The costs as much as $58,900 for 2023, excluding freight, PDI and other fees. In the compact luxury SUV segment, only the Jaguar F-PACE and Porsche Macan demand more money.
To be fair, Mercedes-Benz has significantly updated the interior and the list of standard features. Every unit now comes with a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, 11.9-inch portrait-style touchscreen and wireless charging for smartphones. Furthermore, the packaging logic has been considerably simplified to reduce the effort of choosing from numerous individual options. Of course, where design options such as paint finish, upholstery, trim and wheels are concerned, customers can configure their vehicles individually as before.
At the sides, the mirrors have been moved down: mounting them on the doors helps with aerodynamics, as well as trimming wind noise in the cabin. The running boards are new as well, tapering from their narrowest at the front to their widest at the rear. Two-section rear lights are new for the 2023 model year, and there's more chrome to emphasize the exhaust surround.

The result is neither going to be mistaken for a hatchback — which is an issue some earlier Mercedes compact SUVs suffered from — nor especially different from the automaker's larger models. Both are positives. 18- to 20-inch wheels are offered, and the larger size means Mercedes can fit a spare wheel in the trunk, rather than just a puncture repair kit.
Some of the improvements, American drivers won't get to enjoy fully. The GLC supports Mercedes' Digital Light system — where the headlamps are made up of individually-controllable pixels — but, while illumination and projection are said to be improved over the old SUV's lighting, the U.S. still doesn't get the dynamically-changeable projection that the GLC offers in Europe, adapting to oncoming traffic. While the regulations in the U.S. are changing, so far Mercedes hasn't committed to embracing the tech fully on these shores, nor releasing a software update to enable them on existing cars with the hardware should that change.

The next-generation 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC took its sweet time to hit the market. Unveiled almost exactly one year ago, it will be available in Canadian dealerships starting in June. The company today announced pricing details, and we’re sorry to tell you that the new model is much more expensive than its predecessor.
