By 2040 the UK Government hopes to completely ban the sale of pure petrol and diesel cars. Yet look at the statistics for 2018 and you鈥檒l see that a mini-revolution has been brewing. While diesel models used to account for nearly half of all British new car sales, registrations are down by 29.8 per cent and now stand at one third, and falling. The petrol-powered Mercedes GLC 250 therefore seems like a car appropriate for the times. It鈥檚 a relatively new addition to the GLC line-up; aimed squarely at buyers nervy of diesel鈥檚 demise. On paper at least, it fills a neat, emerging gap in the market, and out on the road it feels like a pretty convincing option. Using Mercedes鈥?latest 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine, the GLC 250 injects a bit more refinement into the 鈥榚veryday鈥?(sub-AMG) end of the GLC line-up, which previously was a diesel-only zone.
Add the optional Air Body Control suspension set-up on our car (a 拢350 option), and the 250 immediately becomes the quietest and most comfortable member of the GLC pack. With the brand鈥檚 mid-size SUV a less dynamic proposition than a BMW X3, Jaguar F-Pace or Porsche Macan, the petrol motor feels perfectly at home here. You probably won鈥檛 miss the extra grunt of the 250 d model, either. While the petrol version鈥檚 350Nm torque figure leaves it 150Nm down on the diesel, it weighs 120kg less - and as such it outguns its sibling from a performance perspective. Every version gets the same high-quality interior, with enough space for all the family and their luggage. While the infotainment system is starting to show its age alongside more modern Mercedes models such as the G-Class, it鈥檚 still packed with tech. This version costs around 拢1,000 less than its diesel-powered GLC 250 d twin, and sits in a lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) company car tax band, too. But there鈥檚 no avoiding the fact that the petrol GLC will cost more to run. Official fuel economy of 37.2mpg puts it near enough 10mpg shy of the entry-level 220 d. Even the 250 d will officially return more than 45mpg - so while the petrol car is an enticing proposition, it鈥檚 likely only to find favour with lower-mileage motorists.
I am 22, so a lot of dealerships are somewhat iffy allowing someone my age to sit in and drive the vehicles in the price range these cars are in. Aaron was very informative, and allowed me to drive 2 cars, both of which sticker well over 250 thousand dollars. He wasn't pushy, or rude in his approach. We purchased a pre-owned Mercedes GLK for about a month now. Our salesman was Justin, who was extremely helpful and professional. The entire process was smooth. The service was excellent. We didn't even have to come pick up our license plate, it was Fedex to our house. If you're in the market for a pre-owned luxury car I highly recommend them. Just picked up a pre-owned Huracan from Phillipe and I've never had a more painless experience. He and the sales manager Zack met my every expectation as to what buying a high line car should be. Courtesy, respect, promptness, and overall professionalism are what I experienced from them. I can't thank those guys enough for the first class service I received throughout my transaction. I appreciate their efforts, and will definitely be sending future business their way!

Most Grand Cherokee models from the past decade have been powered by V-6 or V-8 gasoline engines, with a choice between rear- and four-wheel drive. A turbodiesel is now in the lineup, and for 2015, the Grand Cherokee receives moderate styling updates, and more powerful for its slightly bonkers SRT edition. With its luxurious interior and in-cabin technology, to its SRT and turbodiesel models, the Grand Cherokee can assume many identities--everything between luxury SUV and tough off-roader.
