What does the 2027 GLC 300 cost compared with the AMG® GLC 53?
The 2027 GLC 300 SUV starts at $52,400 and the AMG® GLC 53 4MATIC®+ SUV at $69,900 (Mercedes-Benz, 2027). What you pay beyond the sticker depends on how you pay and what New Hampshire charges to register the car.
In New Hampshire, the city or town permit fee is 18 mills on each dollar of the maker’s list price for a current model year vehicle, dropping to 15 mills for the first preceding model year (New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, RSA 261:153, I (2026)). The fee is never less than $5. Because the fee follows the list price, the higher-priced AMG® GLC 53 costs more to register than the GLC 300 at the same rate.
The state fee is separate. It is $42 for vehicles weighing 0 to 3,000 lbs, $48 for 3,001 to 5,000 lbs, and $66 for 5,001 to 8,000 lbs, prorated by month to the month of the owner’s birthday (New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, RSA 261:141, III(g) (2026)).
We offer upfront pricing. We also offer pre-owned car loans, new Mercedes-Benz finance and Mercedes-Benz leases, along with rotating Mercedes-Benz lease and finance specials. That means you can compare a lease and a loan on either trim, so you assess the GLC 300 and the AMG® GLC 53 on the same terms.

In a September 2025 Google review, Tracy C. wrote: “This is our fourth car from Mercedes of Manchester. The dealership is no pressure and so fun to be at. The staff is extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure you get exactly what you want. Our sales person Luis Perez was top notch. It was raining hard and he was moving cars around for us to look at. The General Dales manager Philip Bova is also extremely helpful. I can’t say enough about it being so friendly. You don’t always get that at a Mercedes dealership.” That is one customer’s visit, and it names the salesperson and the manager they dealt with.
