- 2021 Mercedes GLC 300 Review featuring an AMG line with 4Matic AWD. The GLC 300 is one of the best selling vehicles in Mercedes' lineup. For 2021, the Mercedes GLC 300 gets some changes covered in this review. See my 2021 Mercedes GLE 350 Review: • 2021 Mercedes GLE 350 ...
I believe the Mercedes GLC 300 is a good daily for most people. There is a lot of competition in the luxury SUV segment, would you choose the 2021 GLC over the Audi Q5, BMW X3, or even the Lexus NX and RX? Leave your thoughts down in the comment section below.

Please, need an insight from you!
Will Mercedes put the 2x12" continuous display on the GLC (like they did in GLA or GLE)? Or will they stick to the separate displays from gauges and central display?
The subtle digs at people who want to buy a car just to flex makes the reviewer super unlikable. I’m not looking for a car to put on insta, I’m looking for a vehicle that I enjoy getting into every day
I should have made digs at this overly sensitive society.
I’m sorry you got offended by a critique. No need to get defensive
I'm sorry YOU got offended by a remark that was never targeted to you.
Who??
If you just want a vehicle you enjoy everyday and takes you point a to b your not gonna buy a Benz
I always find that premium compact cars/SUVs from BMW, Audi, MB, Lexus and Volvo are fantastic buys. Because they are volume sellers the quality, driving characteristics and practicality are great because the manufacturers take the time to make vehicle that feels a cut above and appealing for people looking to break into the premium segment.
True my friend!
I've seen this car in AMG 43 and in military green and it looks so good
Love the AMG 43 such a fun ride!
Always like ur reviews.
Hahah I love your jokes about doing it for the ‘gram. I just got this beauty and I love it. Great review !
Totally unrelated but I just got a 2019 Kia K900 with 4000 miles in it for $38,000 with the full warranty and it is AMAZING, I had just rented a 2020 BMW 740i last week and it feels nearly identical!! Such a bargain!! I was debating get the new G80 vs this and having driven both I think I made the right decision! If I’m ever on NC I’ll let you review it! 😉
Keep it up man! Next stop 40k!!
Trying my best to get there my friend!
Hi Kevin, our friends in the UK just bought this exact model and they love it as they have had a number of Mercs. They did say it was a step up in build quality and also ride quality, the only gripe was a little to much engine and road noise if you have a heavy right foot apart from that a great SUV. Excellent review on this nice SUV. Thanks Brenton🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
That's awesome my friend! Yea I probably should have mentioned the 4 cylinder in mercs is probably louder than it probably should be but yea overall pretty decent daily for sure thanks so much for stopping by!
@@MeynMotorGroup your welcome.
Can’t wait to look at this in a few bro 👍🏾👍🏾
Appreciate it like always man!
@@MeynMotorGroup Never a problem bro 👍🏾👍🏾
Love the GLC 300 4Matic 🤩
Really nice car. I miss the days of the more boxy/angular look though (such as around ~2013)
I plan on factory ordering a GLC next week. This will be my first vehicle ever that I own. I drove my ex’s 2020 AudiQ5 for a year and really enjoyed it. Features I found useful were the enhanced sound system, 360 camera, heated/ventilated seats, and heated steering wheel. I live in Chicago. I never used the kick open trunk feature. The four zone climate control, as well as the head up display. A waste of money for me on these features. Would you say the ride experience of the GLC is similar to the Q5?
GLC has "Heat and noise-insulating front side glass" as a non-standard option for $150. I think it might be a membrane instead of double-paned but still makes a notable difference I heard
Oh yes for sure that could def make a difference thanks for bringing that up!
If it is anything like the one on E-class (although E-class has the glass all round) it makes a huge difference. Driving without it is almost like driving with your windows open in terms of outside noise.
It's so hard to keep up with all of MB's SUV/crossover offerings. I swear it feels like between models and trims there are 100 permutations
And they make coupe models 😆
You actually provide real reviews, instead of marketing spec-sheet lectures. Thanks!
Thank you my friend glad you appreciate the content
I'll never really grasp why Mercedes use such good looking and comfy materials but have such low quality or solidity to them especially if Genesis I able to do it and have good/latest tech which Lexus is criticized for. Great video and I'm glad you actually liked this car, I'm not always dure if ill like it bc it feels like they do put enough thought into their vehicle, and the amount of options there are is always suspect
Very nice bro definitely looks fun to drive 😎
Not a bad ride at all!
