Model reviewed: Coupe 300 (2023)
Score: 6 / 10
“A little practicality is lost but otherwise, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe has all of the impressive attributes seen on the new GLC with a premium interior, refinement and a comfy ride. It’s extremely difficult to recommend the Coupe over the SUV model based on these qualities, however, and that’s before you get to the price tag.” (Alastair Crooks)

Score: 8 / 10
“The new Mercedes-Benz GLC appears to have improved in every area over the old model, but unfortunately you’re likely to incur a hefty price increase for this newfound ability. The GLC has class-leading technology on board and feels more premium, but perhaps most surprisingly, it drives as well as any of its rivals.”

Score: 9 / 10
“The most expensive version of the Mercedes-Benz GLC could be the best. The plug-in hybrid system is one of the best around, however it’s a shame the impressive technology, refinement and efficiency has caused the weight to shoot up. It’s an improvement on the old car in all key areas, so the GLC’s global success looks set to continue.” (Alastair Crooks)

Model reviewed: 2.0-litre petrol-electric plug-in hybrid 300 e AMG Line
Score: 9 / 10
“With this 300 e model, Mercedes has shown it’s capable of developing class-leading technology in the plug-in hybrid sector, while retaining that all-important focus on refinement. Plenty of rivals are more fun to drive, however, and with the firm pushing more towards the premium end of the market, the GLC’s pricing could be a tough pill to swallow.” (Alastair Crooks)

“As is often the case when SUVs become coupés, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé demands a premium over the standard car, adding almost £7,000 to the price. When you factor in the ride and the gearbox, that makes it quite hard to justify spending the extra over the standard car.” (Dan Jones)

“The Mercedes-Benz GLC costs from around £50,000. Pricey? Yes. But if you can afford it, it offers a broad range of qualities that few if any rivals can match, particularly in 220d guise.”

“Petrol plug-in hybrid version of the new GLC SUV adds impressive efficiency to the mid-size SUV segment at a price.” (Martyn Collins)

“It weighs a tonne or two, costs an arm and a leg, and is only partly electrified. But the new Mercedes-Benz GLC is roomy and nicely appointed, its ride is best in class and the driving pleasure is more C-class inspiring than SUV-like ponderous. And it is a *proper* Mercedes – evolutionary rather than ground-breaking, yet competent through and through.” (Georg Kacher)

“Just like its smaller sibling, the C-Class, the Mercedes GLC excels in almost every area and is a superb choice for company car buyers.” (Tom Jervis)

“The Mercedes-Benz GLC sits slap bang in the middle of the brand’s SUV lineup, and the new second-generation car should be a popular one. Classy, clever and with some impressive hybrid options, it’s only a shame that progress doesn’t come cheap.”

“The new Mercedes-Benz GLC will no doubt continue the model’s success. Majoring on space, technology and refinement, it also offers supreme efficiency from its long-range plug-in hybrid options. It doesn’t stand head-and-shoulders above rivals on the road, though, and there’s been quite a price jump over the old model.”

“There’s certainly plenty to recommend the Mercedes-Benz GLC, with the impressive electric-only range of the 300e beating rivals comfortably. We suspect plenty will love the techno-flash interior design and space for passengers is decent, too. However, while it’s comfortable on the motorway, there are better-driving SUVs in the class and bigger ones, too.” (Alan Taylor-Jones)

“Image is everything when it comes to premium mid-sized SUVs and on that basis, this second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC is a very desirable package. As an all-rounder, the GLC remains a tempting package. A segment benchmark? You’d have to say so.” (Jonathan Crouch)

Score: 6 / 10
“For the company-car driver with off-street parking and a home wallbox, the favourable tax treatment of the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 e and its potential fuel savings should offset the high price, though not by much. I quite like the GLC but, despite the technical virtuosity shown in this plug-in model, I’d prefer a ­diesel-engined version.” (Andrew English)

“From the outside, this expensive family SUV looks just another affectation of the wealthy, but underneath it’s quite a piece of work, with (in PHEV form) a long range in electric mode, decent economy, tidy ride and handling (at least in the cars we drove) and a comfortable and well-finished interior.” (Andrew English)

“The GLC is a great all-rounder that will slot painlessly into the lives of its buyers and provides a useful entry point into electric motoring. Of course, we’ll always say you’d be better off getting a nice C-Class estate,”

“As premium SUVs go, the GLC offers a good range of engines and a pleasant interior with plenty of space for occupants. It’s the plug-in hybrid versions with their huge electric range that make it stand out above rivals, though, especially for company car drivers.”
