    Cool fact about the "crack" after an upshift. The engine is being completely shut off for 1 position stroke, basically misfiring on purpose. There is still fuel and air that gets delivered to the pistons, since the spark plug doesn't fire during the shift(programming), the unburnt fuel gets pushed out the exhaust stroke and ignites on the hot exhaust. This ensures the gear shift can be aggressive and smooth. I love it on my Kona N and my old Golf R.

    In 2022, the GLC43 cost about $2,000 more than a X3 M40i, base prices. Now in 2024/2025 the GLC43 is $3,000 more than the new X3 M50i and it has a 4cyc engine. Impressive

      So, you don't find a 469HP 4 banger exciting? I guess you have no knowledge or understanding of cars, to not realize how cool that is. And giving a full warranty with it too at oil change intervals between 15k km/1year. The M139 is not your average "2.0L turbo" you don't like your small engines if you don't appreciate the king.

  • @petejr7583
    @petejr7583 Місяць тому

    Excellent review guys! I had a very nice fully loaded 2020 GLC 43 w/raucous sport exhaust, which I loved but traded for a better performing RS5 Sportback as I didn’t need the extra GLC space. With that, I’d say this new one looks better from an exterior aesthetic standpoint and the additional rear legroom will be welcome for long legs and child seat use, but the rest is suspect.
    For starters, the previous V6 twin turbo with factory sport exhaust was AMAZING - very fast, quick shifting with the best sounding 6 I’ve ever driven - especially in an SUV! The new 4 cylinder is an A-series hot hatchback engine with typical less refined character, I don’t care how many horses, lightning 0-60 times, Yohan or Omar’s signature hand built plague comes with it.
    The interior switchgear in the previous gen was much better functioning, better feel with real tactile switches and knobs, yet you could still touchscreen if you wished! The new haptic and touchscreen only controls are terrible across the lineup, dare I say German car industry. The AMG sport steering wheel for the same reasons was a 100% better than this new touch sensitive crap they are using now. Mercedes, Audi-VAG, BMW, just STOP THE NONSENSE and fire your interior design teams now, they are literally out-of-touch!
    Folks in the market for one of these GLC’s, my advise would be to opt for the GLE 450 with AMG package or for a bit more money the GLE 53 AMG, as these are equipped with lovely inline 6 turbo mild hybrids and properly functioning interior switchgear (though the latest steering wheels suck like the GLC’s unfortunately), plus you get a lot more space for the family and dogs. You could also find a low mileage CPO prior generation 2020-2024 GLC 43 or 63 AMG which I promise you will enjoy better than this latest poor effort from Mercedes Engineering and Design teams.

    Love your reviews. In the US a GLC43 priced to match the Genesis GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige specs is $82K, the Genesis is $70K. Marquis/Prestige badges only go so far, comparable Genesis models IMHO makes the Germans overpriced, and you get concierge service and a better warranty. I've owned BMW and Jaguar in the past, my 2022 GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige has been far more reliable, this luxury buyer is a Genesis convert.

      I think a 2020-21 GLC63 its an amazing deal on used car market for performance SUV/crossover. Plus, I have a feeling the quality of the interior of the new GLC it’s worse.

      The GLC 63 will likely be equipped with a 4-cylinder hybrid engine. There’s no justification for giving it more cylinders than the C-Class, as the GLC is essentially a taller version of the C-Class. You can already order the GLC 63S in germany and it is a 476 PS + 204PS 4cyl hybrid.

      @@y.y1678 That's interesting. I'm from Italy and I love Canada and I'm planning to apply for an IEC to spend 6-12 months in your country.
      Ontario would be first choice. but I heard too many bad stories about Toronto to consider it.
      I'm also somehow attracted by Saskatchewan and Alberta (that they say is a bit similar too Texas, where I spent 5 years actually) even though I'm scared by their brutal winters.
      Decisions, decisions.
      As for the car situation.
      In Italy I sold my electric bmw, that has been painfully hard to sell.
      Great car, but car lovers have hard time in this country.
      In Saskatoon hey have a 2017 caddy ATS coupe with just 21k km that sounds like a good deal to me. I may get that car.

      @@SM-1010 honestly the 4 cylinder doesnt sound that bad but thats only the least of peoples concerns. it just wont be as reliable, anywhere near as smooth and in many cases will be less fuel efficient compared to a 6 cylinder. the aftermarket potential is also missing. if you want a quick, efficient, comfortable luxury crossover you have the xc60 polestar. if you want something aggressive and fast yet refined you have the x3 m40i. this feels like it combines the worst of both.
