Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 d (2020) is rated for high fuel efficiency (6.6 L/100km) and strong torque (400 Nm) of the modern OM654 engine, which offers fast and economical driving. It offers high quality interior (Phase-II facelift with MBUX) and good space. The main downsides are the high maintenance costs of the diesel engine, and the common problems reported with the 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).
