It was thought that Brexit could sink the UK economy, send the euro zone into recession, and even send the global economy into freefall. But there’s one area of the automotive industry that’s likely to remain unscathed – and that’s the luxury SUV space. They’re seemingly untouchable! Manufacturers can’t make enough. So, which is best for you?
Brexit sent shivers down the spine of the global economy. But more than the economy, it sends more worrying signals of isolationism and xenophobia. But let’s leave race and lineage out of this comparison, shall we?
Let’s not concern ourselves with whether the Germans will get along with the Swede, or whether they’re even prepared to acknowledge the Brit in their midst. The Land Rover, by the way, has perhaps the most to lose – since Europe is the biggest market for Jaguar Land Rover at present. But let’s leave the political and economic ramifications for later on. What we’re here to do is decide which one of these Europeans (the Indian-owned British Land Rover included) is best. Arup is batting for the GLC, Abhishek has chosen to back the Discovery Sport, Rahul is smitten by the BMW, and Shivank prefers the sensible Swede. So, let’s see who makes the most convincing argument.
Mercedes-Benz GLC
GLAMOUR BABE
Arup Das
I’m not going to harp on about the GLC’s gorgeous looks. Take a moment, and look at it. If you don’t find it stunning, then I’m compelled to say that you lack taste. It’s all about the finer details. So, even in foggy and snowy conditions, the beautiful rear LED lamps are bright enough to dazzle you.
