March:- India’s
largest luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz today launched the ‘Made in India’ GLC
Coupé in two variants, the 300d 4MATIC diesel and GLC 300 4MATIC petrol. With
the roll-out of the GLC Coupe, Mercedes-Benz India has now added the 10th global
product in its local production portfolio in India. The GLC Coupe combines
outstanding on and off-road driving characteristics with spaciousness,
practicality, innovative technologies and intelligent driving assistance
systems. GLC Coupé is a paragon of sportiness, safety and efficiency. The
interior of the GLC derives its fascination from the contrast between the
luxurious and elegant design and the digital high-tech of our MBUX system.

Schwenk, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India and Piyush Arora, Executive Director, Operations,
Mercedes-Benz India rolled-out the GLC Coupe from the assembly line

excited to add yet another stylish lifestyle and dynamic SUV in our portfolio
and continue the unmatched product offering in the luxury SUV segment. The GLC
Coupe now locally produced in its series version will further enhance the
popularity of the SUV Coupe. The GLC Coupe is distinguished by its
technological prowess thanks to the most intuitive and engaging MBUX which is
capable of ‘Over the Air’ updates via Mercedes me connect services. The SUV
features the intelligent virtual in car assistant popularly known as ‘Hey
Mercedes’ and comes with a NTG 6.0 with class leading 24X7 connected features
and services from Mercedes Me Connect.
