Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 d 4MATIC (2017) is rated for high torque (500 Nm) and strong performance with its diesel engine, as well as good fuel efficiency (7.4 L/100km) and driving comfort. The main downsides are high maintenance costs of the diesel engine (AdBlue/DPF), the 9G-TRONIC transmission which can be slow or undecided at low speeds, and reported problems with the air compressor unit (on models with air damping) and the manipulation of gas values (for OM651 engines up to 2017).
