Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Minor changes to standard feature availability, V8 models dropped for 2022.

Pros
Balance of comfort and performance makes it an appealing daily driver
Elegant design gives it a true luxury appearance
Roomy seating for a small luxury SUV
Solid fuel economy from the standard four-cylinder engine

Cons
Less cargo space and towing capacity than competition

The GLC63 S model joins the lineup for 2022. The GLC63 S brings the 503-hp version of the twin-turbo V-8, previously reserved only for the GLC Coupe, to the more practical squareback body style this year. However, Mercedes-AMG has also told Car and Driver that certain 2022 models normally offered with V-8 engines will not be available. The GLC63 and GLC63 S models may be impacted by this change to the lineup, but representatives from Mercedes-AMG would not comment or confirm that information by press time.

Pros
A trio of high-performance engine options,
agile handling,
deluxe cabin.

Cons
Some rivals offer more cargo space,
pronounced road noise when cruising,
rough ride over imperfect pavement.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class's #1 ranking is based on its score within the Luxury Compact SUVs category. Currently the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class has a score of 8.4 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 43 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Refined cabin quality
Strong twin-turbocharged engine options
Composed handling
High-tech infotainment system

Cons
High base price for the class
Cramped rear headroom and unimpressive cargo space in coupe body style

New Wilderness trim level.

Pros
Standard all-wheel drive
A full complement of driver assist features are standard
Enhanced off-road capability thanks to better-than-average ground clearance
Generous cargo capacity

Cons
Engine is underpowered
Modest tow rating limits maximum utility

Subaru has refreshed the Forester SUV for 2022 with blockier-looking front headlamps, a reworked grille, and new wheel designs. A Wilderness trim joins the lineup and, like the Outback Wilderness, it adds additional ground clearance and a rugged appearance package. Inside, the Forester benefits from new optional gesture controls for the climate control system and a panoramic sunroof as standard equipment on all but the base trim.

Pros
Plenty of cargo space,
comfortable two-row layout,
smooth ride.

Cons
Poky acceleration,
base model is spartan,
not as cool as the Outback wagon.
