GLC63S
GLC63se reliability
Hi everyone, I’ve had a 2019 GLC63s and most recently a 2020 C63s. I’m looking for something a little bigger and the GLC63se is the perfect size and within the budget.
I love the look of it, the interior is stunning and the performance is amazing BUT my only concern is reliability with all the tech and hybrid system.
Any owners here having any issues with their new GLC63se?
thanks!

Personally I wouldn’t touch any car with a hybrid system but that’s just me. Stick with the 4.0L tt 63. You will miss that beautiful noise no matter how much more powerful the hybrid system is.

Had my reservations about the new hybrid version too, however, I'm a few months into it now and I do love the new kit.
I went from a 2021 GLC63s (yep the TT 4L V8) to this 2025 GLC63s E-performance (one of the dislikes is the name of the model.... it's soooo long haha).
It is a very different beast to its predecessor - so as long as you're not expecting it to be a growling V8, you will be OK.
I've had a few spirited drives on the road and on the track with this new hybrid and it's definitely heaps of fun. Plenty of power & torque that comes on quick and early.
I'll admit I do miss the sound of the previous version but this one still has little bangs and pops to keep you entertained when you are pushing it.
Do I regret the swap - definitely not.
Will I keep this in the long run - not sure yet
If you are tossing it up as an option - I would say go for a test drive in it and make sure you like the feel.
Good luck with whatever you decide & post back here to update us if you can
