![]() The bottom line: GLC 300 Canadian pricingĪ base 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 will set you back some $58,900 ( sans taxes and fees, of course). As a balance between the needs of hooligan like me and a Millennial Mom’s need for baby-seat sparing compliance, the GLC - at least a GLC outfitted like my tester - is one of Mercedes’ best efforts. Southern Ontario’s potholes failed to challenge it, and what few off-ramps we hustled through were handled with aplomb. Indeed, while the engine, as I mentioned, is no great improvement on old, the GLC’s ride is much improved. You can get some monstrously-sized 20-inchers, but, by all repute, they ruin the delicate balance between ride and handling, the GLC’s primary attraction while driving. Mercedes-AMG's newest GLC is a plug-in hybrid with 671 hpĬonsidering the GLC 300 - at least, this GLC 300 - wasn’t sporting an AMG badge, its 255/55R18 Michelin Primacy All Seasons seem an appropriate compromise between ride and handling.Alfa Romeo's new Tonale will start at ,995 in Canada.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Fuel economy may not be why people buy luxury cars, but it is what government regulators demand from new vehicles. Officially, Mercedes claims the GLC 300 is good for 10.0 L/100 km overall, and considering how nonsensically I was driving it, it just might be able to attain that. Nonetheless, that’s about half a litre per 100 kilometres advantage over last year’s GLC, and about a full liter per less than Maserati’s far more complicated Grecale Modena - its 2.0-litre turbo is similarly mild-hybridized, but it throws a way-trick electronic supercharger into the mix. ![]() I could probably have done better if I didn’t have such a leaden foot and had included more highway driving. I averaged a commendable 10.2 L/100 km whilst driving the GLC around Toronto. Article content The 2023 Benz GLC is pretty efficient ![]()
