The GLC is Mercedes-Benz's mid-size luxury SUV. It’s a well-conceived package that's also been well-received in India. 2020's facelift has brought in revised styling, more features and BS6-compliant engines. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is available with petrol and diesel engine options.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC isn't imposing but it looks smart and carries new-age Mercedes styling with pizzazz. It's beautifully-finished on the inside, too, with a rich look to everything. The superb new touchscreen infotainment system has also added to the look of things on the inside. Outside visibility is good and there's ample space in the cabin too. However, the rear seat isn't the most supportive.
The updated GLC gets Mercedes' latest 2.0-litre diesel engine in 194hp state of tune. Performance is pleasant though it's the engine's excellent refinement that leaves the lasting impression. We are yet to drive the new GLC 200 petrol that comes powered by 197hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine though the promise is of good refinement. A smooth 9-speed automatic transmission is part of the GLC experience too.
Ride comfort sees an improvement with the update. Bump absorption is really good as is body control. And while it may not be the toughest of luxury SUVs, the GLC won't feel out of place on mild off-road excursions too. Interestingly, all-wheel drive is reserved solely for the GLC diesel. The GLC 200 petrol is offered solely in rear-wheel drive form.
