The GLC is one of the most important cars Mercedes makes, often its best seller worldwide, and the model that brings the star to the driveway of the suburban family. It replaced the angular GLK in 2015 with a softer, more luxurious shape, and the formula of C-Class comfort with a raised driving position and all-wheel drive found buyers in every market from Europe to China to the United States. A coupe-like version followed for buyers who value style over rear headroom.
The second generation, introduced in 2022, brought a cabin modeled on the C-Class, with a portrait touchscreen, four-cylinder engines with mild-hybrid assistance and plug-in hybrids with substantial electric range. AMG versions provide the speed. Reviewers praise its refinement and comfort; critics knock touch-sensitive controls and the cost of the options needed to make it feel truly premium. Diesel versions remain popular in Europe and some other markets, and the GLC is built in Germany as well as in China for local buyers there.
The bigger news is the new electric GLC, a separate battery-powered model built on Mercedes' dedicated electric architecture and introduced with an illuminated grille that nods to the brand's classic face. It sits alongside rather than in place of the combustion GLC and takes on the BMW iX3, Audi Q6 e-tron, Tesla Model Y and Porsche Macan Electric, while the gasoline car fights the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60 and Genesis GV70.
