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.

My car xc90

Everything is good Most important thing is you can firm your starting wheel according to what you You can also firm the suspension according to you By just swiping you can open the sunroof!😁 You can on the lights by just touching What else does one need at this price Seat is very comfortable Looks wise also very nice

Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class 450 4Matic First Drive Review

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray21 Dec 2023

The GLE then is like one of those tailor-made Saville Row suits, which will retain its grandeur no matter how many “drips” come and go.

Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate facelift — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre22 Sep 2022

Volvo's flagship SUV in India is this XC90. In its latest iteration, it gets some new features, some new exterior shades, but the design and styling remains the same. And this is particularly good, for it retains its mature demeanor with sheer elegance. Peculiar highlights like the Thor-hammer shaped DRLs and tall tail lamps continue to shine on a big SUV with neat proportions.
