So today with us is its quietly introduced entry-level variant, the GLC 200. And since price is an important factor in helping you decide, it comes with a price tag of $228k with COE; nearest competitors, namely the X3 xDrive30i, Q5 2.0 TFSI quattro, XC 60 T5 and F-Pace 2.0 Prestige are priced at $259k, $239k, $230k and $251k — with COE — respectively. Sounds like a bargain Mercedes-Benz which, at this point, should tempt you.

Mercedes-Benz GLC 200 | No Frills, Just Goodies

If you’re looking for a mid-sized SUV, this German option could be a worthy proposition


You take a look at the LC 500 here — you’re just not sure. The front end made it look like a serpent and the grill seems a tad over the top. Its headlamps, along with the individual daytime running light and signal repeaters, all LED, seems too abstract. Flanking the car are several creases, paired to a broad shoulder that, potentially, puts Stallone to shame. The rear? Full of details that will not look out of place in a Transformer series, thanks largely to the slit-eyed tail lamps.

Unlike its predecessor that was based on the smaller C-Class, the new E-Class Coupé is based on the E-Class saloon, thus offering more space and comfort with the larger footprint. The car has grown 123 mm longer, 74 mm wider and 33 mm taller, resulting in increased rear knee room, shoulder room and headroom.

Somewhat, its fanbase did not follow through with the refreshed 3008 though. Perhaps because it was not offered in petrol variant; or it could be that Volkswagen’s Tiguan sounded like a far more interesting proposition.

But suddenly the Germans decided they wanted to be part of the party too. Along came the Mercedes-Benz ML, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg. The Japanese didn’t want to lose out too, churning out more modern versions of their ‘Jeep’ — the Mitsubishi Pajero suddenly won’t look out of place at the driveway of Marina Mandarin, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado became a status symbol and, later on, Nissan’s Murano became the choice of soccer mums.

Noticeably from the third tankful onwards, the engine needed less effort to move off and I could shift up at 3,500 rpm instead — even with two additional passengers. On top of that while cruising along the expressway, the engine seem less coarse than before. As a whole, it definitely feels more effortless to drive now — something I highly appreciate, as this daily driver of mine is somewhat providing additional comfort to make driving a less tedious affair. Caltex definitely delivered what was said on their label with this one.