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah bro I’d pimp around in it lol
Haha yea bro for sure
@@MeynMotorGroup 😎
New RDX, Q5, or this GLC? I know they are apple and orange. But just want to know the opinions. I have 19 RDX and don’t like it much.
If you can please test drive a RWD C300 from this generation with the AMG Line. It’s the lightest sportiest non AMG we get in the US and its such a fun little car. Family has one fully loaded out and I love it. Also I always too recommended the Burmester especially being $850. One of the best stereo upgrades for the money in any brand. Also a pro owner’s tip, if you pull the cup holder lid back down a bit you can fit your large phone there. My 6.7” 12 Max fits in there pretty well but it’s obviously a little bit of an overthought.
Just found this out earlier today😁🤝😁
You look very comfortable sitting in it.
I honestly wouldn’t put this on Instagram. But definitely get your money’s worth for it. It’s kinda of crazy how American vehicles are starting to get more expensive than European luxury
I know you recently review the 2022 x3 and said it was much better then the 2020. Can you let me know if you prefer the current X3 or GLC and why?
I would probably go with the X3 since it’s cheaper and smoother 2022 X3 is great Benz was cool but engine is not as smooth and interior isn’t quite as solid
@@MeynMotorGroup I was hoping you’d say that as I just bought a 2022 x4. I was considering a glc 300 coupe but didn’t wanna wait 6 months for the build (x4 took only 6 weeks), so I didn’t even test drive one. Thanks for the reply!
Nice! Massive congrats yea 6 weeks is amazing a very decent wait time. I wanted to like the Benz but really you gotta spend minimum 70k and get the E series Benzes for it to be worth it. I think you will enjoy the X4 solid machine
I like the car Kevin but with a start price from 68K ( 2L Turbo 208 HP ) and with a little bit of options 85K ( Germany ) it´s to expensive for me.
Oh wow that is a lot
@@MeynMotorGroup yea a lot of money for a compact SUV and fully loaded the price go over 100K.
Yea that's crazy I think the GLC63s can be had for around $80k in the States hate when cars are overpriced but I've noticed vehicles can cost 2-3x as much in other countries compared to the United States
@@MeynMotorGroupAMG GLC 63S 503 HP, start price 121K and nearly fully loaded 152K, not bad Kevin what do you think ?
@@MeynMotorGroup and the funny thing is the GLC will be built in Germany.
yes that car looks good!!! however ( this is personal story , so it doesn't mean shit) : my sister and her husband had a 2014 S550 which they traded for a GLC300 in late 2019 ( the S550 had an issue that would cost over 4K to fix)...unfortunately, their GLC300 had issue from the start ( brand new one! ) they went back and forth with the dealer ( which was not the most pleasant people) and was finally declared a Lemon ( FL law)...They now drive a 2021 VW Atlas ( bigger and cheaper...LOL )....ANYWAY, I just wanted to share for fun...LOL ...personally , I drive a 1993 mercedes W124 400E and NO issue ( 265K miles)
I believe it 😆
Me too
Im not a fan of compact suvs, but I can’t wait for the Genesis GV70
GV70 looks intriguing but their 80 and 90 lineup are always where their true quality lies
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hey bro!
@@MeynMotorGroup Yo bro 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I don't know why but it seems really loud on the highway for a merc
Well that was close to 100 mph 😆 70ish not bad but I def think Lexus RX350 is quieter. But if you want to stay in the benz family the GLE is where it's at in my opinion
it is ...well, at least the 2019 was!!!
Looking forward to seeing how the Genesis GV70 compares to this
True!
Really is my favorite suv I have had. If I really have to complain, my 2019 model did not have Apple Play and Mercedes navigation is SO bad. Second thing I don’t like is that the parking radar does not have warning bars on screen and no warning sounds (BMW and Audi are much better for this feature).
Success or not it’s still a tiny suv for tiny peoples.
Hello there
Hi 👋
👍👍😊
✌
Please don’t compare this to the rx350 or other vehicles. They aren’t even in the same category. Compare this to those compact crossovers instead.
Oh but I can compare it and I will especially since they cost around the same price. As a good journalist should, I must inform the buyer of other options especially ones in the same price bracket so they can make an educated buying decision. If a larger option with more value is available, the people should know about it.
Just ordered a Mercedes GLC 300 AMG Line Premium Plus cant wait for it to arrive in May. This was after ordering and cancelling a Lexus NX 450+, which in my view was fairly sluggish and too revvy, did not like the CVT transmission either
I don't agree with u bro. I have a 2019 x3 and it blows the glc away. It looks like an old lady's suv. Bmw drives better and definetely handles better. This thing is boring. You have your wires crossed.
