2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 GLC is offered in the GLC 300 and AMG GLC 43, with each distinguished by its powertrain. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the base GLC 300 produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque; rear-wheel drive is standard, though you can get all-wheel drive by opting for the 4Matic version. The AMG GLC 43 employs a high-performance version of this powertrain — making 416 hp and 369 lb-ft — and comes standard with AWD. Both engines utilize a 48-volt mild hybrid system and are matched to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Keep reading for our editors' rundown of each trim's significant features and the major options available.
Which GLC-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?
For most buyers the standard GLC 300, which is available with rear- or all-wheel drive, is the right choice. We also think adding the Exclusive package (premium sound system, surround-view camera, navigation) is worth it on the base model. The AMG version isn't strictly necessary unless you have a true need for speed.
