Pros

  • Thrifty fuel economy (especially on GLC 350e)

  • Commendable handling and ride quality

  • Good size and cargo room

Cons

  • Buzzy engine note

  • Tighter backseat area

  • Complicated infotainment

Reviews Summary

The handsome Mercedes-Benz GLC compact SUV continues into the 2025 model year with a few revisions and a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant. The GLC shows us that a simple yet measured approach makes it a strong candidate up against compact luxury SUVs from Audi, BMW, Genesis, Lexus, Porsche, and Volvo. This review covers the non-AMG GLC models, while AMG GLC models are reviewed separately.

Verdict: The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-class is a handsome and compelling new car fit for most duties
