Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 (2020) is rated for fast performance (6.3s 0-100km/h) and quiet driving, especially on air-absorbed models. Experts emphasize the premium quality of construction and the inclusion of the advanced MBUX (Phase-II facelift) information and entertainment system. The main downsides are relatively high fuel consumption (9.9 L/100km), high maintenance costs, 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.
