The Mercedes-Benz GLC's dynamic abilities meant it had no trouble handling British B-roads and sweeping corners so it was an attractive buy here from day one – and it’s even more tempting now as a used car
The GLC’s specification hierarchy originally started with SE. This got you 17in alloy wheels, climate control, electrically adjustable front seats, a powered tailgate and Mercedes’ Comand infotainment system with a 7.0in central screen controlled by a rotary dial on the centre console.
Sport introduced heated front seats, Garmin sat-nav, parking sensors and LED lights, while AMG Line added sporty touches including 19in alloys and sports suspension. The trims changed as part of the facelift. The post-2019 range starts with AMG Line, featuring 19in wheels, sporty bodystyling, Thermotronic climate control and Mercedes’ new MBUX infotainment system, which is very impressive but not as intuitive to use, because the dial was ditched for a trackpad.
AMG Line Premium cars benefit from 20in wheels, running boards and ambient lighting, while range-topping AMG Line Premium Plus trim adds a panoramic roof, keyless ignition and parking assistance.The GLC is also available in Coupé form with a sloping rear. All equipment levels and engines are the same, but the boot size is slightly different. It’s 550 litres in the regular SUV and 500 litres in the Coupé.
