Merc stands on the top of customer service. Driving pleasure is too good makes u feel important and provides luxury. Performance is good, sunblinds could be electric for the rearview passenger. GLC is a low-maintenance car. But yes, the rear passenger may feel a little cramped on long routes.

Waste of money...

<p>Expensive service and maintenance cost. Poor average somewhere between 5to7km in city. Mercedes Benz cla or perhaps c class is better than this one. Cabin is excellent, touchscreen display response is far better than other models. Leather seats are perfect. Steering wheel and it's mounted controls are best in this segment. Resale value is poor. I have purchased in 2015 and done 18,000 km I have sold it at 17.6 lacs.</p>NANA
