2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC review - Merc's best selling SUV in a new avatar | First Drive| Autocar India

[@autocarindia1]

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.

[@prakshaltailor007]

Have you done a review on the 2023 x5 facelift?

[@HemanthVlogs]

GLC 300d coupe vs GLC 300 ?

[@anoopuchil]

Hampi has my heart. I wish more automotive content is shot in and around Hampi. The landscape is absolutely stunning.

[@capricornus993]

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]

Or ventilated seats instead.

[@capricornus993]

@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]

@@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.

[@raghuveer8137]

We need cooled seats

[@yahoodishaitan]

Exchange seat heating with cooling😂

[@devchintu]

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 😮

[@rohitupadhyay319]

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]

Absolutely correct.

[@aneeshraodharmapuri7330]

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.

[@Kannada_First]

Can’t agree more.

[@drraghul]

Exactly what i was thinking.

[@teja2484]

Front seat heating? Not ventilated seats?

[@dineshraj256]

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]

Yes bro

[@prateekmodified]

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.

[@siddheshmistry8779]

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

[@HaVoK786]

I really hope Autocar does a comparison test of the new GLC with the BMW X3 and the Audi Q5

[@RK-tv1zo]

Q5

[@sravans149]

Lexus Nx will be an interesting competitor

[@Apster]

Q5 is faster & Quattro is much better. Plus they havnt cheapened out on insulators & added squeaky plastics with large screens Lmfao

[@tigeron9312]

Need f pace too

[@drprateekbhatnagar]

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 !

[@asap8368]

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]

Exactly

[@pavanyaragudi]

Awesome landscapes!! Just the fact that i drove past those highway sections yesterday makes me soo happy seeing such media content being shot in my district of Ballari. We have some amazing roads and serene landscapes! These people should expand away from pune mumbai hills!!

[@San-ux8kf]

5:50 this line is iconic now

[@autocarindia1]

😂

[@dranilbabuswarna]

At 6:45 is the magic moment when He lifts the Sun shade the background cottage like structures appears in good detail. That means this video is shot with a phone (probably an iPhone) which has a smaller sensor..not shot with an SLR which has a bigger sensor and hence a better dynamic range😅

[@talamascaxsi]

Good one!

[@angshukghosh]

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.

[@bobbyisac]

I will be happy with the 19 inchers as they would offer better ride comfort on our roads. Less expensive to replace also. Having same width on all four corners also help

[@abishkdesai]

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]

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

[@Balaraj05]

Merc - Dont ask Cruise control, but we will give heated seats in India! Mercedes clearly losing its sophistication and purpose.

[@hemantchopra3983]

Which would be a better engine to buy C300 or the 220 d. My car would be mainly used for city drive Which engine is the more peppy and fun to drive

[@glitchmanshandle]

c300

[@dashcamvids]

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.

[@galacticstar007]

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

[@calebshohe8353]

You guys forgot to mention that the footboard design has changed. It's slimmer at the front so that the pants don't get dirty but the rear footboard's the same so that the children can go in and out easily

[@sukeshagrawal2901]

Everything was going fantastic but suddenly that comment at 5.50...😂..

[@wagsbass]

No ventilation and massage in the front seat, disastrous! What were MB thinking

[@vinulate4159]

Amg line variant ayega kya

[@rohitravi1075]

Rear wheel steering?

[@sophiaroychoudhury2997]

Is automart a part of autocar India? The logo is very similar

[@OMKAARAM108]

head lights looks old school and lot were missing fromthe previous generations,so what's the poing of bringing this. bcoz we are obsessed with.......

[@rilvanudeen]

Whoever chose the location deserves a raise.

[@asap8368]

Finally Mercedes has started giving the spare tyre underneath the boot floor.

[@bishoptoothpaste1858]

Why is the international glc so different than Indian glc .. the international one looks much better

[@mks1702]

Thats the amg line while this is the avant garde trim. Also we don't get digital lights yet, probably will come with the amg line trim

[@Kannada_First]

These cars got super expensive these days.

How do you compare this with Volvo XC60

[@drprateekbhatnagar]

Volvo XC60 wins easily !

[@divyajeevan69]

X3 is a better buy imo.

[@webuser1135]

Yeah dont have to worry about designing high quality panel, finishing on switch knobs, dampaning on the knobs, how it feels to touch, how durable it is. Just plonk a super sized screen and get away with it all and call it latest trend. This all in one touch screen shit is just forced up on the consumers😂

If the jeep offered the grand Cherokee with a diesel, it would be a no brianer in the segment. Much larger and spacious

[@mohanphadnis]

Why should one take this over Ioniq 5 or EV6? Less tech, less features, less space and slower for substantially more???

[@ajithnair6748]

Hands down XC 60 😊

[@GurkiratXSingh]

It looks like a facelift rather than a new generation. They always cost cut with the headlights.

[@vikassawant005]

Paying 80 lacs onwards road and rear seat is like a auto rickshaw , specially under thigh support 😂

[@binoyadhikary9376]

This is the dream car❤

[@yugadevankr9667]

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.

[@BharatSecurityWatch]

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.

[@aqeelbiker4762]

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.
