5 reasons to buy the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC300

1. Range of powertrain options

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC300: Engine | CarMax

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class offers four powertrain options that let you express your driving passion on the open road. A 255-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission is the 2020 Mercedes GLC300's base powertrain. Rear-wheel drive comes standard or there is a GLC300 4MATIC® version, which includes all-wheel drive for optimized wheel torque and traction. If you are a performance enthusiast looking to get a Mercedes AMG SUV, you'll want to consider the 2020 AMG GLC43's turbo 3.0L V6 with 385 hp or the AMG GLC63's turbo 4.0L V8 with a sizzling 469 hp. Available mid-2020, a GLC350e plug-in hybrid will also be offered and include a turbo 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 90-kW plug-in hybrid electric motor that has a total system output of 315 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.

2. Exceptional performance

Whether you are craving a luxury SUV with Autobahn-worthy performance or a family-hauler with good fuel economy, the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV has plenty to offer. When equipped with the turbo 2.0L engine and nine-speed automatic transmission, the 2020 GLC300 4MATIC returns an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway—and that's with all-wheel drive!

If you're looking for potent acceleration, the 2020 AMG GLC63's turbo 4.0L V8 will knock your socks off as it goes from zero to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. This model also boasts an advanced adaptive air sport suspension for precise handling stability, as well as a limited-slip differential.
