Mercedes glc: an amazing all-around vehicle.

The Mercedes glc class offers a great sized vehicle with space for passengers and lots of trunk room. It also rides extremely smoothly making it the best for long distance trips and casual commutes. It also boasts a powerful engine that is subtle, making you go very fast without seeming like there is any strain on the engine or that it is overwhelmed. This is a great all-around vehicle that can last and be extremely useful on the day-to-day.

Mercedes-benz glc midnight edition.

The glc midnight edition is beautiful, sleek and a bit obnoxious (in a good way). The exterior is all black with that shining star in the middle. Keyless entry, one touch trunk lift and remote start and the best options available. The interior lighting is modern and unique- different colors are available. The performance of the engine is unparalleled for a small SUV/ crossover. Apple carplay makes life easier. The only thing that is a bit clunky is the heating/cooling buttons and the outdated cell phone hookups.

Carol B

Born in Germany. Return to Germany!

Since I have only had the vehicle for one year I have had no problems. I love the space and all of the extra tech. I have a problem with my knees so the air bags for the knees was a feature that was great. It has an excellent safety record. Also, I live in Florida and purchased the white color with the tan interior. I could not be happier with my purchases.

2019 Mercedes glc 300 4matic a great SUV with bad electronics.

Only problem I have with the Mercedes glc 300 4-magic is that the electronic display on the dashboard and apple iPhone apps have compatibility problems. Sometimes, while I use a navigation app like waze, the display screen will become pixelated or go dead.

Braydon R

My mercedes-benz glc 300; luxury, comfort, and style.

I have a mercedes-benz glc. It is a very reliable vehicle, with and easy ride and comfortable interior. It is fully loaded with an led screen for controls, entertainment, and navigation. There is plenty of legroom in the driver seat, driver passers, as well as in the back seats. The vehicle has a lot of trunk space as well. Sun roof that extends from over the front seats to over the rear seats as well. Sunroof opens over the driver's seats. Tinted windows to help protect from the sun. Led lights in the front grill emblem. There are also logos projected from the front doors onto the ground when the doors are open and it is dark out. Even though the vehicle is spacious on the inside, it is still compact enough to easily fit into parking spaces. All and all a great vehicle for the price. Quality all around. No complaints.

2019 mb glc 300. It is worth every penny!

It is spacious, comfortable, has great safety features. I have leather 2 tone interior with the night package and running board. I have not had it a year yet but have had no problems thus far. Trunk space is plenty and it comes with a storage cart and a net.

Kayla A

Lease to purchase: that's how much I love it my car.

I have had my vehicle for over a year and have not encountered any problems with it. I love how it drives and would not trade it for anything else. It's very spacious and very comfortable. My car is a lease but after driving it and havin it for a year now I plan on purchasing the car as soon as I can without breaking the contract. I am happy with my decision and will continue my relationship with Mercedes.

Jessica S

Highly recommend this coupe!

Absolutely love my glc-300 coupe. It is stylish, comfortable and spacious for this size SUV. The interior is well thought out and the infotainment center is easy to use. The only complaint is the trunk space. While spacious, you cannot carry tall items because of the coupe-style hatch.

Safety

Worst car I ever drove. The car just shuts itself off while I’m driving and switches gears. Huge safety issue. If that car stops or changes gear while I’m on a busy highway, someone is going to slam into me which could result in me getting hurt or possibly killed. I’m afraid to drive it. Worst part is the dealer doesn't know how to fix the problem. I've called Corporate, have a case with them but they're are doing nothing for me. Not good on gas.

Sally Brown

Disappointing new car purchase

Had to buy new tires at 18000 miles. 😒 The radio stays on when I exit the car.The dealer can’t fix it because it happens intermittently. The electronic display stopped working with will my iPhone.Dealer tells me to reset my iPhone to original settings.I did this but it still didn’t work. My Mercedes me app has never worked consistently. Even my dealer complained about it. You have to call Mercedes me app. They were not helpful. Very disappointing purchase overall.

Lisa Huntley

Rattling inside the steering wheel and dashboard

Just bought my Mercedes Benz AMG GLC 43. Noticed a rattle coming from the dash/Steering wheel. I bought it with a mere 2600 miles on a2019 model. The other thing I thought was ridiculous is that it comes with summer tires, it’s a all wheel drive vehicle, in Northern Nevada, where we have a long winter, it should come with all weather tires....Captain Obvious! Because of the tire size You have buy another set of tires and wheels for the winter tires. After the close of the sale I am not impressed with overall customer service and would not buy another car at the Reno Mercedes Dealership. I am ten weeks in and ready to go back to Porsche!!

