Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz India on Thursday launched its SUV -- the new GLC ‘Edition 1’ priced around ₹51 lakh (ex-showroom).
The GLC will be sold as a completely built unit (CBU) and will be available in both petrol and diesel variants -- the GLC 220 d and GLC 300, the company said.
While the GLC 220 d ‘Edition 1’ is priced at ₹50.70 lakh, the GLC 300 ‘Edition 1’ is priced at ₹50.90 lakh (both ex-showroom, Pune), it said.
“The GLC underscores our philosophy of introducing world-class products from our global portfolio for our discerning Indian customers. We have seen a growing penchant for luxury SUVs among the luxury car customers in India and the addition of the GLC is going to redefine the segment completely,” Roland Folger, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mercedes-Benz India, said.
Introduction of these cars also fills the gap in the company’s SUV portfolio, making Mercedes-Benz luxury car manufacturer with the most extensive range of SUVs, ranging from the GLA to the iconic AMG G 63, he said.
“The GLC is a highly capable SUV which has proven competencies on both on-road and off-road expeditions. Living up to the safety benchmark set by Mercedes-Benz, the GLC has achieved five stars, giving it the maximum score in the Euro NCAP (safety) rating,” he added.
