- This is the all-new Mercedes GLC!
Having first been introduced back in 2015, the all-new GLC is here, and it has competitors such as the Audi Q5 & BMW X3 in its sights! The question is, are there enough updates and changes to grab your attention?
In terms of looks, the new GLC takes a number of design cues from the C-Class. But then again, that’s no surprise, given it’s effectively an SUV version of the popular saloon! As a result, it comes with swooping tail lights and a generally good-looking rear end (even if it comes with both fake exhausts and vents)! The side profile is pretty sleek and sporty, while there’s a bigger grille, two Mercedes badges, and if you choose the AMG-line edition, a pretty sporty front bumper.
It’s more of the same on the inside, with the cabin proving to be super stylish. There’s a massive infotainment screen in the centre of the dash, along with soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout the car. The air vents are well laid out, and the seats are super comfy. Overall, it doesn’t get much better than this when it comes to mid-sized SUVs.
When it comes to performance, there’s a choice of diesel, petrol and plug-in hybrid engines to choose from. The range-topper is the 2-litre turbo petrol PHEV, which delivers 313hp. They all come with 9-speed gearboxes and four-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid can also drive for up to 80 miles on electric power alone!
There’s one key feature you need to keep in mind, however… The new Mercedes GLC starts from £52,000! That’s more expensive than the key competitors from BMW, Audi and Porsche! So should you choose this SUV over the competition? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 or Audi Q5... Which is best?

The Mercedes and it looks way better
Man I miss old carwow titles in which he properly mentioned the name and model of the car instead of this
It’s probably to target the algorithm to get more views, but oddly enough I felt like the views were higher back in the day than it is nowadays
They tend to change the title after a few hours
I’m confused, he says the glc and it’s the 300e and then tells you the different trims? So I’m not sure what you mean?
Clickbait 👍
thats exactly what clickbaiting is about though, I don‘t enjoy going through a 30 sec ad just to know what car he‘s reviewing either
While watching this video, I thought that someday Matt will leave his job in the carwow and we won't see him anymore. That's making me sad, because I really like the way Matt behave during filming these reviews. I don't know how old is he but he still simple, funny and cheerful like child on these videos. Thanks for your job and take care of yourself man)
Matt owns carwow
Enjoy the moment 😢
@@voicevy3210Yeah no he’s not unfortunately. He’s the “Chief Content Officer”
@@Lelantos_ oh ok
@@Lelantos_ I thought he has shares or was promoting it not long ago… but more interesting is Volvo has an ownership stake in carwow according to Wikipedia.
I love these old school carwow reviews probably more then the drag races
A 2 litre diesel with 292 BHP... just let that sink in for a minute... utterly insane!
Earlier 3 litre engines couldn't even produce 250 hp like 3.0 Tdi etc
It's just great how engines of small capacity are making so much power
@@adarshshastri8337 But how long will that engine last with that much power coming from such small capacity.
@@jordikorthals003pretty long id say … i had a mk6 golf gtd with 250 hp without any issues for a year and it already had 252 thousand kilometers on it
I bet it'll do forty-odd mpg if used reasonably, as well. And they're banning them. That's where the insanity lies.
My 2.2 diesel E-Class has 136 horse power haha
Merry Christmas Matt, all the best to you, Car WOW and your loved ones. Keep going :-) We are here waiting.
Anytime I see Matt with a Stick in his hand.. I know a Mercedes is around the Corner 😂
All the car you would ever need for more money than you have ... so just pay monthly
All the car you ever need that you never actually own
Such is 2023.
or a VW
Fake exhausts, fake wood, fake leather, fake sound... Real money. We are really getting screwed these days aren't we?
GLC are great, had ours 6 years, feels very solid and secure
What will you buy next if you buy one?
still loving it and it owes us nothing, to be honest, even though I am not a new adopter, its the last ICE car we will own. Just looking at the complexity of engines nowadays, the days are numbered. A model Y would be the next move.@@surfer767
I love this new GLC. Great review too!
6:26. Mat's look of defeat was just pure gold.
5:20 Now this is proper consumer advice. Never seen Mat so determined.
