The GLC has been a game changer for Mercedes especially in the luxury SUV segment, boasting of 13,000 plus customers and making it the best-selling luxury SUV for the brand. The SUV stands just after the E-Class as the company's highest selling model in India and there's good reason for it. A luxury SUV that is just about the right size to not seem like an initial move into the Mercedes family à la the GLA and not starting to get overly large à la the GLE, managing to fit into the urban space and still stand out while also being great for a multitude of lifestyles.
This new, second generation of the GLC comes after an eight month hiatus from Mercedes' India portfolio and Mercedes cites a substantial volume of demand from customers for the model in its absence. These potential customers for the GLC are now going to get a refreshed new look that's more rounded compared to the model it replaces. The design changes are more apparent in the LED headlamps, the new grille, the redesigned rear tail lamps and the general look of the new GLC which now appears softer yet, more stately. The new 19-inch wheels ups the aesthetics even further and that's a good thing as no AMG-line additions are currently on offer for the SUV. The SUV also sees an increase of 60mm in overall length including a 15mm increase in wheelbase, more on the benefits later.
