Are you having problems with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC250? Let our team of motoring experts keep you up to date with all of the latest 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC250 issues & faults. We have gathered all of the most frequently asked questions and problems relating to the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC250 in one spot to help you decide if it's a smart buy.

Best towing equipment for a GLC?

Start by asking your Mercedes-Benz dealer for their assistance. Explain to them that you want to tow a caravan and that the factory towbar is not suitable. If they cannot help seek the help of towbar companies, such as Hayman-Reece. If might be a case of modifying an existing towbar to suit.

Best prestige SUV coupe?

From the research, my pick is definitely the Benz. It's a development of the classy GLC wagon but with improvements including better suspension. The Benz costs a little more but there is stock in showrooms now so you should jump quickly if you want one.

Replacing a GLC 250 headlight

The dealership has now sharpened the quote but most companies now only sell headlamps as complete units. Yours is among the highest of the hi-tech, including a set-up to turn the lights for corners, so it's costly.

Range Rover Sport, Touareg or Grand Cherokee?

You could go for a Mercedes-Benz GLC with similar features and save money. My choice — perhaps surprisingly — is the Jeep. Just make sure you find a good dealer.

Can the GLC tow a 2 tonne boat?

I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t tow your boat; it has a towing rating of 2500 kg, and normally that means a towball load of 250 kg.

GLC 250 or Q5 3.0L?

It’s the GLC by a clear margin. It’s completely new, more refined in all things from the cabin to the suspension, and better value. It gets The Tick from me.
