Some SUVs try to look tough but fold faster than garden furniture in a storm. The Mercedes GLC 250d AMG Line Premium Plus is not one of them. This thing looks like it’s carved from arrogance and aluminium. It’s big, it’s handsome, and it has the sort of road presence that makes lesser crossovers scuttle back into the shadows. And because it’s the Premium Plus, it doesn’t just come with equipment — it comes with all the equipment. Panoramic roof? Yes. Big screen? Naturally. Burmeister-level audio? Of course. 4MATIC? Absolutely — because British weather is basically a random number generator. Inside, it’s exactly what you expect from Mercedes: expensive, modern, and astonishingly comfortable. It’s like driving your living room, if your living room had heated seats, ambient lighting, and could out-drag most hatchbacks off the lights.

Every year. No corners cut. No “my mate Dave did it for a tenner” nonsense. On the road, the 250d engine is refined, torquey and surprisingly quick, while the auto gearbox shifts like warm butter. The 4MATIC system grips like a toddler holding an ice cream. It’s fast. It’s comfortable. It’s stylish. And it’s built with all the smug, polished confidence that only Mercedes can get away with. If you want an SUV that makes everything feel a bit more… premium — this is it. I’m
