What to know about the GLC

The GLC is the car that explains why this segment exists. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol in this listing carries a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist, making 258 bhp and 400 Nm delivered through a conventional automatic so seamlessly that the car seems to anticipate gear changes rather than perform them, and a near-two-tonne body moves with a lack of visible effort that is the real currency of luxury.

The cabin is the second act, and it is staged with theatre in mind. Ambient lighting traces the door furniture, the centre screen sits portrait-fashion in a dash finished in open-pore trim and soft materials, and the 2888 mm wheelbase translates into rear-seat room that makes a chauffeured weekend entirely civilised. The boot takes 620 litres with the bench up, which quietly means the GLC can be the family car when the occasion demands it.

Buying one is an exercise in accepting priorities. The claimed 13 kmpl is aspirational in city traffic, the driving assistance package is standard here but the really large wheels ruin the ride on patched tarmac, and nothing about the way this car isolates you from the road is accidental, including the cost of maintaining that isolation. It is the most complete of the premium SUVs in this catalogue, and it is priced to remind you of that at every service interval.