In All My Years Of Watching Carwow, This Is My First Time Seeing Mat Pull Out A Manual😂😂😂😂. #Priceless
Big Shoutout To The Editor 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pricelessly epic actually.
16:45 made my day Matt! Fits the description of RR drivers pretty well lmao
I wouldn’t have let him through either, imagine I was texting someone or on TikTok, he might have crashed into me!
Mat is crazy 🤣🤣🤣... "T-Rex arms... Roaaar!" I really enjoy your reviews mate! Keep up the good work 👍
I likes the fact that he actually opened the manual rather than blaming the brand.
Didn’t hold back on this one,! Lol also, spot on about the surveillance with recording and cops not doing shit about it! I’m in New York and he is right about that!
Police do fuck all in every state now... protecting the rights of criminals and politicians. Much the same, really...
How do you make money?
thankyou editor, nice outtakes haha
Cheers Matt. All the best to you and yours for Christmas pal.
MATT! Loving the reviews at the moment keep the laughs going!
The intros have always being very good
Still want to know what happened to the Rimac stick of truth
He keeps it in the bedroom
@@-SP. * in his girlfriend
My life is totally changed because I've been earning $15,250 returns from my $4,000 investment with Allison Parker
I heard a lot about investing with Mrs. Allison Parker and how good she is, please how safe are the profit?
I traded with her, The profit are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet.
Yess!!! I saw someone a few videos ago asking for bloopers!
Yessssss more bloopers of Matt
Looks very stylish, I like what they done with the lights, but I cannot resist to see a coupe version!
there's a coupe spotted in camo, can't wait to see it 👀, sad the 63 model will have a 2.0 4 pot like the c63s tho💔
Don’t we all love a daily dose of watching carwow?❤️
Facts
Yes we do
no
Sometimes they try to clickbait us. That's bad behaviour.
@@MRQ. lol
Matt testing the creaky brakes with no sound and out of context is hilarious
The previous generation had creaky brakes as well, I thought that was a Tesla S/X only feature.
@@rossmyers8448 Lots of mercedes cars have the creaky brakes... And well, wth, lots of other brands have it too. Happened on my Honda and Toyotas too. They just dont put too much thought on it or something.
Mercedes rotors can’t be machined when calipers need new pads. You have to replace the rotors each time because Mercedes designs the calibers to carve a notch into the outer corners of the discs. If reused they will chirp like birds.
A very nice car. I am always afraid when i go on the manufacterer configurator . When i have choosen the engine and some options i am very far from the "starting price". I want to drive a nice BMW X3 before i get a clever idea of the feeling on the driver seat. Thank you MAT. Mat, i wish you the best Christmas as possible . Is it the first CHRISTMAS for your wonderful BABY ?????
The exterior looks really good and clean
Practical, efficient and luxurious.
and expensive
And slow
JUST NEED WOOD WORK IN THE INTERIOR
More tech-y than luxurious
@@averagecoolepicyoutubers1929 Justhow your mama likes it
When ever i watch mat reviewing car i just sit back and relax and chill
Yep. Always bring happiness too.
This was fun! Great review.
I am 6’5” and have really enjoyed my 2017 AMG 43. Unfortunately, I have very little legroom left with my seat position and cannot fit baby seats or carry adults behind me. Suggest switching out the brake pads for ceramics immediately after brake pad light comes on. You can avoid replacing the expensive rotors. The ceramic pads have very little brake dust. I have switched my service away from MB now that I am out of warranty and have saved a ton of cost. I would highly recommend as a used car if you have a non-MB mechanic available.
My wife's '19 GLC is the car that piqued my interest in considering a Mercedes to replace my tuned '09 WRX. I don't like SUV's, but I've been really impressed with the utility and design of the GLC. IMO, the only significant weak point on her '19 is that the suspension tuning is a bit under-damped. At 6'5", I find it very comfortable to drive. I swapped the OEM brake pads for Powerstop ceramic pads and have been extremely pleased! The ceramics tamed the twitchy/grabby brake pedal, eliminated excessive dusting, and provide excellent stopping power. They are also the first "modification" I performed on my '18 GLA45 AMG. Highly recommended!
