I've come to know our long-term 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 4Matic pretty well over the past six months. The GLC's stay with us thus far has been largely uneventful, but the 11,000 or so miles traveled from behind the wheel have given me a certain appreciation for some of our GLC300's features and...

I remember the day I discovered people had weekend cars. My childhood friend Greg Dorris casually let it slip that his dad had a weekend car stashed north of the city in New Paltz, New York. It was hard enough parking one car in New York City. Why bother with two? A few weeks later we piled...

Mercedes-Benz has issued a massive recall affecting more than 354,000 vehicles from the 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, some of those cars may be at risk of catching fire. The problem with the vehicles is electrical in nature...

The GLC43 nearly succeeds at being all things to all drivers, but the style, tech and performance come at a cost. If the concept of a high performance SUV seems like a contradiction in terms to you, a crossover coupe takes this mash up of disparate concepts a step further in an attempt to make...

The day after lapping the Mercedes-AMG GT R around the Algarve International Circuit near Portimao, Portugal, Mercedes flipped me the keys to the AMG GLC43 Coupe for an hour-plus tour around the hilly countryside. Nothing too extreme or unusual - just the sort of back roads you might end up on...

The junior AMG engine has been thrown in to Merc's brand new GLC-Class Coupe. Does some AMG trickery make it a serious contender, or is this an AMG too far? You have to admire Mercedes-AMG. If a car has a three-pointed star on the nose, at some point they'll throw a big engine in it, give it...

Remember when skinny jeans re-emerged a few years back? Largely out of vogue since their heyday of the '80s era, when punk and metal scenesters adopted the calf-hugging denims as a reaction to the elephant-bell-bottom jeans of the 1970s, their home-crafted origins often resulted in what appeared...

Slated to go on sale in the US from 2017, the all-new GLC Coupe has just hit the assembly line. Joining the manufacturer's SUV lineup with its sporty rear end inspired from the one of its larger sibling, the GLE Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe rivals the likes of the BMW X4 and bets on its...

Well, this is more like it. When the Mercedes-Benz GLK was introduced in 2010, it was a bit underwhelming. Inheriting the tall, upright appearance of the popular G-Class, its similarly boxy build endowed the cabin with the illusion of space, which was noticeable by its absence. A compact luxury...

The old GLK-Class was a good little luxury SUV, but it was never quite sure of itself. Its boxy design didn?t really gel with the rest of the Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup, with the possible exception of the completely unrelated G-Wagen. It was originally marketed to Sex and the City fans but then...

What's New for 2017 For 2017 the GLC300 is joined by the high-performance Mercedes-AMG GLC43 model. It boasts far more horsepower (362) and a variety of suspension, steering and brake improvements. There is also a GLC-Class Coupe that is reviewed separately. Introduction The 2017 Mercedes-Benz...

Mercedes-AMG has revealed the 2017 GLC43 ahead of its official unveiling at the 2016 New York auto show. The GLC 43 is the first AMG model in the GLC-Class lineup and will slot above the GLC300 and offer superior performance and handling thanks to extensive changes to the car?s suspension and...

The latest OM 654 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder debuts in the Euro-spec 2017 E220d this spring, and sometime later in the U.S. (with a higher numeral, due to our hubris over engine size). It replaces the OM 651 2.1-liter diesel in service worldwide since 2008, although our time with it...

This is the car that killed the wagon. "Whoa!" you say. "Bullshit!" Oh no, friends. No bullshit at all. I love wagons. I've lusted for them, enjoyed them, planned horrendously impractical builds for them. I still do. But this high-riding concoction called the Mercedes GLC punches all the...

We already had a chance to take Mercedes-Benz?s new GLC for a spin and found it to be a very impressive vehicle. With a roomy interior that?s easily the best in class, a powerful engine under the hood (and more potent units to come), and ride comfort that?s comparable to the impeccable C-Class...
