you for the reply. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to further informative videos that help get the most out of the tech available on Mercedes cars.
Thankyou👍👍👍👍❤️
👍Nice GLC 👍😎🥰🚘
hybrid is the smart choice compared to full electric!!
Any Idea why they went with a touch screen for everything, even essential buttons like heating and air? Hepatic touch steering wheel? Try using that while turning or on ruff surface. I think it is the most frustrating! Cadillac, Lexus, Mazda and Toyota have learned that you cant put everything on a touchscreen and forget about hepatic anything while your driving! And no reviewers are talking about that. Must have a new interior design team. Everything else is really nice.
Hey Phil, not sure would love to meet someone at Mercedes factory one day and ask some techie questions! 🤓
@@npoleary Thanks for your reply
No worries! 🤓
Never have a live showroom tv in the background of your shot. It takes the eye there rather than what you are explaining.( which you do very well.
Hey thank you! Ideally yes it would have been better in a different location but sadly I’m only allowed access to film them. I can’t ask them to move them round to different areas 🤓
I kind of just turn up and that’s where the car is 😅
I’m still grateful I can pop in to film and capture some of the latest models when they’re out though! Even when covering other manufacturers not all allowing filming in their showrooms!
Hi Nick, I am 197 cm tall and if I adjust the driver seat to the maximum my neck/shoulders will still touch the head rest so basically the car is undrivable for tall people. I own previous generation of GLC and this is no issue. Thoughts?
Sadly manufacturers don’t release exact seat sizes so I wouldn’t know if it’s different to the previous one. The design is different, I know that
Hopefully they have fixed the suspension our 2020 GLC300 crashes over every speed bump
Mine has an issue with the front facing camera when you go into the off-road mode. It doesn't show the underneath of the car. It shows only black lines.
Have you got the 360° camera, I’ve heard you need that to use Transparent Bonnet
Hi Nick, Can I track my new mercedes order via the order number, I was told mecedes me can do it but I cant find anyway to track my progress on the new build
Sadly there isn't a way to do that with Mercedes, I couldn't when I ordered mine.
I think there might be a way if you live in Europe or Germany but sadly not possible in the UK.
@@npoleary thanks anyway
Can you do a video for the 2024 GLC coupe.
I’d love to! If I get my hands on one for sure!
dID I hear that correctly? The mild hybrid sometimes switches the engine? I thought it only ever assisted the running engine?
It can turn the engine off to save fuel as you slow down 🤓
Got a better explainer shown here in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Sx2FtG094oc/v-deo.htmlsi=cxrQ8_L_uf2pKPcI&t=200
It’s on my own car with a similar mild hybrid system 🤓
@@npoleary Well I didn’t know that! I had never seen the rev gauge for the engine drop to zero so assumed it never cut the engine. That said I only had this car for two weeks so far.
@@npoleary Does it only switch the engine off in Eco mode?
And only boost the engine in sport mode?
I typically drive in comfort thinking that eco is nuking my AC and power while sport is using more fuel?
Yeah it’ll do it in Eco mode 🤓
I haven’t noticed a difference in A/C to be honest. If there is it’s minuscule 👍🏼
@@npoleary Thanks for the reply, so doesn't do it in Comfort and doesn't boost power in comfort or eco?
Hello,
Could you please make a video about car finances? i'm confused.
Hey Harkajang, I have considered this one 🤓
It’s on my list of potential future videos 👀
Модела е чудесен🔝🔝🔝
Having owned both a GLC and GLE, the GLE is a far superior drive. Wouldn`t consider a GLC again.
I can imagine Nick has a huge amount of fun randomly meeting strangers in public places, showing them all kinds of tricks with their own Mercs. I can already see the viral video: "Merc expert UA-camr teaching Celeb Merc owners a few secrets of their own cars they were totally unaware of". 🤣
Haha 😅
Oh I wouldn’t say expert! 😅 I’m still learning stuff day to day 👍🏼
Any idea when the AMG version will be available?
If an AMG is coming on a new model, it’s usually a year later (based on previous model launches) 🤓
There is a glc 400e also
Won't there be an AMG 43 and 63 model ?
Mercedes always announce standard engines first, AMG engines are always later 🤓
@@npoleary look forward to seeing the AMG'S 😃👍🏻
I missed the touchpad :_( you get fingerprints on the screen
282 Stars
I tried ordering one back end of last year and they wouldn’t let me has they had no info on it
It’s out now so you’ll definitely be able to order it now 😎
Now you have the new steering wheel 😁
when is the release date?
GLC’s already out, it was at Mercedes in a dealership when I filmed 🤓
Thank you
I just found out yesterday that the 2023 MSRP for the USA model GLC 300 4MATIC SUV will have a huge price increase.
It will increase from the 2022 $45,850.00 to a ridiculous and a very high $49,100.00.
The US model 2023 GLC 300 4MATIC SUV (non Coupe & non AMG models) is now more expensive by $3,350.00 over the 2022 GLC.
The 2023 GLC Coupes and AMG GLC 43 models are going to be much higher priced as well.
Plus you have to add on top of this huge MSRP amount the destination cost of $1,150.00 (+$100 from 2022).
To summarize you will pay $50,250.00 without adding ANY one single option.
I think Mercedes has made a huge mistake in its pricing and is extremely greedy.
PLUS ..... there are unscrupulous MB dealers who want to charge extra dealer profit over this already very high and ridiculous high MSRP. I will NEVER deal with these greedy dealers.