Is there a specific way you found a Mercedes certified mechanic?
@@sparko58 No, I totally fluked out finding a mechanic that owned a 2005 SL which clearly indicated he was not afraid of MB and in fact liked working on them. He is also amazing at sourcing parts from unusual places and passes the savings along. Quite frankly, he is simply a good guy! Honesty is more important than competence in this game. Too many crooks in the industry! Dealers make most of their profits in the service/parts departments. Just stay away!
Can feel you bro, I am 6'10. Definitely not for me!
@@sparko58 Where do you live? Uk? USA? There’s a few good places the use Oem parts without the dealerships overhead prices!! Form $900 rear brake service to $530 at the local European car service with German brake pads and Brembo Rotors!! Not bad I would say!!
This is the only review I will ever need. Thank you Mat and carwow for this upload. Must say though, Mercedes have upped their game the past year with all their new cars and tech. I love that interior. Hopefully the GLA and GLB will get it as well.
a and b class has had a facelift so same thing should happen to the gla/glb it wouldn’t get the same as the glc
Hes paid by these car companies you know....
that interior is god awful
@@Presto_001 the Mercedes GLC has worse interior than even Tommykaira ZZ-S.
@@hxz GLC has worse interior than even ZZ-S coupe.
Yes yes yes yea yes !!!!!!!!!!!!! Matthew I’ve been waiting for this forever !!!!!! Yes my boy yes
8:05 love the blooper reel 😂😂
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
You've not even had time to watch the video 🤣
Agreed.
I can see the coupe version making headlines especially the AMG version. Insane design but I look forward to seeing the coupe
Finally Finally
I've been waiting for this video for soon long
Finally
I’ve been waiting ages for mat to review this car
The previous generation looked better
it's trash
No
The new Mercedes GLC is such a practical, efficient and luxurious family SUV!
Quoting mat.
Yep. But Pulsar GTi-R still better.
@@purwantiallan5089 what
the real question - is why on earth you'd go for an SUV
@@reyy1k think this is also a bot... or someone they're understanding of English is awful... or they're very stupid...
“The sound Titanic made….” Funniest thing you’ve said in 2022. Well done.
so true!!😂
Love the editor 💕
I love your reviews of these luxury cars Matt just brilliant ❤thanks glc is now better than Audi and x3 massage seats option hooray 😅for long journeys
Mat on fire today! Very funny! Nice car, but I would for sure chose a diesel without the hybrid system, if I had the money and have the full boot capacity.
Mat u r a legend mate and the carwow team🔥...when some other car reviewers are like flat reading the scripts( AUTOCAR INDIA) u guys r expressive, fun and original. That's the only reason I'm recommending carwow for everybody who wants a car review video. Nice work champs and keep shining. LOVE FROM INDIA🍻
In India some companies don't give the cars to the reviewer bro, they gotta read the script because they gotta look at there future or channel future. This case is not in Foreign country. Faisal khan reveal that one of his video idk maybe you have seen it. That Kia or Tata don't let you make video of it in showroom or something.
But same thing in dubai they want that you make video of it and help it...
Matt is a very old player and stays mostly biased because companies understand the problems and think to execute it and get the car whenever you want. not like here...
@@Sunnykr275 point noted 🍻
GLC is just a beauty to drive! I almost purchased one 2021 but got a Tesla model 3 performance. 🙃
My mom had Audi q5 tdi few years back then went to a macan.. then back to q5.
Love the audit but the new design of GLC is just amazing! I want it for my next car after the Tesla. Unless I can afford the model s. I just want a super comfy ride which the tesla falls short on with the 20 inch tires or is it the wheels. Idk but also wish it had air suspension! 😢
Thanks Matt. 100% agree all the way.
The leatherette "makes it seem expensive". It IS expensive!
Well, yes but there are cars that are expensive and don't seem expensive at all. Cough cough toyota and vw (50k for an ID.5 or 45k for a camry are they nuts)
@@shroomyesc No one pays 45k for a Camry lmao.
@@keynesianeconomics4113 Europeans have to. Toyota charges out the ass for their cars here.
