Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 d 4MATIC (2017) is rated for fast performance (6.4s 0-100 km/h) and exceptional torque (620 Nm) of the V6 engine, as well as for high quality interior materials and quiet driving. The main downsides are high fuel consumption (8.3 L/100km), very high maintenance costs (including V6 engine and SCR/AdBlue system), and reported problems with the air compressor unit (on models with air damping) and manipulation of gas values (for diesel engines up to 2017).
