Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 200 d (2020) is rated for high fuel efficiency (6.5 L/100km) and strong torque (360 Nm) of the modern OM654 engine. It offers high quality construction, RWD traction and good cabin space. The main downsides are average acceleration performance (9.1s 0-100 km/h), high maintenance costs of the diesel engine, and common problems reported with GLC X253 models, such as 9G-TRONIC transmission shocks at low speeds, premature brake-pedal wear and engine valve defects (reported in NHTSA complaints, source 2.4).