I think I will start looking for another car company who would love to have my business.
I do not like Mercedes anymore. Their cars have gotten very expensive and unaffordable.
I just bought a 2024 GLC 300 and there was no Vanity lighting on the 5 vents. There is lighting everywhere but the vents. I was told by the Dealer that Mercedes discontinued this lighting. I contacted Mercedes to confirm this information and what a useless customer experience. They told me to contact other Dealers in the area where I live to find out if this is common with their vehicles. I also emailed Mercedes and they told me to deal with my Dealer. I would like to know if you have heard of any such problem with vanity lighting. This is a great vehicle but Mercedes has not given me any good vibes. Thanking you in advance.
GLE’s have never had lighting in the vents, so that is not correct information. See below my review of the car when it came out.
Scroll to 3 min 28 to see: ua-cam.com/video/perqm3nqAMg/v-deo.htmlsi=P-oOPxZW4TqolikP
Just bear in mind that not all models of Mercedes inside have the same design, some do have lights in the vents but some don’t.
@@npoleary You wrote GLE. I need GLC info. Thanks for your reply.
Ah sorry! :(
GLC’s did have ambient lighting unless you’re saying they don’t now?
Here’s the review I filmed at my local dealer: ua-cam.com/video/KubtRZEVNn4/v-deo.htmlsi=Uk34n6w985yPiIwf
I’ve read a few comments online that Mercedes may have changed the spec on the C-Class with ambient lighting in the vents so that could be the same for GLC.
@@npoleary Yes that's what the Mercedes Dealer is saying, "no more GLC 2024 vanity lighting in the vents". It's funny with a change that big Mercedes should have let someone know.
Well I doubt they would have told me 😅
I just turn up and review the car and make a video. I don’t get told any secrets but yeah surprised dealers aren’t told!
U didn't show the rear of the car in detail...
Steering wheel placed wrong.😃
Nice. But when it comes to SUV’s, I always prefer BMW over Mercedes.
I have a 22 GLB and my garage door will not stay programmed to my Homelink. It’ll work for a week then boom I have to reprogram it. I also have a 2019 CLA and am not having any issues with that car. SIGH
Ah cool I’ve heard of this, it doesn’t exist in the UK.
Would love to of tried that out! 🤓
Are MB going to do a new GLC Coupe?
Maybe! We’ll have to keep an eye out!
Based on previous launches of cars, for example like the C-Class, saloons and estates come out first and if the coupe and cabriolet receive an update, it’s usually a year or so later so we’ll have to see what they announce! 👀
I’ve seen some media saying that they are scaling down variants due too cost cutting 😢
@@npoleary Well I just got a new GLC 300 Coupe, so I think I can wait a while
I remember the days car reviewers actually drove the car.
Hey darkpill, if I get the opportunity I always will try but at my local Mercedes, when I filmed the GLC, this was a static, polished and showroom shiny! 😛
Don’t think they’d appreciate me taking that out! Haha
Nice but the price is insane! No thanks Mercedes, your quality control is no better than Kia and they’re half the price!
300 ish
Thank you and i really appreciate your channel and in case you want to do a side hustle to earn, listen up
most individuals are now generating income from foreign exchange trading markets through the help of mentorship.
Why is it all the review of the new 2023 GLC never show the AMG line "base" car costing £51885. the Features shown on this model costs £10,000 sterling more in the 2.2D 197 BHP model. even more if you opt for the 300C petrol. the Hybrid 23HP does nothing but lower the emissions and boost a bit of HP. It does not drive the car in any way. So get real - review the base car, described by most motoring magazines as the BEST BUY. To much tech... later ownership means expensive repairs if necessary. Keep it simple. Hybrid... you must be joking - not cost effective not to mention mileage anxiety with "am I getting home in my electric car"? No mention of the interior colour options. Would have liked to have seen the NEVA grey. Some notable points mentioned... but I really want to see the AMG Line car and the colour options
Hey Ron, I wish I could but I’m limited by the cars in the Mercedes showroom. But it’s one of the main reasons I try not to talk about Premium / Premium Plus and colour options in my videos as it varies round the world. I try and keep the video appealing to everyone where I can.
Having a comparison side by side would be amazing though!
The rear seats are so cramped and uncomfortable.
Really? I’m 6ft 2” as they’re loads of room
If you need more space, there’s the GLE and GLS. They have even more leg room than the GLC 🤓
The driving arrangement is like sitting and controlling from a capsule.
It does not feel airy with free space .
Not a fan of such design .
Those fake exhausts are eyesores...
Amg is so pointless on a glc. Clearly a cash grab for people with mentalities of hey look at me
No thanks.
Today is February 24, 2023 and still the USA does not have this model available to buyers who want to customize and order this new 2023 GLC 300 4MATIC SUV.
You can buy or build the new 2023 GLC Coupe or AMG GLC 43 models but in the USA these two models sadly and unfortunately still have the old interior from the 2022 model year and do not have the new interior, specially the new and larger center display.
I have not idea why stupid Mercedes is doing such imbecilic acts and if you try to to build a new 2023 GLC 300 4MATIC SUV in the US you will NOT find it at MB website and Mercedes Benz is so out of touch that they do not even have a date of when this build tool will be available to us. We are left completely in the dark.
Very stupid indeed.
Hey John, all countries are like this sadly. There are new models coming out that are sold on the opposite side of the world before they’re available here.
It’s just down to how manufacturers want to roll it out. Even in the UK there are a couple of models that don’t exist here like the Mercedes GLK.
