Overview

What's New

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class gets a refresh for the model year. The compact crossover's exterior design gets a slight tweak thanks to new front and rear fascias, reshaped headlights and taillights, as well as a new double-slatted front grille.

On the inside, the GLC gets a dramatic makeover with more tech featuring the brand’s Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system, a 10.25-inch display, and a 12.3-inch display in the instrument cluster.

In addition to the new design, the GLC gets a boost in performance. It gets a 255-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The AMG GLC 43 and its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 also gets a bump in power.

Mercedes has also made changes to the GLC 350e plug-in hybrid, fitting it with a larger battery pack, a new nine-speed automatic transmission, and a more powerful electric motor.

Thanks to the changes, the new GLC retains its position as the benchmark at the top of the class.

Choosing Your Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

The GLC-Class is available in five trims: GLC 300, GLC 350e, AMG GLC 43, AMG GLC 63, and AMG GLC 63 S. Prices start at $43,495 including destination for the base GLC 300 and go up to $85,095 for the AMG GLC 63 S.

The AMG GLC 63 S is only available in coupe form. The GLC 300, AMG GLC 43, and AMG GLC 63 are also available in the sportier coupe body style for $2,750 to $5,500 over their standard counterparts, depending on the trim.

Engine Choices

There are four available powertrain options for the Mercedes GLC. There is the base turbo four-cylinder, the plug-in hybrid, a twin-turbo V6, and two versions of a twin-turbo V8.

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8AMG GLC 63469 hp479 lb-ft18 mpg
4.0L Twin-Turbo V8AMG GLC 63 S503 hp516 lb-ft18 mpg

All GLC models come with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard for the base GLC 300, but all-wheel drive is available for $2,000. AWD is standard on every other trim, including the coupe version of the GLC 300.

Mercedes hasn’t released U.S. specifications for the GLC 350e yet, but the improvements the automaker made should make it more appealing. The hybrid now comes with a 13.5-kWh battery pack that should increase range, but the EPA hasn't released official figures yet.

With more power than before, the AMG GLC 43 model should have wider appeal to those that don’t find the base model to have enough power, but the AMG GLC 63 and 63 S to have too much power.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

The five-seat GLC has below average cargo capacity for the segment. Behind the rear seat, the crossover has 19.4 cubic feet of cargo space, or 56.5 with it folded down. These figures are less than the BMW X3, Jaguar F-Pace, and INFINITI QX50.

The standard AMG models only feature 17.6 cubic feet behind the rear seat, while the AMG GLC 63 only gets 40.6 cubic feet with it folded down. The coupe models feature 17.6 and 49.4 cubic feet, respectively, and that further drops to 36.1 cubic feet behind the rear seat in the AMG GLC 63 and 63 S coupe.

To further boost safety, there are two packages available across the lineup.

The Parking Assistance Package ($1,290) includes rear cross-traffic alert, automated park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and a hands-free tailgate.

A head-up display is a $1,100 standalone option.

Connectivity

Every GLC model comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen display, MBUX infotainment, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, HD radio, and dual USB ports. Satellite radio is added at the AMG GLC 43 level, while the same goes for navigation on the AMG GLC 63. The GLC 300 coupe gets satellite radio.

On lower models, the Multimedia Package ($1,250) bundles the navigation system, live traffic information, and speed limit assist. A wireless charging pad is a $200 option.

CarsDirect Tip

The 2020 Mercedes GLC 300 should be enough for the majority of drivers. The fact that Mercedes lets you tack on a lot of the same high-end features that are found on the more expensive trims means you can go crazy with the options and get into something that feels almost as luxurious as the higher-priced models, as long as you have the budget for it.

The near-perfect luxury crossover. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class received a light refresh, improving upon what was already one of the best crossovers in the compact luxury class. Add to that a sporty coupe model and all the muscle you could ever want from AMG, and this might be the perfect rig.

But there are a few caveats that come with this near perfection. The coupe variant lacks headroom and is hard to get in and out of, and its pricier than many of its rivals.

All body styles stun. Roll up to any Mercedes GLC-Class and tell us it’s not gorgeous – seriously, from any angle. You can’t because there isn't a bad angle on this sharp luxury crossover. Even in the typically funky-looking coupe, it shines.

Inside, the GLC is just as stunning with its flowing lines and plenty of sportiness. Some buyers may find its cabin a bit too overbaked. For those poor souls, we direct them toward the more straightforward Volvo XC60.

This cabin is also bursting at the seams with standard features. This compulsory equipment includes leatherette upholstery, a 10.3-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

If you fancy a BMW X3, you’d better plan to pay or skip Apple CarPlay, as it calls for an $80-per-year fee after the first year. As for Android Auto, the X3 doesn’t even offer it on its teeny-tiny 6.5-inch standard infotainment display.

Realistic room for five. Many crossovers say they fit five passengers thanks to tiny center seats, but few can do so with relative comfort. The GLC-Class’ wide rear bench can fit three adults in the rear, and its 37.3 inches of rear legroom gives taller riders room to stretch out. The X3 and Land Rover Range Rover Evoque come up short in rear legroom by 0.9 inches and 3.5 inches, respectively.

Keep in mind, though, the GLC Coupe’s raked rear glass gobbles up a lot much headroom, making it tight for most adults. This raked backside and results in much smaller rear door openings.

The GLC is middle of the pack in terms of cargo space. The standard model offers 19.4 cubic feet behind the rear seat, which bests the XC60's 17.8. However, it trails the Evoque (21.5 cubic feet), X3 (28.7), and Lincoln Corsair (34).


Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class

Ride softly but carry a big stick. The big update to the GLC-Class, other than its light visual refresh, is a 14-horsepower increase under the hood. While the now-255-hp base engine may not be earth-shattering, its pleasing ride will impress anyone, especially with the optional air suspension and adaptive dampers.

While it may ride softly, the GLC-Class carries several big sticks in its AMG models. The AMG GLC 43 kicks things off with a relatively modest 385-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6.

The real fun starts in the AMG GLC 63 with its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that punishes asphalt with 469 hp. Move into the AMG GLC 63 S with 503 hp and 516 pound-feet of torque, and you’re one throttle stab away from being a DIY chiropractor – or needing one.

Few competitors come close to the AMG GLC 63 models. Only the 505-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio nips at its heels.

Final thoughts. The 2020 Mercedes GLC-Class is a something-for-everybody luxury crossover with its cloud-soft ride, wild performance models, sharp looks, roomy cabin, and impressive features. And for those who want more, the options are virtually endless and dress this compact rig up nicely.

That doesn’t mean the GLC-Class is the only crossover luxury shoppers should consider. Some buyers couldn’t care less about performance and measure their worth in fuel economy. For those buyers, there's the thrifty Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid and the XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid.

The GLC-Class also doesn’t give up all its luxury on a budget, as it starts from $43,495. The X3 starts from $42,945, the XC60 at $41,790, and the Corsair at $36,940.