@@shroomyesc That might be a reason why they dont sell shit. Still, you can get a brand new Camry for a lot less. 35k will do. For 5k more than what you claim you can actually get the posh version, the Lexus ES, which compared to the germans is bloody cheap.
Why do reviewers go along with manufacturers’ PR b*llox? It’s not “leatherette”, it’s plastic.
If Mat and Yanni made a TV series the likes of Top Gear (the old one) - They'd be the most watched auto show in history. The template has already been made. We just want to watch you guys in adventure tours. Maybe add another character every episode.
Pfffft😂😂😂
Me encantan tu vídeos Miguel. Es increíble como nos parecemos en la forma de pensar y la forma de vivir nuestra pasión que es el Real Madrid. También estoy casado con una maravillosa mexicana 😜 un loco!!
I'm starting to love this editor a little more
360 live camera should come standard in every car (and not to mention the camera rearview mirror)
In the future (it is so already in a lot of models/brands) these things are options you rent when they are needed(and pay per view). You download software etc.
No they shouldnt. I dont wanna pay a billion dollars for a million accessories I dont need.
* Matt gets a girlfriend *
Matt : you can't escape the stick of truth
😂😂😂
6:38 Best motoring journalism expressing their displeasure. Spot on.
Great video Mat!
Mat everything now looks a bit Meh on 0-60 after the murtry?? :P
Oh thank god, I was planning on buying the whole Mercedes range. THANK YOU for telling me that this is the only one I need😃. Joke aside lol, good video as always
Actually, I have bought the whole range and now I am here with a huge amount of depreciation because of Mat telling us that this is the only Merc we need.
Wish I knew it sooner :)
Very nice review, that covered every aspect I am interested in.
Very crazy ride, wish it was there 🤩🚀👏🏾
This makes my bmw ix3 feeling prehistoric. Going from a merc to a bmw, I miss quite a lot of features..including the pop out reversing camera and keyless entry...and lots more
Eh? Keyless entry on BMW too, at least all the ones I’ve had
I’ve just finished my configuration. PRICEWOOOOOW!!!!!😮
So what is the actual boot space of the plug in hybrid models? 400lt? (mentioned 600lt on the internal combustion engine models and then reduced by 1/3 for the PIHV)
Thing is that boot space capacity is measured from underneath the false floor to the parcel shelf. In reality you would not be able to use the space underneath in a efficient way anyway.
Oh no! I can’t by a new mercedes everyday now😭
Better buy one old one😉 I have two and wouldn't swap them for any new model.
You know it's going to be a nice car when the Burberry jacket comes out.
love u editor
The brake creaking bit had me in stitches, damm he's good
This suv got so many improvements compared to the last gen model. But something more nice comes with more price tho
GV70 and X3 are definitely more attractive than this and neither of them cheap out in the interior. Great review, can't wait to see the coupe update..
Jiral
Love my GLC but thankfully its got the analogue as well as digital controls.
Finally a better quality interior camera (the one recording Matt)
You should do a comparison between this, the Macan and the Formentor VZ3.
What about Macan, Formentor VZ3 and Pulsar GTI-R?
@@purwantiallan5089 pulsar what
@@purwantiallan5089 what's ur obsession with the pulsar 😂 commented before as well
Formentor is way smaller. Not really a fair comparison.
I think they over did the center console. I like how it looks its just has too much touchsceen and less buttons
Not disagreeing but on a positive note Mercedes still use physical buttons for ur heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel and the controls for the climate are always in the same place. Some other competitors are even worse having to dig deep for climate
💙LOVE THE NEW GLC💙
The intros never get old😂😂😂
Because I'm Mat Watson and you are watching carwow
We need a special Carwow drag race for Christmas!
Why?

@@devvcon2147 what about a drag race between GLC vs Pulsar VZ-N1?
@@devvcon2147 because....🤔
@@rasherbasher8203 Because because
Matt only appears to like Porche and Bmw at the moment. He recommends the Porche Macan. A car that is at the top of the most unreliable cars list for the extended warranties survey in the UK. I am sure loads of people own them and have no problems. Many people have tech and electrical issues with these cars as many other German Suvs made by Audi and BMW. If Mercedes bring out a fast Amg perhaps they can race it against a 10000 bhp dragster that does 3.9 seconds on the quarter and say it is slow.
thanks for making something new, much better
Carwow is the best car reviewing and drag racing channel ever!
