Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 (2024) is praised by experts for its fast performance (6.4s 0-100 km/h) and excellent smooth driving thanks to the MHEV system and 9G-TRONIC transmission. The new luxurious design (X254), premium build quality and high-tech cabin (MBUX with portrait display) are highly rated. The main weaknesses are the relatively high fuel consumption (9.6 L/100km), high maintenance costs, and common problems reported with X254 models such as transmission jerks at low speeds, and electrical/software problems with the MBUX system.
