Mercedes-Benz has launched the 2021 GLC in India in two variant options – GLC 200 at Rs 57.40 lakh and GLC 220d 4MATIC at Rs 63.15 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The updated Mercedes-Benz GLC is available in two new colour options – brilliant blue and high tech silver. Changes are limited to new feature updates and new body colour options, while mechanically it continues to be powered by the existing petrol and diesel powertrain options.
The key feature and technology enrichments in the updated GLC include an all-digital instrument display with a choice of styles like ‘Classic, Progressive, and Sporty’. The vehicle gets a 12.3-inch display that delivers sharp images under all lighting conditions. It now offers front massaging seats with individually adjustable air chambers. Additionally, the updated model now offers a 360-degree parking assist and a remote engine start feature. The list of features also includes the Mercedes me connect app with Alexa, Google Home integration, and Parking location on the navigation system.
Under the hood, the GLC 200 is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine which generates 194bhp at 5,500rpm and 320Nm of torque at 1,650rpm. On the other hand, the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine generates 192bhp at 3,800rpm and 400Nm of torque at 1,600rpm. Both the engines come mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

With the 2021 GLC, we now offer a technology superior, feature enriched fully loaded mid-size SUV, which has raised the benchmark for tech, comfort and convenience in the segment significantly.
