Mercedes GLC India review, test drive

Should I buy one?

The GLC’s fundamental strength stems from the fact that it is a great all-rounder appealing to a wide swathe of luxury SUV buyers. Firstly, it looks very modern and contemporary and the cabin too is pretty spacious and very well equipped. Yes, there are few niggles like the below-par infotainment system and it may not have the engaging driving dynamics of its rivals. But if you want comfort and refinement, the GLC 300, with its smooth and brisk performance, supple ride and hushed cabin, is hard to beat.

Most buyers are likely to opt for the entry-level GLC 220d which is a more practical choice. Mercedes has priced the SUV at Rs 50.70 lakh for the diesel GLC 220d 4Matic and Rs 50.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune) for the GLC 300 4Matic petrol. If you’ve always wanted a Merc and have often looked at a luxury SUV, make sure you check out the GLC first. It just could be the right car for you.
