Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 200 4MATIC (2021) is rated for good performance (7.8s 0-100 km/h) thanks to its MHEV engine, 4x4 traction and high internal quality (Phase-II facelift with MBUX). The main downsides are high fuel consumption (9.0 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 (reported in NHTSA complaints, source 2.4).
