I, Nilmoney Roy would first like to establish that I am the proud owner of 3 Mercedes Benz’s; a 1962 model, a 1965 model and a GLC 220 D. On my 82nd Birthday last August 2017 my son gifted me a GLC 220 D from your Kolkata branch.
It is with deep regret that I have drafted this letter. My GLC has not been equipped with a standard GPS navigation system. It is appalling that such a premium car does not have a basic feature, a feature found in almost any car in this day and age of technology of much lower valuation.
To further establish my concern and in hopes of correcting the situation, I contacted the Kolkata establishment of Mercedes Benz. I spoke to Mr. Sourav Rahan (Sales Manager), where I raised my concerns and was swiftly told that the GPS Navigation System would come at an additional cost. To my utter surprise, a car worth Rs. 50 Lakh requires additional payments for a proper and a normal experience. A system worth Rs. 40,000 is a small fraction of what the car costs and is not the problem for a consumer like me. The problem is that a car worth this amount must be equipped with the basic requirements and the fee for such requirements must be included in the initial total fee. An additional fee, for a navigation system, for a car worth this immense amount is most certainly not necessary
The principle of selling a car, without a navigation system, and then including it as an additional payment is what is wrong with the company’s policy, something I would like to shed some light upon. I would like a prompt and satisfactory response along with a solution to my aforementioned concerns and I hope this letter is read with the seriousness with which it has been written with.
Earlier this year, we saw the entry of the company's first-ever non-AMG coupe SUV with the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. So, does the GLC Coupe offer any value, or is it just the regular GLC SUV with a sloping roof? We got to spend some quality time with the car to find exactly that.
Mercedes-Benz has introduced the 2020 GLC in India and it now is better equipped than before and is a connected car too. There's a new engine on offer too and we get behind the wheel to find out more
We have already driven the GLE Coup and that car's been launched in India too. Now we are all set for the smaller coup SUV from Mercedes-Benz - the GLC Coup. And I am in North Italy's Aosta valley to test the car.