That's what your programme says..
A front end only a mother can love.
why you insulting mothers?
What? I think this is literally the second best looking mid class SUV after the Macan. It´s absolutely stunning to me.
@@timonxDlol good from every angle except the front end. Those headlights are hideous imo. Looks like a failed BMW experiment.
I observed the same brake creaking with the new gle and the new e class as well (I personally own both of them so yeah it can get pretty Annoying and scary at times)
damn bro what do you do for a living
I have a 2018 E400 petrol a nice bit of kit a night edition which do you prefer? I am thinking of getting a gle
Same thing happens on my Audi S5 Coupé
I am wondering if this is caused by the tension of the brakes or by the S tronic 7 speed automatic gearbox? For me it feels like the DSG gearbox wants to keep pushing the car forward for just a bit too long and too early..
Have u found out a solution to this issue? Cause my glc makes this creaking noise, and its pretty frustrating
nice review, thanks. I like how you talk ;-)
35 seconds in and this is one of the coolest car reviews i've seen lol (and I watch too many tbf)
I have a Christmas gift for you 🎁🎁👆👆
I don’t really like the huge screen , old s class infotainment display looks better then this huge on.
I am currently waiting for delivery of GLC400e (with DC rapid charging ofc.),I don't know why you guys in UK won't be getting the range topping (best?) version. Its a shame.
Why the UK won’t get the more powerful GLC400e petrol plug-in or DC rapid charging I’ll never know.
To be honest, I personally think it’s just Mercedes being selfish and screwing over UK buyers on powertrain choices and equipment levels and keeping what we don’t get in the UK for other markets, as they always seem to do whenever they come out with a new model…
When you say "you're watching carwow "
But subtitles say"you're watching Carl wow "
😅😂
you changed the camera from inside looks really cinematic. nice
Dafuq are these car prices these days🤦♂️ a Q7 from 5 years ago had similar starting price...
I've seen a couple of the older videos. But this particular video set me over the top. I had to stop the video like it go to the channel subscribe turn on all notifications. Dude you're hilarious Thanks for the editing team.🎥 Videographer/ Camera person. You guys had me laughing. I do the same thing with the brakes. I have the worst GLC 2019. The stereo sucks! When you have had the burmaster The stock GLC is good enough for podcasts. 😣 I want the hybrid so bad. Plus it's a plugin 👍
For anyone that has the 2019 I would suggest that you put it in eco mode and use the paddle shifters in order to drive. Try to get the bright green circle! Be aware that you'll need to swap out the back set of tires after a while. This is because you'll be downshifting in order to achieve full green 💚🍏 at least that's what's been working for me 🖖🤙
I like the downshift in short tight turns...feels a little bit better going over crests.
Mat loves when he finally gets to wear his Burberry jacket
Mat never lets us listen to the sound systems😢. He should start playing some music in the cars with good sound systems.
You wouldn’t be able to get a good idea of the sound quality through his mic and the audio clipping on TH-cam anyway

that burberry jacket tho 🔥🔥
My dream car, love it!
I like this car! Over the years I have found that BMW interior materials tend to mark, wrinkle and break down much sooner than similar M-B materials (especially BMW's thin/crappy seat upholstery and carpets). These items are always made better in Mercedes Benz autos. BMW durability is plainly lacking, even though when brand new things might feel a bit softer. Actually they are just that much easier to blemish and show wear. I believe this M-B GLC has no equal in this size/price range. It will likely last quite a bit longer, cost less to maintain, and gives you that Three Pointed Star CURB APPEAL that all BMW's lack. Propeller emblem? - A joke by comparison.
Not really. Nowadays, reliability new BMW models is improving better and better compare to Mercedes. Even other luxury brands like Audi, Porsche, Lexus, Tesla and Volkswagen are also improving than Mercedes for reliability. Even Mercedes interior materials also uses cheap materials these days including Malaysia.