Ster V

Best buy for 2020, it's great for a growing family and very affordable.

It is a comfortable car, ride is very comfortable as well. It has enough safety features and so far after one year of use it has proved to be very reliable. Also when it comes to performance it is reliable and does not use too much gas. It is a nice family car with enough storage.

Farls

I hate the noise it makes at lower speeds

Very difficult to perform necessary radio functions as an example. Not intuitive at all.

Jia C

Mercedes Benz glc 300 review.

Not that comfortable. Design is kind of old and Haven't changed. Driving it feels okay, expected more from the car. I feel like I could get more for the money I spent on the car. Features feel old and unreliable such as the sensors on the car. Other than that, the exterior design of the car looks pretty good.

April L

More console room needed. Find my key app would be great!

Not enough room in the center open console to put stuff needed when driving, like phone, keys, garage door opener, business cards and lipstick. Also with a car at that price point there should be a feature with an app to find my keys. I would rather pay more for the car and have this feature.

Robert R

The only interesting detail I can think of are the led headlights.

It does not get great gas mileage and I think I overpaid. It drives well but is a little smaller than I thought it was which is tough for a family of four. The inside is the same as my c300 so I would have preferred to waited for a newer model to come out within my price range.

What Do Critics Say About the Mercedes GLC?

Consumer Reports says the 2019 Mercedes GLC offers nice driving dynamics with a comfortable cabin, and good owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the GLC at 3.7/5, enjoying the balance of comfort and performance, but doesn’t like that the technology system is sometimes tricky to use.
Kelley Blue Book users give the GLC a 3.9/5, praising the classy interior for the money, but owners don’t like the relatively small cargo area.

What Common Problems Does the 2019 Mercedes GLC Have?

Common problems found on the 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC include check engine lights, the windows not rolling down, along with the stereo system freezing. Overall, these problems are similar to other small luxury SUVs, although repair costs are more expensive than average due to the high parts and labor costs.

Check engine lights are the most widespread complaint on the 2019 Mercedes GLC, showing up within the first 25,000 miles. There are a lot of reasons a check engine light may turn on, so you will need to use an OBD-II scan tool to diagnose the issue. Once you know the source of the problem then repairing it can cost $20 to $800, depending on the issue.

The windows not rolling down has also been reported by some 2019 GLC owners at around 30,000 miles. Worn-out window motors are usually the source of the problem. Replacing them costs around $550, depending on local labor rates.

A frozen stereo system shows up on some GLC models as well within the first 1,000 miles. There are software updates available for the stereo system which improve the reliability of it. Most dealerships will update the software for free, while others charge around $100 for labor.

There are 12 recalls on the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC, which is worse than a lot of other luxury SUVs on the market. The most serious recalls cover a loss of power steering, which can increase the risk of an accident. Mercedes will replace the steering units on affected models for free. Other recalls cover various software system issues, the roof panel, and even a fuel leak at the fuel rails.

How Long Will the 2019 Mercedes GLC Last?

A well-maintained 2019 Mercedes GLC can last around 200,000 miles, which is shorter than other luxury SUVs like the Lexus RX. Regular annual maintenance costs are higher than average according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $1,013 per year.

As a used 2019 GLC reaches 100,000 miles, and depending on the vehicle history owners should be prepared to replace the oxygen sensors for $300, water pump costing $850, along with the alternator which costs around $1,300.

S H

Not reliable. Sensor continually went off shutting down electric controls panel. Supposedly a wire was exposed and burned out.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology is very good on entry-level GLC models with a standard 7-inch infotainment display. Optional upgrades include a larger 8.4-inch central display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a high-end Burmester sound system.

Standard safety technology is excellent, and includes:

Rearview camera
Automatic emergency braking
Crosswind assist
Forward collision warning
Driver attention monitoring

Optional driver assistance features include:

Blind spot monitoring
Head-up display
Automatic parking assist

Is the 2019 Mercedes GLC a Good Value?

