I wasn’t looking for high performance — I just needed something for family use. The hybrid is definitely quiet and noticeably fuel-efficient. Acceleration is average, maybe just a little quicker than regular petrol cars at traffic lights. It’s not on the same level as German or American cars when it comes to materials, but honestly, that doesn’t matter much to me as long as the ride is smooth and the features meet my needs. The adaptive cruise control is great — not as advanced as electric cars, but good enough to reduce fatigue in traffic. I really liked the exterior design, and the 360° cameras are very clear and smooth. The panoramic roof is a bit of a hassle in the sun, so I ordered a sunshade online — hopefully, that will help. The electric seats with welcome function are comfortable, and the screen along with the HUD is excellent. However, the system doesn’t support some popular apps like navigation or music services, which is a downside. All the ports in the car are Type-C, which I find convenient. The sound system is average. The dealership didn’t give me a cash discount, but they compensated with fuel cards that should last a year or two. Sound insulation is decent and the suspension is comfortable, but the tire noise is a bit loud, especially when small stones hit the wheel well. I haven’t driven it much yet, but overall, I’m satisfied — especially since it’s my first car. Every car has its pros and cons; the most important thing is finding what fits your needs.

9I’m someone who likes a car to be practical and comfortable, so I was looking for something with enough space. Honestly, the GLC surprised me! The rear seat space is excellent, and the trunk is more than sufficient without any hassle. Sure, it doesn’t have a spare tire, but personally, I don’t need one—especially since it’s a daily-use vehicle. When it comes to interior design, Mercedes is always ahead. I looked at cars like the S90 and Q5 before, but I felt the GLC suited my taste more—especially with the natural wood trim instead of piano black, which gets dirty and scratched easily. The only thing I didn’t like about the interior was the speakers—they look very plain and don’t have any branding, so they feel like something’s missing. Driving the car is comfortable and stable. The 260 model with around 200 horsepower is more than enough for my needs, and I didn’t see a reason to go for the 300 model. I also test-drove the C-Class, but I found it too stiff and not comfortable, especially over bumps. Fuel consumption is currently between 8 and 9 liters per 100 km in the city, and since the car is still in the break-in period, that seems reasonable to me for a 2.0 turbo engine. What really bothered me, though, was the downgrade in features due to the parts shortage—especially the Burmester sound system, which they removed from all the new trims! I was planning to get it, but it completely disappeared from the catalog. On top of that, if you want to install it later through the dealership, they ask for over 30,000! Honestly, I’m thinking of going to an aftermarket shop and getting a good sound system installed myself. I moved from an old BYD to the GLC, and I can say honestly: no car is perfect, but the one that fits your needs is the best car for you. Sometimes you should look for what’s most suitable, not necessarily the most luxurious. And when you find a car that truly gives you peace of mind, you feel completely satisfied with your decision.
10Honestly, I really liked the car’s exterior and interior design. We have to admit that German engineering is truly top-notch—especially when it comes from established brands like Mercedes. Positives: On the highway, the car is incredibly stable. Sometimes I find myself going 140 km/h without even realizing it—it's a huge difference from my old car (which was an Accord). This time I ordered it with the "Burmester" sound system, and the audio clarity—especially for vocals—is amazing. The exterior design grabs attention—it has presence. And the interior ambient lighting at night creates an incredible vibe. The infotainment system is very fast; navigation through menus is smooth and seamless. Fuel consumption is low—when driving in ECO mode, it goes below 7 liters per 100 km, which is excellent for a car of this class. Negatives: The driver’s seat is a bit tight. At low speeds, there's some hesitation or jerkiness in the gearbox. It’s not annoying, but you do notice it. The standard features are very weak—Mercedes really makes you pay extra for everything: seat heating? Extra. Keyless entry? Extra. In-car fragrance? Also extra! And the strangest part is that a car at this price point doesn’t even come with a power tailgate! Plus, if you don’t choose the optional extras, they tell you “no ready cars, you’ll have to wait”—especially toward the end of the year.
