- AMG engineers drop a 362-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 under the hood, add an adaptive suspension with a performance bent, and dust the GLC inside and out with a liberal coating of sporty styling elements. What they’ve created is a unnaturally sporty compact luxury SUV with a near perfect blend of comfort, athleticism, and utility that are as at home attacking apexes as they are traversing interstates. Check out all the details!

I bought my wife the 2019 GLC43 AMG and it is a beast. It also has a great ride and traveling vehicle. Very pleased with the quality and performance of this SUV.
Congrats to you and your wife! Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective on this one!
@@RaitisRides I enjoyed your review of this SUV. Keep them coming.
My one arrives on Thursday 🙌🏻
Congrats Rob! You are going to love it!
We pick ours up tomorrow. Black on Black- loaded. Full optics package with adaptive LED lights. I didn't get the red stitching nor the red seat belts(felt out of place). We did get carbon-fiber center stack which my son loves. We also had to have the active exhaust as it has to sound good if its an AMG. The thing is crazy and I love the sound. My wife loved the heated steering wheel. Those wheels are 21" inch and come on summer performance tires. Looks wise that's the exact car we are getting.
Congrats! please let me know how it goes!
I thought your mom bought the car. So you are married with kid oh I see.
This my dream car
I love....I love....Iove....love, love, love. That is the extent of your ability to describe thing. You sound like a girlie boy.
......took delivery a month ago and so far so good. Just got the entire car ceramic coated and threw the winter boots on her. I am getting the door handles vinyl wrapped gloss black in 2 days. The interior of this car is boss. We got the leather seats because I quite like my fillings in my teeth(sorry Recaro). Wifey is loving that heated steering wheel. Sport + takes a minute to get used to as it simply does not like mild touches. It wants to go.... go..... go. This car is 70k and the 63 is 85-90k .This is the better buy but I am sure others will think differently. With a tune this thing is easily capable of 500HP. Its 0-60 is a smig below the 63 so around town I would take this over the V8. Track, hmm yeah I would take the 63-LOL. p.s. You don't have the exhaust on the car you are reviewing.
Thank you for your update! It is so great to hear from the actual owners! I am so happy to her that you are enjoying her. Keep me in the loop!
It’s fast! I did 0 to 60 in 4.1 to 4.2 seconds. It’s very fast and fun To drive. Put over 24k mikes already 😂 bought it last year. It’s super reliable. Check out my video under the name ayod orgu type GLC43 AMG 0 to 60
What tune did you use? My mom has this car and we want to beef it up a bit
Jared Macfarland hi no tune. When the car is properly broken in, it’s faster believe me. I got 24k miles
Jon Doe awesome thank you! We love the car
I really like these valve stems , they are real secure and nice....I really like these bolt in the door just really holds things together 🤦♂️
Hardy har har
I was looking for somebody to call that out 😂👍👍
I have same car and those are 21 inch rims not 20. Great review!
Congrats on your AMG, and thank you for the input!
How's the ride Quality I own a cla180 and the ride is way to firm how is it on the glc43? I want either this one or the coupe
elbalserito009 suv is awesome and ride very good. Drives like a sport car not SUV at all!!
@@jondoe1310does comfort mode feel like lexus?
If possible, try and get your hands on a 2018 gti to review. Would love to see that. Keep up the good work.
I will probably have one coming up next month! Stay tuned!
First time Tom making a cameo appearance :)
Justin Wong actually he has been in a few 😂
Once again you've knocked the ball out of the park. I have the 2017 c-300 and I'm looking at this vehicle for an upgrade. I like the way you get into it pedal to the medal . Keep up the great work
That is really awesome of you to say!
I would love to see the new inline 6 in this thing! MB, make an AMG GLC 53 happen!
That's the x3m for. Lighter quicker and torque
Lovely car, but plastic arches on a £60k car. I did chuckle when I went to look at one.
That is a very good point that you bring up! Thank you so much for watching!
You take your mate with you ask him for his opinion & hardly let him get a word in You talk too much let him “compete his say”
This got me subscribe your channel.
