How much is a fair deal for a luxury SUV these days?

Quiet interior and great ride qualityNew Traffic Sign Assist needs refinement

The Mercedes-Benz GLC300 returns for its 2023 model year with a completely redesigned interior and exterior with more cargo space, a new powertrain, and standard equipment that collectively can't be found across its three primary competitors, the BMW X3 xDrive30i, Audi Q5 45, and Lexus RX350.

The 48-volt motor boosts power only intermittently. In our quarter-mile times and normal highway passing maneuvers, sometimes it came in, sometimes it didn't. We couldn't discern a pattern or condition that caused it to activate, and you'll likely only notice when you see the"Boost Active" message on the digital gauge cluster rather than feeling it.

The standard leather steering wheel and center stack are loaded with capacitive touch controls. In the past, these touch-sensitive controls in vehicles have been poorly executed, but they function well and are intuitive to use in the GLC. Some might not love the lack of physical climate control buttons, but drivers who take the time to learn the GLC's features might find a friend in the voice-activated MBUX infotainment system.

The Sport driving mode makes the GLC extremely responsive and does make it more fun to drive. However, in any driving mode, the initial pedal response is too slow from a stop. Whether you're pulling away gently or with the accelerator floored, the vehicle creeps forward for a second or two before actually taking off. It isn't slow enough to be dangerous, but it takes away from the performance feel.
