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.

It's here ! Got the car yesterday.

Today mistakenly changed the gear to neutral twice while trying to take a corner.
Need to get used to gearshift of the right side of steering wheel.

Congratulations. Please post pictures. Let us all share you pride and joy!!!!

very nice @wobbles and congrats @noregrets!

Hey Wobbles, nice pic and nice car.

Congratulations there. Show some pics.

Actually, that's a good idea. We should show some pictures of our pride and joy vehicles for the rest of the forum to share

Better ask permission from thread starter or start a new thread. Otherwise might get a warning from mod.

I took your excellent suggestion and have started a new thread for that purpose... Am now waiting for you to grace that thread with pictures of your spanking new ride!

I have no problem. Do show pics

Can't wait till tomorrow....

Remember to share pictures of your ride tmr bro! We will wait for you at the new car picture thread with great anticipation

Oi! your dream car just launched. RM330k quite cheap in't it?

wow, very impressed with the kits on offer.

RM329k, about similar price as Q5 (225HP) & X3 (184HP) but added features incl :

- 360 degree camera
- 9 G-tronics
- 13-speaker Burmester Surround Sound
- 20 inch wheels
- Garmin, sound aftermarket but users should be able to update map easily I hope
- Dynamic select, 5 modes not sure this means adaptive dampers or not

Overall it's a very good package.

When are you going to bite, my friend? hehehe

He might be on RM3.3mil per annual salary already.

haha, not for me, at least for the next 2 years.

My current ride is good enough, not any inferior to GLC so no urge to be honest.

What I don't really like is the pathetic 7.1 screen when the W205, and even the old FL B-class goes 8+ inch...

prefer the edition 1. sourcing for it atm.

want the two tone designo seats.

wah.... not bad not bad. RM328,888 with AMG kit. Heard there are plans to bring in CKD soon too.

Bila nak beli, bro? Share pics when you do ya!

Sigh...didn't manage to go check them out this weekend. However, a friend of mine who went was told that CKD will be coming out sometime May/ June this year.

Went for a test drive yesterday. Was told that CKD will only arrive sometime in September instead. Was also told that models on sale now are 2015 models. 2016 will only arrive in May.

Anyone can confirm that?

Went to C&C roadshow at 1 Utama yesterday. Was told all batches arrived before Apr are produced in 2015. 2016 CBU will only arrive after Apr. CKD timeframe not sure but the plan is confirmed.

Look at the AMG fitting, 20" wheel, it appears to be a good buy compared to CKD X3 and CBU Q5. But, the sales person I talked to was not sure where this right hand drive version is produced.

stop promoting ur own site + check before you post ... that two different car.

anyone has update on GLC200 launch date? sale team had been briefed on this model.

Launched last Aug. Good value for money. RM288,888 OTR without insurance.

Why not get the GLC250 with 4Matic, more power and many extras...?

My sister collected the GLC200 last week, if me, I will definitely add 37k for GLC250 instead.

For a mere 37k different, better get 250 as few more goodies.

Having the 250 for 6 months now, well enjoying it

GLC250 will be discontinued soon, production will be stopped. Wait list 2-3 months.

GLC200 is good enough for city driving and for those who don't drive fast.

You drive a Honda obviously ! 😆

Not that easy, it's still 2.0 turbocharged, but one of the embarrassment is no keyless entry, I think Perodua already have keyless entry right?

Driven both, power, look and accessories wise hands down to GLC250.

But GLC200 without sunroof and smaller rim, thus the cabin is more quiet

Merc Agility Finance gives a guaranteed future value for the car.

I compared GLC200 an GLC250 guaranteed future value in 5 years time. The difference is RM14k; a reduction of RM23k from selling price difference.

U dun need those to lose to proton, myvi and hondas.. nice luxury cars is for driving pleasure.. speeding is for kids.. especially on our roads.. if u noticed, even ferraris and lambos are driven within speed limits..

only lose to civic 1.5 turbo and accord 2.4

but I hardly see civic turbo drive madly fast after toll booth. Accord 2.4 more worse. Majority uncle drive. Got potential but all drive leisure only.