Shawn Joo that is so awesome! Thank you for joining the journey with me!
Glc43 Amg does crabwalk when you turn sometimes, usually when tires are cold it seems. And I’m not a big fan of the ticking noise it makes. I’ve been told they just do it and it’s fine but it’s a bit annoying. Other than that, I like the vehicle
What ticking noise ?
hoping to grab my wife one of these on Monday. Optics-illumination-park assist-21's. Blk/Blk-A great vehicle. Gonna tune it and make it a super sleeper. 450-500hp all day long. I figured I would pull the trigger on this for her(us really-family duty) and get me the 2020 STI- woot!! p.s. it's very quick...period !
Congrats! She is going to love it! I am really keeping my fingers crossed for 2020!
i stopped watching as soon as i see that iPad hangin in the dash...Macan GTS for me!!
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
A V so the Merc is more reliable than the Porsche? When the Merc breaks it’s less expensive to repair than the Porsche? I don’t think so.
You asked for feedback so here goes: whenever I watch these videos I always want to hear the reviewer's opinion on a car versus its competitors. Would definitely have liked to hear it here... :-/
Maybe if you have a section for that towards the end of each review? I also think a more measured tone when reviewing these cars (as opposed to fawning over all of them) would give your reviews more credibility. Will be on the lookout for more! Good luck.
Thank you for your feedback! The car passion part is hard to contain because that is the reason this channel exists is to share my passion with all of you. I like the Idea of the competitor comparisons! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!
@@RaitisRides Totally get you on the enthusiasm for cars... I share your passion! :)
Thank you sir!
Put more Tom in your videos - he's super yummy too! :)
Check out my latest Telluride video!
Performn amazingly.... I have one
Sweet
Morris Pontifect I’m so glad you like this one!😊👍🏻
Fantastic video as always!
That was when I was filming with my old camera gear!
At 8:23...MB designers got LAZY, tacking that infotainment screen smack dab in the middle. Even BMW added a bit more thought, putting it on top and making it visually a bit more interesting. the laziest and ugliest infotainment screen design of ANY vehicle...and this from a MB fan. Ditto for any C-Class... dealbreaker for me
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Don't know it this will address your issues but the 2020 model has a all new system.
This is def a quick SUV. Merc is def going up against the Porsche Macan.
I seen the GLC 250 on my local roads and imo it look gorgeous. Better looking than the Macan.
As usual the price is the downside.
195 grand for the GLC250 and 292 grand for the GLC43 AMG. ouch...
Lin Chester things are just getting more and more expensive. Damn inflation!
Raiti's Rides now cars here are taxed based on emissions as well so SUVs like this will be slapped an additional 20 grand on top of the street price.
Lin Chester that’s incredible
Lin Chester,
195’000 💵 ??
Where did you take the prices from ?
It’s more like 100k not 200k. 🧐
Good for a SUV What was redline @ ?
gen3v8 it’s 6,550rpm 👍🏻🏁
Exhaust sounds muted. Needs a performance exhaust upgrade deffo.
I totally agree with you! Thanks for watching!
in mu opinion a center console should be made out of brushed aluminum, looks better than that wood looking thing, even if its real wood
Is that big guns McGee?
Is it a good idea to lease one instead of buying one?
It really depends on how many miles do you drive each year.
Around 20k kms a year. I'm just worried about the maintenance after 4 years.
I would dump it after the lease term is over.
Hi Jancen,
never buy a brand new Mercedes.
I bought 3 years ago a GLE with 20´000km almost half the price.
And now i bought a GLC with 40’000km almost 4x cheaper than a new one. I was lucky to find a company car in perfect shape.
So if you find someone who has done all the services and did no scratches or any other dmg inside/outside the car then for sure buy it instead of paying 30k more just to be the first one riding the car.
In the end of the day no one else than your bank account cares if it’s new or not. 😊
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
@@xareovadi Thanks for the advice. How is the maintenance though?
