Oil-burner offers smooth power while it will not cost you an arm and a leg at the pumps.
got to spend a few days with retails for R1 211 220. It is not insubstantial, but this does include around 100 standard fitment items. Mercedes-Benz says these would cost you an easy R200 000 should you have had to dip into the optional extras bin. Talking of which, the extras on the test car did come in at almost R220 000, which means that despite being “entry level” this Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d is anything but.Let’s start with what you won’t really notice at first glance.
What you should notice is the Avantgarde package that comes standard. It adds chrome trim to the exterior and in the case of our 220d, a nice set of optional 19-inch wheels and aluminium look running boards complete the picture.Jump inside and the interior is a familiar place wrapped in artificial leather. There is an unmissable, new 30 cm-tall high-resolution touchscreen infotainment display integrated into the centre console.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d is not made for land speed records. But it does deliver a smooth wave of power and torque down to all four wheels via a nine-speed double clutch gearbox. This combination makes driving this SUV daily a pleasure.What is also a pleasure is that at the fuel pumps. There will be no nasty surprises as achieving a consumption figure in the high 5.0-litre per 100 km, or early 6.0-litre per 100 km, bracket is easily done should you show some restraint when commuting.
is a well-rounded SUV that offers plenty spec and tech while delivering a top class on-road experience. And a half decent off-road one too if you are so inclined.