Proton really, got fast proton liao .

guaranteed future value depends on loan tenure, downpayment amount and fixed annual mileage.

you can go to MBM website and try out the onsite GFV calculator.

Honda and proton so what! My kancil can smoke these two to space !

The problem is the 250 is being discontinued soon. Would you still recommend getting the 250 over the 200?

Only if you really need the additional power of GLC250, that you should buy it before the model is discontinued very soon. MBM is focusing on selling GLC200 now.

I’m satisfied with my GLC200.

Anyone heard they could be discontinuing the GLC250 for the GLC350e? That would be sweet, other than the loss of trunk space... heard from merz glenmarie last weekend.

Also, can anyone explain why one should take agility financing, other than the lower monthly payment?

from what i calculated for the GLC250, at 5 years, 10% DP and 1.88% for HP rate, the difference between your agility payment and HP payment has to be invested at 20% p.a. return products to be able to afford the buyout at end of year 5.

even assuming 2.65% HP rate, you need 15.2% return to afford the buyout.

You sound like an accountant! The condition on agility financing is that you have to get another mercs at the end of the tenure! 5 years die die must service your car at the franchise sc, this is where they suck you kao Kao! I preferred the GLC250 simply for its AMG look!

I dont know about the figures, hopefully someone else can help you with that, but I do know that they will indeed be discontinuing the GLC 250 as the price point would be similar, and it would the GLC350e hybrid replacing it

GLC 43 is the way to go

lol sure if money ain't an issue and you want a merz over a porsche. if you going for a mid-size suv at that price range, macan would probably be top of the list.

even the lady in glenmarie said haven't sold a unit so far.

Some questions:

1) GLC200 price seems to have increased in 2018.
288,888 > 291,888

2) Is it confirmed that GCL250 will be discontinued? When would GLC350E be coming in?

Any GLC200 Owners here?

GLC200 only has Keyless Start but not Keyless Go.

Has anyone here retrofitted Keyless Go in your GLC200?

Smells like voiding your warranty on your sub 300k car.. you sure it’s wise if possible?

Hi All,

Do you all have any mercedes sales person contact to share? See still got jalan to get GLC250 or not.

Yuppp =D look for my friend Teng Teng @ Mercedes Trec

Teng Teng leng Loi or not? Which dealer ah?

Lols u go see then u know bro xD leng lui + leng car wey mercedes showroom @ trec

please let me know if you can find any stks.... i'm also interested on GLC 250 but i was told (by Hap Seng and CCB) to wait till Nov/Dec ..... seriously?? so many on waiting list? i couldn't believe it..... i thinking it must be MBM holding the stks since they have done enough for the sales due to zero GST...

The line has always been long for the GLC 250! If not you buy the GLC 250 coupe lor!

I’m waiting since July for the GLC250. Till now, smell also cannot. Dunno when they are going to release from production to the showroom. 😅

Was told now the waiting period very long and such a hot car. I saw at least 2 were unloading at Hap Seng near LDP Puchong barat, and wonder who are the lucky owner getting it.

I waited almost 2 months last year, after harassing the SA continuously

FL otw Liao! Pull handbrake gua!

GLc facelift hasn’t been revealed in Germany. So it will be at least 6 months more before it arrives here.

C class was unveiled months ago and it hasn’t arrived yet...pretty busy schedule for Mercedes Malaysia as they also have to launch A class also.

Omg..I can understand the zero GST and then the SST transition period, but the waiting period, haiyaaaa ..boring betul😛. My hubby got fed up harrassing the SA hahaha..I don’t even know what number we are on the waiting list. Looks like wait forever la like this 😅

Glad you got your car ..how was it? 😊

Ok, wait till next year la like this. Hahaha..Thanks for the heads up though.

Haha..... Ya ya, needs to persistently harass the SA until he / she cannot tahan your hubby

It's a great car and so far no complaint all round, loves diving at night with LED intelligent light system with adaptive highbeam assist, though not as great as Multibeam system, but really enjoy driving at night with good vision.

Maybe certain driver dislikes the hard set up of the suspension as mine earlier batch with sports suspension, current batch perhaps better with agility control system.

