On paper is bonkers. All the mechanicals, trch & innovation is MOST DEFINITELY a nightmare to fix and very costly Mercs are Mercs. This won’t sell very well. Just because it have a n AMG badge, this doesn’t deserve it’s badge as the V8. MB already lost AMG loyalty and enthusiast customers when they reduced displacement down to a V6 turbo. With an inline 4 turbo and electrified, they can kiss them all goodbye. The only buyers to these amg 4 bangers will either be dummy101s with cash to burn until before it warranty is out or suits who are posers who don’t want to get there hands dirty or pass on the problems to the next possible driver-owner

Alex, I would plug it up if I owned it. Here’s why. It’s true you won’t get a lot of electric range because of the way the EPA does the range estimates. However, the electric motor can assist more instead of being charged more, causing a drain on the gas motor. So if you plug it up every day, you can be in assist modes more often, charge modes less often. So you will literally get higher MPGif you plug it up every day, even if you won’t technically get any higher range. Hope that makes sense!

The only thing i dislike about this is the lack of ev range. This should have the ability to use the electric only for at least like 20 miles. Sure keep the battery above half charge, but at least let people get some use out of the plug
Everyones talking repair bills. I see this as a lease and dispose machine. I keep it for the warranty period and hand it back when im done. Its a toy that is street legal.

If they weren't going to throw a V8 in there (and C63 and E53) then they probably should just make those cars EVs. They'd probably weigh less than these plug-in hybrids and you can crank out 1, 000 hp from an EV. Even the 443 hp inline 6 probably could have made a GLC53 and weighed a lot less and been just as good if not better to drive and cheaper on maintenance and more reliable.

It's amazing how much effort automakers are putting into avoiding EVs. They would rather add 2000 extra parts than go EV. And they don't even make any money off the consumables. I think the oil companies should be paying all the fines when they don't meet emissions goals, not the automakers. The car doesn't have emissions the fuel does.

Very informative and as always entertaining review. I would give this a good score when after 5 year time we won't hear many blown engines off this car. It is a lot of stress on a 2L engine and there is nothing any engineer can do about it. Power to displacement is overly high, hence stress.

Is this even a PHEV if you can only go a mile on electric range And the fact that it has more power combined than a lot of sports cars from a 2 liter engine is even scarier. A rolling problem.

Really, the craziest thing you have driven so far this year It's only the 10 today, and when you posted this, it was only the 9th. Just kidding, sure would like to take it for a test drive.

I don't get the 1 mile EV range. There is no way the car burnt through 6. 1 kWh of electricity in 1 mile. 6. 1 kWh should be good for at least 20 miles on most EV; even Hummer EV is more efficient

I’m surprised you said those cheap reflector cost cutting headlights are the best in the segment Those aren’t even the upgraded lights which is wild they’re not standard on the glc 63

To me this will be a disaster for our pockets there is too much going on under the hood many of us including myself will prefer a more simpler power train and delivery

I don't see why anyone would get this over the X3M. maybe except for looks. BMW ruined the design of the new X3, we can only expect worse styling from the next X3M.

Too complicated, too much to go wrong, too expensive when it does. Ok if you have plenty of money and are happy to live so long with the car in the workshop.

This is an example of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Still basically no EV range, paltry fuel economy, and incredible weight. Wow.

Colossal failure for Mercedes. The C63 and GLC63 will go back to the V8 in 2026-27, hopefully. This is too complex, too heavy and and has no character.

Something that drives me nuts about mercedes is this is the top model of the GLC and you still have to pay extra to upgrade the headlights.

This thing will become the new hot thing on LeaseHackr for the deal hunters looking to brag about the biggest discount they could get.

All that interiors missing is glitter. On the other hand, the exterior looks like it was a leftover design from 1990. Very bizarre.

Since new car prices are based on residual values, and the residual value would be near zero, i cannot see this being priced over $25k.
