Top 3 GLC questions from Gilbert shoppers
GLC or GLE: which Mercedes-Benz SUV should I get?
Get the GLC if you mostly carry one to three people and want the lower price and the easier fit in a Gilbert garage. The GLC 300 starts at $52,400 MSRP, against $68,400 for the GLE 350, and the larger GLE has more room behind the second row, more power, and an available third row. If you regularly fill the back seat with adults or tow a boat to Saguaro Lake, drive the GLE back to back with the GLC. Our GLC vs. GLE answer page and family comparison go further, and you can shop GLE inventory.
Do I need 4MATIC® all-wheel drive in Arizona?
For Valley driving, no: the rear-wheel-drive GLC 300 handles dry roads and monsoon rain well, starts $2,000 lower ($52,400 against $54,400 MSRP), and gets 1 mpg more on the highway. Choose 4MATIC® if you drive to Flagstaff, Show Low or Colorado in winter, take dirt roads, or want the extra grip in heavy rain. Our guide to AWD vs. 4MATIC® explains how the system works.
How much can a Mercedes-Benz GLC tow?
A 2027 GLC 300 can tow up to 5,000 lb with rear-wheel drive and 4,409 lb with 4MATIC®, with the factory trailer hitch, according to the manufacturer data on our vehicle pages. That covers most personal watercraft, small boats and utility trailers. Ask our team to confirm the hitch is fitted on the GLC you pick before you buy.
GLC vs. BMW X3
The BMW X3 is the GLC’s closest rival, and the base engines are a near tie: the GLC 300 and the X3 30 xDrive both make 255 hp and 295 lb-ft from a 2.0-liter turbo. The X3 has more cargo space behind the rear seat. The GLC offers a rear-wheel-drive version that lowers the price of entry, a higher towing rating, a plug-in hybrid with an estimated 54 miles of electric driving, and a Coupe body style.

GLC SUV or GLC Coupe?

Choose the Coupe for the look; choose the SUV if adults ride in the back or you haul bulky gear. Shop GLC Coupe inventory.
