Do you have Carplay? My year-old 350e doesn't and I have to say MB's "explanations" for why are cr@p.........

2498luis

Its 2018MY and there is still no Carplay

Carplay and Android auto is only a $350 option. It is available for MY18.

not in canada unfortunately

yes as long as you don't want the larger screen with COMAND
seems silly the way they did that

openwheelracing

You are right. That sucks. To me the screen upgrade was not worth $2200 anyway, and I hate that touch pad. The iDrive style dial is enough. 7 inch vs 8.4. meh I will stick with 7 inch. I just want to get back to basics. One of the reasons I am buying a GLC is due to the real analogue gauges. I absolutely hate those digital gauges. Hate them with a passion. Ugly as sin. I like the way GLC is right now, one screen flanked by two analogue gauges. A single screen is the cheap way and I would expect to pay less for such feature.

Hi. The car looks great. I wish you to enjoy it and stay safe and problem free.

I have ordered same and i will get it on June.

I would like to ask you a question. I have chosen the extra "Air Body Control (ABC)" which i think it improves the suspension feeling, however the main reason i chose this option was the ability to increase the ground clearance when driving off-road (50mm). i now realized that the GLC350e 4 Mattic is the only GLC model which does not have the off-road package and if i get this right, adjustment of the ground clearance is not available for off-road driving.

Could you please let me know wether your GLC is equipped with ABC or not and if yes is ground clearance adjustment available?

Thanks a lot!!!

Why is it so ugly and dumb looking? Thanx!

To each their own... Why hate on the GLC on its own Forum though?

This is the older (already traded in Car)
Thanks, I appreciate the good will, and I wish the same to you. Here in the Canadian Market we used to have Air suspension on the first production year of the GLC as an option, but on the recent models (2018 maybe 2017) they are not offered anymore, regardless, unfortunately my car doesnt have Air suspension but i still find it quite capable off roading, (Taken my older GLC to some light offroading places it did quite well IMO).

Mine has ABC, and there is a button in the middle-console (left to the controller-dial) to increase the clearance!

Just kidding around mates

Hi-
I've been planning to get a GLE 550e, but the GLC 350e is potentially on the table and yours looks great! 1) are you still happy overall? 2) how is the brake feel...any significant weirdness? 3) what kind of city/highway/overall fuel economy are you getting?
Thanks!

I have 18' GLC350e, mine has AndroidAuto and CarPLay, but they come with a package.
My only complain about it is I cannot adjust sound profile in projection.
I think it is very good and worth the $$.

Hi,
just checking here if anyone has experienced on the GLC 350e a brake judder or vibration, especially during the first 1-2 brake applications when the car is still cold and/or wet? I have had the brakes checked at the dealership but they found nothing wrong. My car has been driven only 16000 km since new (May 2017). But this brake shaking has been present most of that time. I suspect this problem has something to do with the transfer between regenerative braking and regular hydraulic braking. I understand that the car is programmed to make a test of the braking system during the first 1-2 brake application each time it starts. Any comments?

I love that ultra cheap charger for the 12V battery. Apparently the dealership is not aware of the MB charger requirements starting with MY2015. Or maybe they just don't care Either way, their credibility has the aerodynamics of a flying rock.

Thanks for opening this thread up for any questions. What type of gas mileage (combined driving) do you get without charging? What is the vehicle range without refueling without charging? Do you use the Charge function sometimes (where you can use the engine to charge the hybrid battery)? I'm curious how the vehicle operates as a hybrid without plug-in charging. Thanks.

Here in canada theres still no carplay if you choose to get the upgraded COMMAND Navigation Screen

2498luis

1) Love the car
2) feels good but he regenerative braking is not as strong as full EVs though, overall the engineered it to feel like any other breaking system
3)during summer i was averaging 7L/100KM now in winter im getting closer to 10L/100KM my comute is 60%hwy and 40% City aproximately and 60 KMs one way

Hello, thanks for the fuel consumption numbers! I ordered a 2019 to lease, and I am hoping that it arrives by the end of March. I will post the fuel consumption numbers once I have put some miles on it.

Talisker

I'm doing about 5L/100K this winter (charging at home & at work), less than 3L/100K during warmer (and sunnier) days. Even without charging I can get as low as 7.5L/100K.
Depends on how you drive, especially anticipating stops, traffic lights, etc...

Any idea what the rough range in town driving with electric only? I know the battery isn't large but interested to know what your thoughts are on that range. Thinking of that question, can you set it to electric only? or is it automatic.

Thanks

Talisker

Range on battery-only varies greatly, depending on the time of the day, the weather, driving style, ... roughly between 15 and 25 km (the display could list up to 32-33 km as max range on the battery, but you never get that far).
There are different settings that you can choose from: hybrid (which switches between E and gas automatically), E-mode only (so yes, electric only, which I use for commuting to work), Save, and a Charge mode.

Anyone using departure time feature to manage when to start the charge? Do you have to enable it after every charge?
