IIMS 2015: Mercedes-Benz GLC debuts in RHD form

Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 2

The Mercedes-Benz GLC made its show debut at the Indonesia International Motor Show 2015 (IIMS), where’s it’s displayed in right-hand drive form for the first time. The C-Class-based X253 replaces the GLK-Class, and is built to cater towards a wider audience.

It’s going to go head-to-head with the BMW X3 and the Audi Q5. This particular model on display is a GLC 250 with Merc’s familiar 2.0 litre turbo engine that produces 211 hp and 350 Nm of torque, mated to a new 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic gearbox. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is featured here, standard on all variants.

A Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 Edition 45 is offered in Indonesia, with a few extra bells and whistles such as an exclusive exterior package, roof rails in black, 19-inch five-spoke light alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera and ambient lighting.

Now available to pre-order, the GLC 250 Edition 45 retails for 10.99 million rupiah (RM325k) while the toned-down GLC 250 Exclusive retails for 9.99 million rupiah (RM295k).

    Mercedes is doing a damn good job in copy and paste for its interior design and that rim design, yuck!

    As for the exterior design…meh the X3 looks better and even the aging Q5 is still better than this.

    PS: Having a lot of db errors from the paultan.org website….

    Dear Jonathan,

    I supposed the number should be Rp 1,099 millions (one thousand and ninety nine millions) @ Rp1.099 billion AND Rp 999 millions or Rp0.99 billion.

    The rims could be better, seriously. But overall it seems like a modestly good looker.
    Btw, did they remove the like and dislike functions on paultan’s comments section?
