2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class
Starting at $48.600

Highs: Posh cabin environs, looks appropriately upscale for the price, relatively quick acceleration.
Lows: Comfort-focused road manners won't satisfy enthusiast drivers, numb steering, overly complex infotainment interface.
Verdict: The GLC-class gets high marks for luxury, and its SUV shape provides more practicality than its sedan sibling.

Overview

While it shares its underpinnings with the C-class sedan, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class SUV serves a slightly different type of driver. The GLC300 is still fairly athletic, but if you're someone who values maximum driving fun, the C-class—or one of the AMG-tuned GLCs (reviewed separately)—is a better choice. What the GLC does best is cradle its occupants in a cabin outfitted with luxury features and plenty of tech, including an infotainment system with an 11.9-inch screen that rises upward from the center console in easy reach of the driver's right hand. All GLC300s are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower; a nine-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, but all-wheel drive is available as an option. The cargo bay behind the rear seats is more voluminous than what you'll get in the C-class, but the same could be said of many of the GLC's rivals, including the BMW X3, the Jaguar F-Pace, and the Volvo XC60. Still, the GLC's a well-rounded package that is worthy of a 2024 Editors' Choice award.

What's New for 2024?

The GLC-class was freshly redesigned just last year, so Mercedes-Benz has made only minor changes for 2024. SiriusXM satellite radio is now standard, and three new colors are available for the GLC's exterior: Moonlight White Metallic, Patagonia Red Metallic, and Graphite Grey Magno. A fastback GLC coupe and a high-performance AMG variant both launch this year, and both are reviewed separately.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class starts at $48.600 and goes up to $52.850 depending on the trim and options.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

All 2024 GLC300s are powered by a smooth-running turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. A 48-volt hybrid system helps augment the powertrain, which is good for 255 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is rear-wheel drive, and Mercedes’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is optional. The all-wheel-drive GLC300 we tested hit 60 mph in a respectable 5.6 seconds, which is slightly quicker than the last BMW X3 xDrive30i we tested. The GLC's road manners, however, are less engaging than the BMW's, with a focus on smoothness and isolation rather than athleticism. The steering lacks feel, but when pitched into a corner, the Mercedes can come out the other side just fine; it just doesn't entertain in the same way some of its rivals do.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The GLC-class’s cabin wears nicely chosen upscale materials and a modernized design with more interestingly shaped air vents on the dashboard and heavily digitized control of the infotainment and HVAC systems. A new steering wheel features touch-sensitive control buttons, which didn’t work particularly well in the C300 sedan, and all models come standard with heated front seats with memory settings and adjustable lumbar support. Ambient lighting, a power-operated sunroof, and a power rear liftgate are also standard. Like other Mercedes models, the GLC-class can be heavily optioned with a host of luxurious features, including a panoramic sunroof, illuminated doorsill plates, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and leather upholstery.
