Used 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class for sale near Oxford

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC is part of a generation of the mid-sized premium SUV that was first introduced in 2015. It was Mercedes’ response to the growing popularity of mid-sized SUVs and intended to offer an alternative to the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. As is often the case with Mercedes models, there’s an enormous variety of specs and trim levels, including petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid power, as well as powerful performance-focused versions from AMG. Whatever GLC model you’re looking at, though, it’s likely to be stylish, roomy and drive well – plus there’s the cachet of that famous bonnet badge.
## Strengths: The cabin is as classy as it is roomy
Good to drive
Optional air suspension improves comfort
## Weaknesses: Some owners report reliability issues
Fully loaded models are expensive
Plug-in hybrid won't match official economy figures unless it is recharged regularly
## Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC better than the 2017 Audi Q5? A 2017 Audi Q5 is based on a somewhat older design than the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC, but it feels solidly built and impressively upmarket. Nevertheless, if you’re after a car with more up to date styling and technology, the Mercedes is probably the car to go for at this point.
