1. 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 (2.0T Rear-Wheel Drive)
- Base Price: $47,450
- MPG Combined: 29
- Drive Type: Rear-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 9-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 255
- Torque: 295 lb-ft
- 0-60: 6.2 sec
- Weight: 4,167 lbs
- Length: 185.7 in
- Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs
Unlike the cheaper GLA and GLB, which are based on a front-wheel-drive platform, the GLC uses a rear-drive platform that marks it as a more premium product. In the entry-level GLC 300's case, it's actually a rear-wheel-drive vehicle — Benz's 4MATIC AWD system will cost you extra.
2. 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC (2.0T All-Wheel Drive)
- Base Price: $49,450
- MPG Combined: 27
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 9-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 255
- Torque: 295 lb-ft
- 0-60: 6.2 sec
- Weight: 4,277 lbs
- Length: 185.7 in
- Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs
All-wheel drive does take a bite out of the GLC 300's fuel economy, but the cost is reasonable and the acceleration remains the same, so it's a pretty good deal if AWD makes sense for your climate.
3. 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43 (2.0T AWD)
- Base Price: $64,950
- MPG Combined: 21
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 9-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 416
- Torque: 369 lb-ft
- 0-60: 4.7 sec
- Weight: 4,553 lbs
- Length: 187.0 in
- Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs
The GLC 43 uses a highly complex turbocharged four-cylinder engine with hybrid assist to achieve its eye-popping output numbers. If you ask us, we miss the days when the AMG variant of the GLC featured a twin-turbo V6 engine or even (in the GLC 63) a truly awesome twin-turbo V8.
