Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC comes standard with blind-spot monitoring, active parking assistance, automatic high beams, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and active braking assistance.
• Infotainment: Mercedes’ latest third-generation MBUX infotainment system with a center 11.9-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay.
• Fuel efficiency: The GLC 300 SUV with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or GLC 300 4Matic all-wheel drive (AWD), plus the GLC 350e 4Matic plug-in hybrid. The foundation of them all is the brand’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine situated longitudinally under the hood, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. While it’s no firecracker like in its sibling the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43, this turbo-four produces 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque in the 300, whereas the 350e’s output is a tad lower at 201 hp and 236 lb-ft. These specs might not seem like much upon first glance, especially considering the GLC’s curb weight hovers around 4,200 pounds. However, the 300 receives a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that chips in an additional 23 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque under certain situations—such as pulling away from a stop light with haste—which enables a 6.2 second 0-60 mph time. At the core of the 350e’s more substantial hybrid system is a 23.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack and single electric motor that contributes an extra 134 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque—combined output is a very healthy 313 hp and 406 lb-ft. But the 350e mirrors the 300’s 0-60 time as it carries 1,100-or-so additional pounds. Power always felt just right when driving around town and on the highway. The GLC may take a little over six seconds to hit 60 mph in either powertrain configuration, but our 350e felt noticeably more expeditious where it counts: it quickly got up to 40 mph on city streets, and passed cars with ease on Los Angeles’ famously stressful freeway system. This is thanks to the substantial added torque provided by either trim’s hybridization. Just right encapsulates the GLC’s ride quality, steering, and overall handling, too. It soaked up all kinds of road imperfections quite well—despite our tester’s massive 20-inch wheels—and felt overall solid, with no floatiness or vagueness. Steering was very light and manageable at low speeds, and it gained reassuring weight once cruising along. Fast movements on the highway and atop winding mountain roads were followed by great overall vehicle composure, indicating that the GLC would serve well for both road trips and reaching distant campsites deep in our nation’s national forests. For a high-sitting, non-performance SUV, body control was very good, too, and when mixed with its low-end torque, made it fun to drive in the twisties. Braking performance was perfectly adequate in any scenario, as was our 350e’s use of regenerative braking. Its intensity can be altered via the steering wheel’s paddles; we typically kept it on its most intense setting to prolong its impressive 54-mile electric range as much we could. When in Hybrid mode, it prioritized electricity over internal combustion, and there was even a detent in the gas pedal as easy reference for when the engine would fire up and help out. We liked this a lot—electric-only was generally adequate, however, for steep hills or especially spirited highway merges, we pushed past the detent to ensure we had the whole 313 hp and 406 lb-ft at our disposal.

What Mercedes-Benz GLC do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz GLC years with the most listings are 2025, 2026, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to draw the most attention because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, color, and price. They also usually reflect the newest versions of the model, which helps keep shopper interest high.

What is the Mercedes-Benz GLC's resale value?

Most model years are posting double-digit or near-double-digit price declines, which creates better opportunities for used buyers. The newer years are also moving down meaningfully, so recent-model shoppers may find stronger value than they would have a year ago. A few years are falling a bit less sharply than the rest, but the overall pattern still points to broad softening across the lineup.

The 2017, 2023, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz GLC now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −10.1% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −11.61%.

• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $48,165. The Mercedes-Benz GLC offers a polished cabin, strong comfort, and a premium feel that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Mercedes offers the GLC 300 SUV with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or GLC 300 4Matic all-wheel drive (AWD), plus the GLC 350e 4Matic plug-in hybrid. The foundation of them all is the brand’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine situated longitudinally under the hood, and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: As part of Mercedes’ latest third-generation suite of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, steering wheel, climate control, and infotainment controls are almost all haptic, the exception being a couple of actual, press-able buttons.
• Safety: Our tester was also equipped with the much more extensive $1,950 Driver Assistance Package, which included adaptive cruise control and steering assist with stop-and-go capability, plus lane-change assist with automatic lane change, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, evasive maneuvering, and speed limit assist.
• Starting price: To hop into a brand-new base 300 model with RWD, it’ll cost $48,250.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