Just saw another 4 GLC unloading at HSS branch, perhaps they speed up delivery?

Haaaaaha thanks for the review. I’m so gonna harrass the poor SA tomorrow la. It’s quite disheartening to wait and wait but it’s ok la. We’ve booked the GLC at Hap Seng Punchong branch but still no news on the status , the best that the SA told us was to wait and it might be release to owners in October. Hope long lifeeeeee la till then. Ahaks.😂

I kinda love the LED light systems going on with it..for a lady driver like me, ok la kan that size of a car. The only thing I know is just to put fuel in it only..the technical stuffs I let the hubs handle la. I might need practice driving an SUV for it’s my first time purchasing it. Usually drive normal car je. I hope it’s going to be easy for me to drive and I don’t kelam kabut😝.

How come you get to see all these new GLCs unloading and all? Well I can say none of it has my name on it yet coz my SA also no news about it. Nevermind la..#WaitingGameSucks🤭

Oh! You booked from HS Puchong, there is where I saw them unloading as I passed by every morning on my way to work hope you get it soon.

Geee thanks. I hope so though...🙏🏼😊

Anyone looking at the new gle?

Other than adapting to the size of the car, the 2 hardest thing that you need to learn to adapt is :
1) the transmission changing stalk, it is now behind the steering. Need conscious effort in remembering that for the first few weeks to months to really get used to that.
2) if before the GLC you're driving japanese car, the the wiper and signal stalk are at opposite directions. There will be some initial embarrassing moments where you want to use signal but instead activated the wiper.

-congrats on the new car, understand your excitement every bit

Transmission lever is classic. Simply takes away the fun of driving I feel...usually in changing gears, your eyes will be on the transmission knob. Now you will have to make the fullest use of both your eyes, one of the stick and the other on the screen to see if it’s shifted to the gear you want

Envy! Time to get bk to work to get money to buy mercs!

Awwww aren’t you the sweetest...😊. Thank you for the heads up. I’m quite familiar with the Mercedes car coz hubs is driving a C class (lupa la what..), but am driving a Ford, so the wiper/signal predicament is under control. Just worried about the size of the GLC, for ya know, it is kinda big for a petite person like me, hahahha 😅. But I do hope it will be a breeze once I get the car (still waiting, turning blue already).
Thanks again, yeah pretty excited though, if I’ve to wait for another 3-4 months for it to arrive, I hope I’ll have the excitement still in me....will let ya know how it goes once the car arrives. Sakit mata only seeing the GLCs on the road now...so many of them now..😂😂

This post has been edited by ezypepper: Sep 30 2018, 12:36 AM

There goes pegang handphone while driving la eh? My mom would be so happy to see that change in me once I get the car, god knows how many times she basically screamed at me not to use handphone while driving and keep my eyes peeled on the road. 🤭😅

And for that purpose, I shall leave my phone in the bag. I mean, I don’t constanly drive and text and whatnots but ya know la..cannot help it. Thanks for the tips ...wish me luck on not getting kelam kabut..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Buy buy buy...hahahaha..good luck ya...🔜 you’ll have a brand new “baby” to drive..although the waiting period sucks. Biasa lah kan..

Nah....couldn't afford! I worry about fuel consumption, maintainance cost and re- sale value! I read that one need to save 10k a month to maintain a conti!

If the driver is not that kind of person from manual car or like to use manual gear shift, then not much of an issue, since the only time changing transmission is when driving off and reversing.

However, i have to agree that it is not intuitive. But, we humans are very good at adapting right?

Ok la....since you used to driving mercedes and european cars, then not an issue lar...

Size of the car not a problem also, seen so many petite ladies driving van before. Gender is never an issue, just need to get used to it only....

Before you know it, you can reverse park without one shot without a second/third adjustment

any news on new facelift or hybrid model?

I thought it's just a little dongle that you can buy to insert into the keyhole.
It was described online as an "obvious money grab" from MB

Hi guys and gals,

Read that there is no left foot rest for the C-classes. What about the GLC? Is there enough space to rest left foot, or cramped? (for a guy's foot )