That's one thing about Raiti he doesn't always get the specs correctly. He loves making videos though. lol
Anyone out there with real world experience when it comes to a flat tire? Extremely interested in one of these, but I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around these "no flat" tires or whatever they're called. From what I've read they'll run for up to 50 miles. Heck, a donut spare is better than that. And suppose you're out in the middle of nowhere at 1 am and you get a flat. What are you supposed to do?
Call the Mercedes-Benz Road Side Assist, then.
Sorry a V6 even with the bi turbo. Doesn’t come close to a V8. it’s just not the same. Don’t rev a V6. it sounds putzy
They are in two different classes kid, this suv is impressive for it's class in many different aspects. This isn't Forza, it's real life lmao. I have had supercharged v8s, twin turbo v8s, procharged v8s, turbo 4cyl, twin turbo v6, I respect them all the same. They are all special in their own way for sure.
Hey Joe, great overview as always. Hey, what watch are you wearing in this one?
micophone is bad
Please check out a newer review and you will see I've upgraded all equipment!
There must be a difference between US and European version. Your GLC doesen't slope at the back like a European version does. Or am I seeing things? Search YT for "Should My Dad Buy a Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe?" you'll see what I mean.
That is a really good point! Maybe it has something to do to crash safety laws.
@@RaitisRides That I don't know but my understanding of the GLC model was that is a coupe SUV style but with 4 doors.
Very good point! Thank you so much for watching!
Bazza because there are two models, a normal suv, and the coupe model, the coupe one is supposed to be more sporty looking while sacrificing trunk space and head room
@@olivermadej5838 I've just checked the Mercedes US site and I can now see the 2 models (normal SUV and coupe SUV) whereas the UK site which is my default shows only the coupe version. Thanks for your reply.
Mercedes Benz got a lot of beast cars I think more than bmw audi
Anderson Rodriguez I think Audi might of caught up a little with their RS line. Mercedes does have one hell of a lineup.😊👍🏻
Raiti's Rides Mercedes have a lot of vehicles
Anderson Rodriguez yes they do and I hate all the names that they have with letters and numbers. 😂
Raiti's Rides ik
Anderson Rodriguez 😊👍🏻
This guy is such a pointer lol
🗣This is my car ! 😍 she’s good to me 🖤
Really it’s reliable?
Does it have ambient lighting
Korea
Thank you so much for watching!
BRAH, YOU GOT A QTIP IN YO EAR
Cannot stand his voice.
Can't make everyone happy! Thanks for your feedback!
Nothing you can do to make people happy. We have nice and bad people obviously. There is a reason why we have haters and lovers. Why can’t people show love?
Jon Doe thanks for saying that! I really appreciate it!😊👍🏻
Wow asshole comment, he's fine
1080 and up only
Sorry Anthony this is an older review of mine.
A zonk
I’ll be honest you haven’t got a clue what your talking about “LIKE I SAID ITS A TWIN TURBO CHARGED V6” (Biturbo and Twin Turbo) are not the same thing!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
How are they not the same thing ? Mercedes biturbo is two turbos .
Tom can’t drive that.....if I were to pull up beside it expecting a hot soccer mom and saw his face???? I’d be 😢 lol
Yeah Tom with a wig doesn't work for me! LMAO
What does AMG stand for?
You ready for this?
AMG = Aufrecht Melcher Grossaspach (Mercedes Benz racing)
kg the great one say that ten times fast!😂
Raiti's Rides lol im good
Do you have a lot of knowledge of cars and Automobiles
kg the great one are you sure?😉
I had to rewind the video when you said twin turbo v6 but only 362 hp. My old 370 puts out 330 naturally. I expected you to say 400hp at least!!!
That was something that was a surprise to me as well, especially with it being an AMG model.
Your 370 only produced 330hp but to the wheels it is 270-275 whp.
killerkhalsa27 same goes for the Merc. It's not putting that much to the wheels
dannypitassy but the Benz is faster than your car.
Jon Doe yeah if I owned that 370z still, you could say that. But I own a gt350 Shelby now, so you can't say that.