Yes, the 2019 Mercedes GLC is a good value since it offers a lot of luxury features and technology for the money. The blue book fair purchase price ranges from $24,850 to $72,500, making it more than an Acura MDX or Cadillac XT5. When new, the price range was $40,700 to $81,800. Depreciation is worse than some other luxury SUVs, losing about 13% of its current value per year.

The seats are plush, supportive, and can be adjusted in multiple ways to cater to various body types and preferences. Both the front and rear seating areas provide ample legroom and headroom, making long journeys pleasurable for all passengers.

The ride quality is smooth and refined, with the suspension adeptly absorbing road imperfections, guaranteeing a serene driving experience.

For cargo space, the GLC provides 19.4 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats. When the rear seats are folded down, this space expands to an impressive 56.5 cubic feet. To give a practical sense of its capacity, this means you can easily fit large suitcases, golf bags, or even a bicycle with the front wheel removed when the rear seats are folded.

Apart from the main cargo area, the GLC also has numerous smaller storage areas throughout the cabin. These include door pockets, a spacious glovebox, center console storage, and cup holders.

2019: Heated front seats and a household outlet are now standard, there’s also an available off-road engineering package.

2020: Advanced MBUX infotainment system added to the lineup, and a stronger four-cylinder engine.

How Does the Mercedes GLC Compare to the Competition?

The 2019 Mercedes GLC is a nice small luxury SUV, offering a good mix of upscale interior materials, technology, and performance on the higher-end AMG models, although the ownership costs get expensive as it ages.

The Audi Q5 is a slightly smaller SUV which can be found for around $3,500 less. The Audi Q5 is better in the snow thanks to its all-wheel drive system, while the Mercedes GLC offers a more luxurious interior. We recommend the Mercedes GLC since it offers more luxury, although it’s worth testing both to see which you prefer.

The Mercedes GLE is a larger SUV offered by Mercedes for around $5,000 more. Passenger room is better in the Mercedes GLE, while the Mercedes GLC is more responsive on winding roads. We recommend the Mercedes GLC, unless you are looking for the extra space found in the GLE since they are both very similar regarding overall quality.

Great small SUV with styles and lots of room.

Great size. Very reliable and a lot of interior room. The apple play feature has some issues with older phones. Handles well in snow and rain. I got the sports AMG style package so very comfortable driver's seat. The two part sunroof is amazing. Love the heated seats.

Jaclyn N on May 23, 2021

It is great car, we leased it but once lease is done we will pick something else.

The car is small for SUV, hard have car seat and out the front passenger seat back. I do not like the Park, Drive location, want more cup holders, touch screen would be nice. The car drives nice and no issues in the first year. I’d like it have sunroof but I can always add that.

Caroline J on May 1, 2021

Mercedes glc 2019: best car ever!

My vehicle is great. It is the best Mercedes I have ever owned. Drives smooth, great mileage, and I have never had a maintenance problem. It is also very spacious, and the trunk space is large for its size. It is equipped with apple play on a large screen.

Elizabeth K on March 26, 2021

I love my mercedes-benz-test drive one today.

No problems with the car. It is easy to drive. Great turn radius. Fun to drive. Pretty much fully loaded. I had to get used to the car turning off when it stopped. It felt like the battery died. It does save significant gas. If it bothers you, the feature can be turned off. I miss the cooled seats, especially in Florida.

Sarah K on March 24, 2021

Car handling, performance on long distance trips & comfortable/beautiful interior.

A great, reliable and well-handled SUV that has a beautiful interior / exterior. Comfort level us superb, features are 4/5 due to the lack of digital display and a little undated software / user interface. Otherwise, the performance and drive behind this card is great and I would highly recommend.

Janae D on March 20, 2021

Love my car and love the app that I can control my car from.

I love that I can control my car through the Mercedes me app. I can unlock or lock my doors, turn the engine on, check tire pressure, and check gas tank. I love how smooth it drives. I feel very safe driving it especially that I have a 9 month old baby. The only downside is the back door does not open as wide which makes it a little hard getting my car seat in and out of the car but that is really the only downside to this car.

Marissa R on March 10, 2021

The safety of an svu with the fun of a sedan.

I love my car! This is my second glc and I do not think I would switch to a different vehicle any time soon. It is the perfect size for me, gives me the feel and space of an SUV but drives and handles like a car. I love the safety features like blind spot assist and surround view camera. My favorite features that are just for fun are the panorama sunroof and the ambient lighting. I also have the convenience to start my car from my phone. I have a long commute for work so it is important for me to be comfortable when I am driving.

