Snow Test Drive & Feature Overview: Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC®

This weekend brought a major snowstorm to town, and what better way to put the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC® to the test than tackling a foot of fresh snow? In our recent test drive, we took the GLC onto a snow-covered lot to see how Mercedes’ renowned 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system performed when winter pushed things to the limit.

As explained by Scott Powell, the GLC 300 4MATIC® features a full-time all-wheel drive system that requires no buttons, switches, or special modes. The power is automatically transferred to whichever wheel needs it most, making cruising up slippery, snowy hills feel effortless. Whether you’re faced with mountain roads or just your snow-packed driveway, the car intuitively keeps its grip. According to Scott Powell, “just point the car in the right direction, go easy on the throttle, easy on the brake and you’ll have no troubles at all.”

During the test, the GLC handled deep, uneven snow without hesitation—no spinning or sliding, just solid traction. Even on factory all-season tires (19-inch!), the vehicle maintained composure. Snow tires are an option, but as Scott Powell notes, “You’re not going to need them” unless you’re swapping for summer performance tires, which aren’t designed for cold weather.

A highlight in driving was the GLC’s 360-degree backup camera, which provided a clear, low-to-the-ground view of everything around the car. This added another level of safety and awareness, especially appreciated when conditions obscure your vision.

Comfort features made the drive that much more enjoyable; heated seats and steering wheel proved perfect for a cold day. Importantly, there’s no need to switch driving modes—the Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC®’s advanced systems are always working in the background to ensure stability, regardless of weather.
