The power buildup of the car is solid for a midsize SUV and it feels comfortable at the same time
A bestseller for Mercedes since its launch in 2016. Demand so high that Mercedes-Benz had to halt its production to stop selling it. A car which was exceptional in almost everything. A potential so strong it shook the market right away. 13,000+ customers in India talk about themselves.
The outgoing GLC checked off all points, making it a car everyone wanted. And now the all new facelifted 2023 GLC is #ReadyForlt to continue the legacy of the previous GLC. In my eyes, Mercedes has always been about reliability, exceptional drive quality and safety with exceptional performance. At first sight, one can notice certain upgrades to the car in terms of design and size. Add modernised technology and a luxurious interior with a minimalistic touch to it. And a few more very cool and engaging features that you wouldn't expect in a preferably mid-size SUV meant for families. But Mercedes has done a very challenging job of upgrading a car that was already a best seller and had everything it needed. The car has evolved and undoubtedly has the potential to set high standards again. Let's find out just how high it is setting the mark.
DRIVING & PERFORMANCE:
We were in Hampi to get our hands on the New GLC 2023, a place with a lot of history and heritage, just like the brand. Anywhere I looked, I could see the monuments and stone structures, leaving me amazed and wondering about the history, and again, just like that, anywhere I looked inside the car, I could see several upgrades.
