The Mercedes GLC 220d delivers on functionality and smooth steering, but its touch-sensitive switchgear needs work

Konkan coast, mileage boast

The GLC 220d has very little body roll and turns into corners with the reassurance of a sedan. The steering too is superbly direct with lots of feel so you can hustle the GLC through corners with a fair degree of accuracy.

Mumbai-Dapoli-Mahabaleshwar-Mumbai with just one tankful of diesel and with a quarter tank to spare. There was no range anxiety on this 550 km drive in the Mercedes GLC 220d. If anything, this weekend was an education in a lot of things. First, that there are lots of hidden gems within a weekend's reach from Mumbai, and Dapoli is one of them. The Fern Samali hotel is the best place in town, and they arrange a tour of their in-house mango orchard, where you can pluck and savour the juiciest Alphonsos. For mango lovers like me, this place is paradise.
