Mercedes GLC AMG

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 is better suited for drivers who prefer to luxuriate rather than raise their heart rates. Those seeking a more adrenalized experience will appreciate the separately reviewed AMG GLC-classes, which offer between 385 and 503 horsepower. The GLC coupe also exists for extroverted types. Despite making a humble 255 horses, the regular GLC300 is remarkably quick. Less remarkable are its uninspired handling and mediocre highway fuel economy. The BMW X3 is much better in both regards, and other compact luxury crossovers such as the Volvo XC60 are more capacious. In typical Mercedes-Benz fashion, the GLC’s interior blends magnificent materials and cutting-edge tech. While it’s more practical than the brand’s traditional C-class sedan, the 2022 GLC 300 is less engaging to drive.
