    Should I buy one?

    So does the GLC have what it takes to develop this niche segment into a mainstream one? Well, it's no easy task to achieve. There will always be those who will simply want an SUV to be an SUV. And it’s always going to be a tough task getting an SUV to wear the coupé look. But as things stand, the segment is growing and so for those that must have an SUV-coupe, the GLC Coupe is quite a compelling choice. It is set to launch in India only next year and may be without a direct rival with the absence of the BMW X4.  With an expected launch price of over Rs 60 lakh, there are other SUVs that you can consider in this price range, including Merc’s full fledged GLE. However, if your reason for buying a SUV is standout value, with a bit of sporty driving thrown in, then the GLC Coupe fits the bill neatly.
