Why you should buy a Mercedes Benz GLC ?

The GLC is one of our favorite small luxury SUVs. It offers smooth and efficient power, a classy interior, and plenty of helpful technology features. The latest GLC has also gotten more expensive, however, and some other competing SUVs provide better value. Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class will cost about $14,421 for maintenance and repairs during its first 10 years of service. The service maintenance cost of the Mercedes-Benz GLC costs an approximate value of Rs 17,500 for 5 years. The first service after 10,000 kms and the second service after 20,000 kms is free of cost. Service cost of a car basically means the cost incurred in the regular maintenance of the car.

Most Unreliable Brand on Planet

The most reliable car I have ever owned. Car has stopped midway and Volvo could set the fault right in 2 and half months. on 80000 kms both the front axles replaced, at 95000 Rear differential changed and at 120000 came the golden moment when engine seized. and its all my mistake had I gone thru reviews and ratings available for vehicle online I wouldn't have bought it. I suggest all intended buyers to search online before buying a Volvo. On several sites it has been rated as most unreliable brand to own. Don't go by looks and features they are very good at designing and adding features.

2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4Matic First Drive Review

2017 Volvo XC60 First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair07 Dec 2017

Having introduced the 90-series vehicles such as XC90, S90 and V90 over recent times, Volvo is now set to unleash its mid-size luxury SUV, the new XC60 onto our roads on 12 December. The all-new XC60 is a manifestation of the Swedish brand’s current design language, one that combines crisp design lines with gorgeous detailing. This high-rider is also based on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, which is what essentially underpins their bigger XC90 too. To give you a perspective, the new XC60’s wheelbase has shot up by 44mm, is 11mm wider and sits shorter by 14mm. Plus, to keep things simple, it will only get the diesel engine (D5) and in the Inscription variant which gets all the bells and whistles.
