The overview

The redesigned GLC mirrors the C-Class redesign with the same cockpit. It also improves fuel economy and gains some interior room. It also brings an improved suite of standard active safety systems and optional driver assistance features including the ability to change lanes on its own. The standard 255-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine uses 48-volt mild-hybrid setup and we measured a commendable 26 mpg overall. Once past an initial delay, this powertrain wakes up and supplies a decent punch. The ride has an underlying firmness but is steady and the cabin is very quiet. Handling is agile but the brake pedal feels dull. Fit and finish is impeccable and the seats are very comfortable. In typical Mercedes fashion, the controls are distracting. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, and BSW and RCTW are standard.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
