Apart from being dynamically-rich, the 2020 GLC does most things right
Verdict – The Mercedes GLC is actually a very good SUV in the mid-size luxury space. It looks far better now, the interior screams of premiumness and the cabin is possibly the plushest one in the segment and updated list of features is impressive. The diesel engine is a hoot to drive and the GLC is actually the perfect size for our crowded roads as well as longish highway runs. If you don’t tend to drive spiritedly, the GLC makes sense. It also offers a very good back seat experience. But, if you desire something that is far more involving to drive and are willing to compromise slightly on some special touches here and there, a very good rival from Bavaria might be up to your taste.

Testers’ Note:
“I like the new styling updates of the GLC which makes it look sharp and fresh. I love the new 19-inch wheels. The new MBUX system offers a lot of new features and is a smart technology while the touchscreen works really well. However, I feel the COMMAND system with the rotary knob was much better to use while driving than the new touchpad and the touchscreen. Typical 2.0-litre Mercedes diesel with linear acceleration and comfortable dynamics. The ride feels a bit stiff at low speeds and it is not involving to drive like the X3 on tight corners.” – Aariz Rizvi, Assistant Editor, MotorBeam.
