This is pretty good actually. It has power, it looks good, drives good, the interior is fantastic and it is practical.
Zonk the rear wiper Joe.
No, this actually competes with the X3 40i or whatever they're calling it now. The X3 M and GLC63 are competitors. Mercedes goofed here because a 4-cylinder just isn't it.
Thanks for your insight on this one.
You are correct ✅
X3 M40i
Tell that to the price of this car. U can get an x3m for about the same price and is absolutely destroys this
I’d even say that the Genesis GV70 is a competitor if not better..
Need to add another mini RR logo to cover up the heads up display Joe
For my money, I’ll take the ‘24 BMW X3 m40i. The B58/ZF drivetrain is superior, as is the interior- Also about 10k less…
Yeah true
The new x3 m40 I design is terrible unfortunately in my opinion they should of just changed the interior and infotainment system and that's about it
Just got home from the hospital. What’s the first thing I watch? Raiti’s Rides, of course!
What were u there for
What happen David?
@@powerplayerGKthe sight of new car prices and markups sent him there 😢
I like the older Mercedes products more than the current models. That is because I am old and wise enough to know quality and timeless styling when i see it. These are cool for the younger generations and are still very good quality vehicles. The exterior is still wonderful but the interior and powertrain are a back step compared to earlier models. Just my opinion. Great review Joseph.
Raiti, you forgot to block out the heads up display speed indicator.
Thats actually not carbon fibre. Its their "metal weave trim" - this can be configured for that center piano black area as well.
I’ll catch a used 1 n get it at 50k
Thats what i was thinking too. For 50k is well priced, but 78k nahh lol
You might have to wait for 3 years to get a 24 MY at that price.
@@redademe not in a rush to get 1 I have a 24 c8 stingray 👌🏾
I had this car and the engine completely failed has been in the shop for about three months… very sad. Was such a nice car and fun to drive
I assume you are referring to the issues with the coolant system. That was an issue early on and has been fixed. It did cause issues with long service visits until MB understood and implemented a fix for the issue. Definitely ruined the experience for many.
That carbon fiber is about as real as the stuff Mercedes put on the B pillars of “sport” C classes back in the 90’s.
Love your car video Joe
On throttle here we go! 😂 The best part of watching Raiti's Rides
The coupe is so much nicer
Off course Mercedes would never be Mercedes without having customers sell their pants to buy their vehicles 😂
I see by the shiny new branded speedo blocker that the Florida state troopers must have gave Joe a call, and probably some shit lmao😂
This was surprisingly fun to drive honestly. It doesn't translate well to videos but in real life there's plenty of 'sounds' it makes its kind of entertaining.
That Benz looks nice.
2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG Night Package!
Much better engine with the 6 cylinder in the BMW, the choice is obvious
My 2022 is a 6 cylinder but this looks nice.
Nah I enjoy the 2022 more
No zonk on the rear wiper?!
Don't give up the good fight of getting manufacturers to hide the rear wiper!
It has the horsepower, it has the handcrafted engine, it has the luxurious design this is an amazing vehicle and yes better then a BMW X3M I'm tired of people saying because of a 4 cylinder these cars are not AMG's as long as I open my hood and see someones name and can confirm they configured that engine for my car that's an real amg love the car and as always love the review. Id totally buy this vehicle.
I would choose Porsche macan
Lmao imagine thinking becuase someone signed ur engine makes it more special. Ur signed engine would get absolutely and I mean left looking parked vs a x3m comp .
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Dope review thanks cooper!
Luv your work and those twinke pockets and know the Raiti redesign
I’m speechless. Don’t need to explain myself.
I like your vids & I can't wait to buy one 1 day.
That’s one nice suv and it’s AMG too 😀
I am so glad that you apporve!
7:59 Nice Exhaust Burble
It is real carbon fiber, I believe it may be wet carbon fiber, and it’s a $975 dollar option in the United States. Also the reason behind the heads up display that was zonked is for the augmented reality navigation features that are equipped to this Pinnacle trim model shown in the video. And to correct a previous commenter, it competes with the BMW X3 M50. BMW renamed the “light” X3 M from M40i to M50. The “i” designation is now solely used on BMW electric vehicles, and not those powered only by combustion engines. Thanks for the video of this awesome car!
It’s called “metal weave” . Not CF
Haven’t seen the video , but I already can say this is my dream car, thank you for video ❤
Just went through this comparison in the last 30 days. We compared the 43 to the M440i rather than the X3M (The X3M was more expensive in most configs). We actually ended up with the X3MC because the performance was just WAY better, the seats were way more comfortable for the top trim. Also the Mercedes dealership local to us was just unwilling to find anything we wanted to buy. My wife hates any red anywhere and it seems Mercedes is obsessed with it.
That is so fantastic to hear Eric!
Covering the speedometer with Logo, now that is next level😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for letting me bring some surprises!
4bang is the New 6bang, 8bang is the EV hybrid plug-in Regen, oops I believe that is unavailable 😂
I really like how they incorporated the screen into the console. It looks like it belongs.
*Curious why you're covering the speedo now? And also not the HUD?*
just a liability thing, a lot of car youtubers do it
@@frozencold199 yeah but unless you’re new here you should know this is the first time he’s ever done it. And again, he shows the HUD which shows his speed. So it makes 0 sense.
