Our Used Mercedes-Benz GLC Range Explored
Lets face it, the Mercedes-Benz GLC is one of the most popular luxury mid-size SUVs on UK roads today, combining the comfort and prestige of a Mercedes-Benz saloon, but with the raised driving position and all-weather capability of a 4x4.
First introduced in 2015 and updated with a second generation in 2022, the GLC is available as both a practical 5-door family SUV and a stylish, sporty GLC Coupe. So, whether you need that refined commuter car, a comfortable family cruiser, or a capable tow car, a used Mercedes-Benz GLC really does give you an effortless driving experience.
About the Used Mercedes-Benz GLC
Sitting between the compact GLA and the larger seven-seat GLE, the Mercedes-Benz GLC really does hit the sweet spot for size and everyday usability.
Easy to Park
It is easy to park and manoeuvre around town, for instance, yet still offers you plenty of head and legroom for 5 adults inside the cabin.
Interior Quality
Then, when you combine this with the soft-touch leather upholstery, brushed metal trim, and impressive soundproofing, all of which really do make your interior feel calm and relaxing on long motorway journeys as well.
Boot Space
Its boot space is also very generous, and that is across the range.
Depending on the model year you choose, the standard SUV boot holds between 550 and 620 litres of luggage with all 5 seats in place, while the coupe body style still provides plenty of room for suitcases, shopping, or sports gear.
The rear seats can also fold down in a handy 40/20/40 split so you can also carry longer items while still seating 2 rear passengers. Every GLC also comes with a powered tailgate as standard for easy loading too.
Engine Options and Performance
When browsing our used Mercedes-Benz GLC stock, you will find a wide choice of frugal diesel, responsive petrol, and clever plug-in hybrid powertrains available to you.
In fact, almost every UK model comes equipped with a smooth 9-speed 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox, and Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC all-wheel drive as well.
The Engines
The core engine and drivetrain features in the range suit a variety of driving routines.
2.0-litre Four-cylinder Turbo Diesel Engines
GLC 220d and GLC 300d
These 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel engines are a favourite for high-mileage drivers.
As here, the 220d produces between 170 PS and 197 PS depending on the model year, while the punchier 300d delivers up to 269 PS. Both of which offer you strong pulling power from low revs, impressive motorway fuel economy, and a braked towing capacity of up to 2,500 kg as well - perfect for large caravans.
GLC 300 Petrol
If you cover fewer miles or mostly drive around town, then here the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine produces up to 258 PS and takes the car from 0 to 62 mph in just over 6.2 seconds, and it provides you with a quiet, smooth, and responsive drive in doing so.
Plug-in Hybrid Options
Selected GLC 300e petrol hybrid and GLC 300de diesel hybrid models can also combine a traditional engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery.
Here, newer second-generation plug-in hybrids can also travel up to 80 miles on electric power alone as well, allowing you to complete your daily commutes and school runs with literally zero tailpipe emissions needed.
4MATIC All-Wheel Drive
4MATIC All-Wheel Drive and Agility Control are also standard across the vast majority of UK models; the 4MATIC four-wheel drive system splits power between the front and rear wheels to keep you planted on wet, icy, or loose road surfaces.
This is then paired with Dynamic Select driving modes, allowing you to adjust the steering, throttle, and suspension from relaxed comfort to sharper sporting responses at the touch of a button as you need to as well.

Trim Levels and Interior Technology
Every used Mercedes-Benz GLC also comes generously equipped as standard as well, so you never have to compromise on comfort or safety.
Here, for instance, while earlier models include the comfort-focused Sport trim, the vast majority of used examples on our forecourts are high-spec AMG Line versions, alongside rapid Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 and GLC 63 performance models.
AMG Line
The most popular trim in the UK, AMG Line gives the GLC a muscular road presence with 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels, sporty front and rear bumpers, privacy glass, and a diamond radiator grille.
Inside, you get heated front sports seats, a flat-bottomed leather steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting.
AMG Line Premium and Premium Plus
Stepping up to Premium or Premium Plus adds desirable luxury upgrades. Depending on the model year, these include a panoramic glass sunroof, a Burmester surround sound system, keyless entry and start, electrically adjustable memory seats, and upgraded Matrix LED headlights.
MBUX Infotainment System
For models from 2019 onwards, these will feature the clever Mercedes-Benz User Experience multimedia system.
This is then controlled via a sharp central touchscreen, steering wheel touchpads, or natural voice commands triggered by saying "Hey Mercedes". It also includes satellite navigation and DAB radio, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration as standard.
Digital Driver Display
On newer models, a high-resolution digital instrument cluster sits behind the steering wheel, letting you customise how you view your speed, trip computer, and full-screen navigation maps as you see fit.
Parking and Safety Assistance
Every GLC also takes the stress out of tight car parks as well thanks to a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, and Active Parking Assist, alongside autonomous emergency braking and cruise control features too.
