Just last year, the Mercedes GLC, one of the brand’s most popular offerings, was given a full redesign! With competitors like the BMW still lacking a new generation, is this GLC the best in segment to buy? Keep reading to find out and watch our full YouTube Review linked at the bottom of this article!
What’s New for 2024?
- Sirius XM Standard
- New MANUFAKTUR Colors: Moonlight White, Patagonia Red, Graphite Gray
Trims and Pricing
MSRP
GLC 300 RWD: $47,100