Denise A on March 9, 2021

Wish I would've purchased a bigger vehicle.

Not what I expected from this car. I do not like the fact that I have to wait on a tow truck when I get a flat. I regret the purchase. It is too small for my growing family. It is a tight fit with one car seat. Now I have to wait a few years to get a new vehicle.

Saran V on February 21, 2021

Benz glc 300 - a must have.

I am really liking the new glc 300 car as it has very nice comfortness on driving compared to my previous sedan car. It is stops the outside noise and gives a pleasant and a smooth trip. And also, its very easy to change the gear or park the car, very nice support for hands-free phone calls and navigation system.

Holly H on February 5, 2021

Mercedes Benz glc 2019 fun car to drive!

Awesome car, great pick-up, amazing performance in the snow and all weather conditions, hugs the road, quick performance, very comfortable, car gets great mileage for an SUV, roughly 25 miles per gallon, good cargo space, nice technology features, apple carplay feature works great.

Elegant driving for an affordable cost.

Very easy driving and the brakes are great. Interior is very elegant and the design is as well which was an improvement from the older models. There is a navigation system built in and connected to your calendar which is a huge plus so you do not need to dig for your phone to use GPS.

Great midsize SUV for its performance and price.

I am very happy and satisfied about this car. Great performance, and I really like the way it drives (smooth & powerful at the same time). Inside is very spacious and comfortable. It is a perfect size and very convenient for parents with 1 or 2 children. It has a beautiful design.

Mia M on October 20, 2020

Mercedes Benz glc 300 2019.

Drives really well! Has great sound system. Good gas mileage. The interior has held up really well. It looks super nice on the outside. Definitely a great looking car that is perfect combination of sporty and comfortable. Perfect size too. Fits 3 comfortably in the back and you also do not feel like a small car driving on the road.

Lizandra D on September 12, 2020

Love my car, great SUV for the family. The interior is amazing it ,

Comfortable, economic, it has great features such as rear camera, car side detectors, leather interior and spacious. Is a car that you really will love to drive, it combines the style and versatility that everyone loves. System can be operated by touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel or a mostly intuitive touchpad on the center console. It also have apple play which I really love and a great audio system.

Excellent choice for an SUV.

Reliable SUV with good safety features like side lane assist and collision alerts. Roomy interior and trunk space. Good acceleration and brakes. All wheel drive. Good vehicle controls and well placed panel. Excellent sound system. I have had no problems with the car.

Diane D on August 16, 2020

Expected more from a Mercedes Benz.

When going in reverse, the backup camera turns off on occasion. The tires need to be rotated more than normal. The battery on the keypad does not last long and needs to be replaced. It does not have the navigation package which includes a lot more than just navigation. I am not a fan of the apple car play. Some of the technology could be better considering it is a Mercedes, everything should be top of the line.

Ster V on July 31, 2020

Mercedes glc luxury vehicle.

The car drives very well, has blind spot assist, the brakes are great, and gets pretty good gas mileage. Interior is so pretty with leather and wood grain inside. The illuminating star on the front is one of my favorite add ins. Love the panoramic sunroof as well.

Camille S on May 13, 2020

My favorite beautiful smooth driving car.

It is so reliable, I never worry about getting anywhere with my car. I love the way it drives, it is extremely smooth. The smoothest car I have ever driven or owned. I do wish it had a little more room in the backseat and seats that could be heated but it is totally fine. The apple car play is also awesome.

Kendahl U on February 11, 2020

I love my Mercedes glc! One of the best midsize SUVs I have ever driven.

I love my Mercedes glc! It rides smoothly and easy to control. It has comfortable seating throughout the car and heated driver and passenger seats. The back row is spacious so even taller people can sit comfortably. The speakers in the car are amazing and extremely clear. There are not really any blind spots on this but it does come with the blind spot light on the two side mirrors just in case.

Kristi W on February 6, 2020

Glc AMG midnight edition is on point. Superior SUV that is fun to drive.

Love our glc AMG! The performance of this SUV is amazing, powerful fast and fun! The interior is luxurious and spacious. The exterior midnight package is the way to go- all black except for the star! The only issue we have is with the outdated infotainment system. No wireless charging and the screen is on the small size. Apple CarPlay works great.