@@Slimothy I have seen him cover the speedo before, just going way over the speed limit. Likely didn't think people were looking at the HUD (I need to be in cinema mode to see it).
I don't even like the HUD in any car, but that is just me.
I told the officer I couldn't tell how fast I was going. The Raiti's Rides logo always pops up after 25mph.
Good thing you have it set to KPH! 😉
I love the censored speed!! 😂
It is on a need to know basis David! LOL
AMG GLC 43 HOMEY!
No window tint seems odd. Cool car anyways though!
I didn't even think about that.
That Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Looks Nice👍🏻👌🏻🏁🚙💨!!!
Joe, as always, great review.
Interior insert is “Metallic Structure”, similar to the carbon ; but no cost option.
Pairing the turbo 4 with an electric motor makes good, immediate power and you get more MPG over a standalone 4 cyl. I’d rather have leather in that dash over the plastic. Is it roomier than the X3? But $78k is a bit high. I’d go for the X5 40i w/strong straight turbo 6 for $80k.
No way,give me that sweet inline six any day.
So now you have to blur the speedometer? Are you getting trouble from cops?
Wtf joe polish your own stones 😂😂😂😂😂
2.0L 4Cyl what kind of performance are you looking for ?
What you actually get for the price of this car is comical. The amount of add-ons this car has to raise the price for stuff you get standard on a Toyota is hilarious. Pretty sure a brand new similar spec'd BMW M50 is like 10 grand less and you get a V6.
78k for a 4 banger amg? Nah taking a pass there. If its a V6 i can be interested. At least this has a exhasut burble which i wasnt expecting for a 4 banger. Bmw got to work on their exhaust note for their straight 6 engines. Sound like lawnmowers. This exhaust note i like surprisingly like. That caught me off guard
Great timing!
Looks good 👍…….but I would pass on both of those options. Thanks Joe ! and Steven Flood !!
Dang, who zonked that rim
The best 2 Liter engine in the World
Can you imagine what a Porsche SUV would be like...well if they felt they needed a hi -performance model?
Are you serious?? Porsche has a high performance SUV!
Grreat daily driver in those busy dwn twn streets...
I’m a pimp and would appreciate you telling me how many clams can fit in the console of the next review.
And the slide panorama controls not for me luv my buttons on my 2020, my daughter big screen but to is to much distraction but u do it your gracefully thanks for the donuts
Where have you seen heads up display without "deep hole" ?
Very impressive, but these days make sure you only Lease.
I appreciate and approve
You mean to tell me 70k car and no cup holder in the back seat for the passengers 😅😂
Very nice Performance SUV by Mercedes. What’s the MSRP?
78k
I'll keep my F Pace SVR
It’s “metal weave” trim and not CF.
I hate that little shifter Mercedes uses, like a windshield wiper adjuster
Fine looking SUV.
I am so glad that you think so Manuel!
My knocks turbo charged 4 cylinder. With electric motor to boost hp. Rims ugly, and no chargers in the back for 78k. That’s ridiculous
Not really a black like person but is done well on this SUV
Wayy too expensive
Hey Raiti,please don't scream so much when you press the gas we can't hear the engine and the tire chirping 😂
Will do Daniel!
Thats a beautiful piece of scrap metal you got there!
Haha, I can’t help but wonder why you keep the cluster panel hidden 😂. Surely, it has nothing to do with the speed limit!
78k for a car that wins in no categories performance wise vs a bmw x3m comp.. yea choice is obvious. X3m looks better too. This looks super generic
Big miss my merc, BMW has them beat with both options 43
I appreciate you sharing you vote on this one.
Man Mercedes BMW and Audi interior designs and exterior designs are getting so dated. I just watched the 2025 Lincoln Navigator and 2025 Cadillac Escalade videos and it's no comparison. American design is really something special.
What is this title hahah, you should stop making videos if you compare a 43 to the mighty s58 lmao
Brisa Skyway
Harber Trafficway
I like it ...
They black out the entire car but then they make it into a fishbowl…
0-60?
4.8 seconds
Enjoy the reviews! But I will make a pass on this vehicle
I'll stick with my M5.
yes anything Mercedes is better.
I know everyone has their favorites!
78k for a 4 banger… its nice but ill pass.
BMWs don’t look as luxurious as Mercedes especially there AMG models, everyone compares it to the x3 M40i but that just doesn’t look as good. Does have better equipment but that’s it.
No it’s not carbon fibre and it’s called metal waves
Im not cleaning those wheels!!
Nah, I’m good with my BMW❤
Not digging front of this GLC
I beg Japanese Carmaker to take this car, look at every single detail of this car and please please please do NOT build any any any car like this! What the *** is this?
The overall look of this Merc is kinda generic looking to me.
Not ugly, but not sexy, either. Sort of like that librarian checking out books.
She may look ordinary, but when you give her a little gas....watch out!!!
I hate hard plastic in the new AMG and overpriced and no v6 and running boards is not necessary on small suv outside looks like AMG inline 4 is not selling am only buying if has v6 so I would rather buy a used 2022
78000$ 😮,I am not buying 😢
Let’s see you do a performance comparison between that AMG GLC43 and a BMW X3 M, there’s no way that AMG has a chance. Why have these ridiculous titles to get people to watch your videos?
Benz has lost the plot, asking for $80k for a 4-cylinder.
And wtf is with that bare-bones rear climate control for this price point?
This is a C-class - garbage.
