Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class 2023
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar had this to say at the time: The Mercedes-Benz GLC300 4Matic is a gorgeous medium SUV that should suit a lot of families. The cabin is practical and the boot space a really good size. I like its driving performance and how it's not as thirsty as I thought it might be. You get so many features but the initial outlay and on-going costs are steep compared to its rivals. Still, I really like how it handles and it earns an 8.0/10 from me.

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2460 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Check out real-world situations relating to the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Can I put 22-inch wheels on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC?
The law in Queensland suggests (because it’s not totally clear from the website) that you can fit larger wheels, although I couldn’t find a definitive limit to how much bigger you could go. But, the rules also state that the overall diameter of a replacement tyre on a car like the GLC 220d can be no more than 15mm more than the tyres fitted as standard to that car. So, while that suggest you could go up to 22-inch wheels (from the standard 20-inch wheels) the tyres fitted to them would have to be a much lower profile to keep within that 15mm diameter increase requirement.
This would have a fairly big impact on the cost of the tyres when you need to replace them, but also on ride quality as you’d be sacrificing a lot of sidewall flex with the lower-profile rubber. And there are other considerations: The replacement tyres can not be more than 1.3 times as wide as the standard tyres, must not protrude from the wheel arch at the straight-ahead and must maintain speedometer accuracy.
The best advice is to buy the new wheels and tyres through a proper tyre specialist who will be able to give you the full story on what’s legal, what’s not and what’s advisable. Plenty of car owners have discovered the hard way that the wrong replacement wheels and tyres can ruin the driving experience.

Mercedes-Benz GLC200 and GLC300: Are the Australian engines mild-hybrids?
You’ve hit the nail on the head Alan. The 48-volt mild-hybrids weren’t taken up by M-B Australia, purely because the plug-in hybrid GLC300e will have a bigger battery than before (for more range) and is a better fit with where the brand is going in this country. Watch out for the plug-in GLC in showrooms in the second quarter of this year.

What's the towing capacity of a Mercedes GLC with a 100kg ball down load?
All Mercedes vehicles are tested in Europe and issued Type Approval certificates for each regulation. The relevant Type Approval certificate for GLC states that the maximum download is 100 kg. The masses and capacities in this certificate are used for the Australian certification to GCM, towing capacity, dimensions, etc. Without local testing facilities or engineering department, the company must use the European figures, and cannot rerate vehicles locally.

Australian towing capacity for GLC 250d?
We asked Mercedes-Benz for an explanation and a spokesman told us that the GLC SUV tow rating has always been 2000kg, which is what is reflected in the company's technical documentation delivered with the car, and on the Australian website.
The overseas rating is 2500kg, which is what you may have seen on the German site.
The company doesn't adopt these numbers due to our local towing rules. As a result the towing rating for Australian-delivered cars is less.
