And globally, it's no slouch either, boasting sales of up to 26 lakh units since its launch in 2016.

What sets the new GLC apart from its predecessor?

For starters, it's been slightly elongated and features an extended wheelbase, resulting in more rear-seat room and a more comfy ride. The exterior has also been given a facelift, with sleeker LED headlights and a chrome-treated underguard.
