About this vehicle
The Mercedes-Ben GLC 300 4matic compact crossover is the AWD model that sports a 255-horsepower 2.0-liter inline 4-turbo engine capable of 6.1 seconds in the 0-60 acceleration test, and reaches an estimated top speed of 149 mph. You’ll get middle-of-the-road average 21 mpg for city and 28 mpg for highway driving, and a full autonomous range of approximately 418 miles.
Different world markets have a list price, but the Mercedes-Benz US website is keeping the public in the dark about how much they’ll need to fork out for the GLC-Class — as of November 2021 its MSRP is still pending. But we suspect a starting price somewhere around $44,000, a higher base price for its class.

Forward automated emergency braking and front-collision warning.
