  • This week I daily drove the newly refreshed 2023 Mercedes GLC. This platform was outdated, and the much needed refresh finally does the GLC justice.

    Just got a 24 and love it. I get much better mileage than indicated. Excellent performance, comfortable, luxury and super quiet interior . The Burmester sound system is excellent!

    i've essentially been the second owner of my grandpa's '22 GLE350 with the same powertrain and i've had a similar experience over the ~2000 miles i've driven it! its really nice to drive around town with only a few hiccups here and there from the mild hybrid system. its not super sporty but it's still got enough power to pass on the I-5.

    I am SO sick to death of auto manufacturers burying every function into a touch screen system, especially when it involves multiple menu dives for commonly used functions. It's dangerous, it takes a person's attention away from the road and it's pure and simple cost cutting. Screens are cheap, buttons are expensive. It's cheaper to bulk a vehicle's functions into a CPU but when these CPUs and screens fail, that's the end of it. These cars are disposable luxury. Fun for the first 3 to 5 years, and trash after that.

    I thought about the Corsair for a while but couldn't justify the subpar tech and drivetrain when compared to a Nautilus, but to hear it just doesnt even compete with the GLC is all i needed to confirm my suspicions about the tiny SUV from Lincoln. Its a shame since the body styling was charming on the Corsair but the rest if it just doesnt offer enough value over a similar ford.

    Be warned: Hello, are there any other customers with a GLC W254 (2023) -same goes for the GLC coupé or the 2023 C classe with an incomplete the ambient lighting (despite having paid for the SA894 option)?
    FYI, The assembly plant runs out of LEDs (among others) and assembles the vehicles without installing the missing LEDs. (Air vents, door handles and central console edges)
    They deliver the NEW GLCs to customers and IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A RETRO-FIT NOR A REFUND. Quote Mercedes-Benz.
    This is how we are treated: "the customer just has to be happy to be able to pay a good price for a one of our vehicles..."

    Great review! I was considering getting a 23 GLC43 amg build , but I went for the 23 x3M40i , because number 1 my dealer had an allocation at the time, Mercedes dealer didn’t have one, and they were going to charge me an extra 10k even if I was building one from the factory , so I decided to go with the x3M40i and love the ride and handling because I like to spirit drive a lot lol. The glc is nice , and both have their short comings , but that BMW 😮‍💨you just can’t beat it. I enjoy it everyday.

      The X3 M40i is a beast. The -owner and handling is exceptional and I love the loud exhaust note setting. The ride was a bit too firm for me though and it just didn’t feel “luxurious” driving it on the highway. But in;over it but now love my X5 50i

      Pretty sure the X3 M40i is best in class, at least for driving engagement and how much fun it is. I could be wrong, but regardless, I LOVE the X3 M40i. Whenever I get tired of my loud e92 M3 and want a more comfy ride, a used (newer) X3 M40i will be at the top of my list. Enjoy your ride! :D

    Nice SUV the only issue in the US is the unavailable Continental Eco Contact 6Q tires. Two flats one repairable. Dealer removed one from a new SUV. Mercedes Corp still terrible in reference to.a resolution on these tires. Ordered a AWD but they put on Summer tires that are not sold in the US. Will be filing a law suit within the year. Mercedes customer service is still horrible in my opinion. My next SUV will be a Lexus!!!!!
