Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the GLC200 AMG Line at RM329,888. It has a 1,999 cc petrol-hybrid set-up, 201 hp, a conventional automatic and five seats. The GLC 350e 4Matic AMG Line costs RM398,888, so the RM69,000 gap buys the plug-in hybrid drivetrain and 4Matic badging. On paper, both list the same 1,999 cc and 201 hp figures, so check the equipment list before paying more.

Verdict

The GLC is no longer only the RM429,888 CBU GLC300 that made the second-generation car look expensive beside the BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. The GLC200 now starts close to the BMW X3 and Volvo XC60, while the GLC 350e sits above the Audi Q5’s entry price. It is still a premium-priced compact executive SUV, especially in plug-in hybrid form.
