The new GLC has now been launched priced at Rs 73.5 lakh for the GLC 300 and it Rs 74.5 lakh for the GLC 220d diesel. Prices are ex-showroom.

I don't understand why now these days most car manufacturers removing physical buttons..touch control is not driver friendly..one can't divert attention from road to just handle touch control.. annoying 😮

@capricornus993 11 месяцев назад

I wonder how long will it take Mercedes to realise that seat heating is next to useless to us and remove it to save costs.

@vinayakgupta6105 11 месяцев назад

Or ventilated seats instead.

@capricornus993 11 месяцев назад

@hottsongsinstitute9502it’s the other way around I believe, they import quality parts and assemble here with our cheap workforce and little bit of local sourcing..

@zackryan268 11 месяцев назад

@@vinayakgupta6105 Exactly !! So strange they don't provide ventilated seats in a market like India as the outgoing generation had them. Also another glaring omission is the lack of adaptive cruise control.

Don't know what these day luxury cars r getting features trimmed which they used to have a decade ago . Ventilated seats at this price is a huge miss ,also massage functions should have made way. Adaptive cruise control is also not there which these days 20 lakh SUV's have .

@geminimehta-lg9du 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely correct.

@prateekmodified 11 месяцев назад

While the phycial and material choices are great! No doubt about engineering, I think an area of significant investment is the digital and the software side. The UI and UX is not merc level and I belive similar levels of sophistication should be reflection in the digital interface of the car.

Front seat heating? Not ventilated seats?

@dineshraj256 11 месяцев назад

The same car in abroad gets ventilated seats, 4 zone climate control and phev models, which aren’t available in India, it’s like Mercedes purposefully wanna push prospective customers to GLE or GLS

@subhajeet6231 9 дней назад

@aneeshraodharmapuri7330 11 месяцев назад

5:50 how exactly does it score well on rear seat space clearly there is barely any room to stretch out this is very misleading. When you're sitting in the back for 5 minutes when the car is stationary it may seem comfy but when you go on a 2 3 hour drive it gets really uncomfortable because there is no space to stretch out especially the elderly they start cramping up. Same situation with our 2021 skoda octavia all reviews said it has good back seat space but in reality it doesn't.

@siddheshmistry8779 11 месяцев назад

No seat ventilation ? And hope less headlamps …. Reflective LEDs ? Even the new brezza has better headlamps … nothing against mercs but at this price they should give the car well equipped

@asap8368 11 месяцев назад

It misses on a boxy SUV stance which the previous gen had (this one looks better though more like a crossover) kind of looks more like the GLA now.

@RAJESHKUMAR-dq5os 10 месяцев назад

@galacticstar007 11 месяцев назад

So which other suv in this segment has better/more comfy ride than GLC?

@abishkdesai 11 месяцев назад

Looks like an all-rounder with 4Matic, you didn't mention anything on the increase of the ground clearance. The only spec to spec comparison is Volvo XC60 - which adds an additional good music system and massage and ventilated seats. But its down on the brand charisma and engine maxing the cap at 180kmhr with low mileage. I hope they keep the price sane and not just bump it up like the C-Class

@asap8368 11 месяцев назад

Not to forget this also misses on the adaptive cruise control.

Volvo xc60 has more features like seat massage, seat cooling, ADAS 2 features, best sound with Bowers & Wilkins, Google loaded in house for 4 years and orthopedic Napa leather seats that also prevent a whiplash injury. Volvo XC60 is that best performer which is not loud mouthed !

@calebshohe8353 11 месяцев назад

The international model gets a 255/45 R20 front section tyre and a 285/45 R20 rear section. These 235/55 R19( Both Sides ) feels like a cost reduction for the India model. It’s a shame ,given the starting price of 73.5 Lakhs Ex-Showroom.

@BharatSecurityWatch 10 месяцев назад

It's underequipped for the price for sure! But so are all the 3 German offerings. Japanese are expensive due to CBU/CKD. Blame the Rupee exchange rate, inflation or the low self esteem and inferiority complex of Avg Indian customer who buys / is capable of buying these expensive propositions. But hey, it's less bang for the buck in any which way one sees v/s what one gets in the US/EU markets! Reviewrs too avoid pointing out at shortcomings / shortchanging wrt features. I rest my case.

i'm tired of people complaining GLC cant be pushed or driven tough.. i think some smart person said it and everyone just copies it without really testing it. i have driven the older GLC and i dont see it lacking any acceleration and cornering capabilities. Turn on sport mode and its eager to jump. The 4matic and traction controls work very well and u can be pretty confident on all situations.

The footboard on side is for to fit your things on between roof rack, to wash wipe your roof or for the kids/old parent to step in with additional convenient. It has its function and generally most of its class doesn't provide this.

Now is time to not go for these luxury brands instead you can get decent enough luxury in lesser price from Indian brands. Bcoz these suvs doesn’t make any sense anymore just high quality interior and gimmicks has higher cost which these luxury brands are charging us.