Anne S on January 23, 2020

Will never stray away from this car!

It is the best car. It is drives so smooth, and it is the perfect size vehicle. Plenty of room in the truck, and the back seat. I could keep this car forever, and it is amazing when factoring in the price. I have not had one problem with this car. Definitely recommend to everyone!

I hate the noise it makes at lower speeds

Very difficult to perform necessary radio functions as an example. Not intuitive at all.

My favorite car that I have owned yet.

I haven't had any issues with the car so far. I love the way it drives because it is incredibly smooth on the road. I love the added features of CarPlay and Bluetooth. It is easy to understand all features and I love the look of the interior as well.

The screen for the radio and maps is AMAZING.

I absolutely love my 2019 Mercedes GLC. The only thing I wish I would have gotten is a sunroof. Mine is white with beige interior. It drives amazing and I feel so safe and comfortable in it. I wish I would have looked a little more into the black exterior, but I wouldn't change my tan interior for anything

A reliable car with a kink or two

The only problem with this car that I have experienced is with the wheels. I have had 3 flat wheels in 4 months. However, besides that it is an excellent car. I do think that they can have a digital speedometer. Comfort is excellent and so is performance.

It is a gray glc with black interior, CarPlay, keyless touch, and a big trunk.

I absolutely love my car. It has so many great perks and amenities! I ride in it all the time and have never had any problems with my car. I recommend it to anyone with a family who wants a nice SUV. The seats are comfortable and useful in reaching different lengths of the pedals. It has a large trunk and lots of room to make road trips.

The only interesting detail I can think of are the led headlights.

My vehicle is beautiful inside and out with leather interior.

The Mercedes Benz glc 300 is a smooth drive but pretty expensive for what you get, interior is pretty luxurious and luxurious cup holders. The wheel is extremely beautiful which is what people seem to love. Sound quality is to die for and the sunroof stretches to the backseat and opens. You can sync your phone to the screen through the second cord attachment in the front seat middle compartment or using Bluetooth.

Mercedes Benz glc 300 review.

Jessica P on August 12, 2019

The style is amazing and I love the trunk space.

The car runs very smooth but it does have automatic engine where the engine will turn off when the car is stopped and I can't get the engine to stop turning off when the car is stopped at a red light. The comfort is amazing, and the sound system is the best I have ever had in a car.

Mercedes-benz glc class overall performance was a great experience.

The performance of my vehicle was super awesome. The speed, gear, acceleration and semi automation was a top notch. But the only problem I have was with the engine, it was supposed to be hybrid with less gas combustion. Other features are good, the interior looks perfect. I love it is overall quality and performance.

Very intuitive design and details.

Good smooth ride. The car seems limited on extras but that may be because we bought it barely used. Very comfortable and very intuitive. All the controls are within a user's fingertips. The online app that shows gas tank, tire pressure, and multiple other pieces of data is quite useful. You can also start the car and lock the doors from the app on your phone. It is a good crossover/SUV vehicle and not too big for a car person like me.

More console room needed. Find my key app would be great!

I have a 360 degree camera.

It's very safe and comfortable. It's great whether you are scooting around town or going the distance. Never get tired of driving it. I feel like it's a great car for young adults as it's a bit bigger than a sedan but smaller than an SUV. The midsize is definitely the right size for me as a student.

2019 mb glc 300. It is worth every penny!

Natalie C on December 13, 2018

Mercedes pros and cons of the glc.

Vehicle is great runs smooth I just wish it had more space in the backseat as trunk. I wish it had a touch screen as well. The seats are comfortable and the seats heat up which is a nice feature. It is also higher off the ground which is really. Useful than those smaller coupe cars.

Dan G on November 30, 2018

Overall the vehicle is spacious and looks great.

I like the way the vehicle handles and drives. It also has different dynamics that the motor can be switched to for increased performance. I like the upgraded look of the interior. The upgraded stereo system is amazing. I do not like the smell when the ac is turned on in the summer. It smells sour for a little while for some reason.

Danielle N on November 29, 2018

Midsize with all the bells and whistles.

I love my car. I have always driven large SUVs and decided to go midsize this time around. It is easy to handle, has more than enough room for all my daily tasks. It is absolutely great on gas and it was one of the few midsize SUVs with a surround camera and parking assistance which was very important to me. I park inside my garage and it can get cramped but with the cameras I never have to worry about dinging my car.
