Mercedes Benz Malaysia is bringing in the Mercedes GLC in January 2016. What do you think about this sporty SUV? Is it really a whole package? What about its competitors? In a dilemma now. Let me know what you think.

Got the doll! Go for it

Hope they have CKD but that would most probably be at the end of 2016 or 2017.

This is very nich...doubt MBM will ckd it! Just like the R Class, not many on the road with that kind of pricing!

Hmm....really hope they CKD it. Not much information about the specs we will have or the pricing in malaysia. Guess have to wait another 13 more days.

I think Mercedes only ckd their sedan variants
Other type such as wagon and hatchback are not ckd despaired their sedan counterpart art assembled here.

It will start at about RM 330k.
I am taking delivery of my C250 next week and it did cross my mind to wait for GLC but decided against it as it will cost me RM 50k more and I don't really like 4 WD anyway.
But I think the waiting list will be long.
If they want to grab market share from X3, they may CKD I hope.

That would be sad. Not much info out there too.



The C250 is a fierce and nice looking car. What is the wait for this?

A few months I think.
I ordered mine one month after the announcement of CKD but I managed to bump queue a bit.

enjoy your burmester sound system

good but basically a C-Class on stilts...if you need the space and 4wd then go for it.

Burmester in the MB isn't the top of the range system. That one is to be found in the Porker. It's the mid range version - equivalent to the Harmon Kardon set in the BMW. Good enough for most except those with the most discerning of ears.

Congrats on your GLC!

at least MBM throws in a decent set of soundsystem compared to the meager soundsystems in the entry level 3 series models

Fair lah. I'm pretty sure entry level C class also don't come with branded sound system.

C250 comes with at least a decent (and darn good looking) set of burmester sound system. BMW 330i comes with...."BMW sound system", they don't even try to include the option of the harman/kardon, sad. even audi offers BnO for A4 2.0 as standard.

OK. I'm sure you're correct. It's just that my BMW comes with Harmon Kardon & my MB comes with the Burmeister (both are considered mid range items), so I thought the other Bimmers would as well. I stand corrected.

Actually, I went back home and I checked. You're 100% right. Even my so called high end 640i didn't have any branded stereo. My F15 X5 did come with the HK sound system, as did my new G12 740Li, but thinking back, my old F02 730Li which was traded in for the G12 also only had BMW Professional Audio!

Harman Kardon in my F15 X5:



640i with normal BMW Professional Audio (blah):



My incoming new S400L (non hybrid) has the Burnmester sound system as you mentioned.

So, I agree with you. BMW a bit stingy. MB more generous in this field of audio system.

am i correct that you are based overseas? since g12 7 series hasn't arrive here yet. you're doing well. why not get something more special other than BMW or Merc? or have already.

Hi chuakz, I better not derail this thread & cause it to go off topic, so let's just concentrate on the different sound systems available - as you were saying the GLC comes with the Burmester system, and here's a couple of pictures of my 2 week-old G12 (I moved down to Singapore some years ago, but I guess you could say my heart is still very much the Kampung Boy that I was growing up) with the Harman Kardon system (the last picture is that of an identical G12 at BMW's parking lot - my 740Li has been tinted quite dark at the rear, and you cannot see the HK lettering at the back speakers).

The front (I suspect these are) tweeters (I personally love the mood lighting - I got it set to iliac, and I also love how they include full leather & double stitched everything for the interior):


The back (I suspect these may be woofers?) - as mentioned, this is a different G12 compared to mine (my interior is Mocha colored Nappa leather), but the HK system is the same:


And here are the drillz of the fact that I am talking about the all new G12, and not some randomly photographed car that I picked up from google pictures - the car key - in it's standby mode:


And when I turn it on to check on the status of my car:


OK. I'll stop yapping on about Harman Kardon now, and let this thread go back to its intended purpose.
