The only gap in its specifications sheet is the omission of Hyundai’s Bluelink connectivity, meaning that owners cannot remotely monitor / control the vehicle’s charging, or enjoy the benefit of over-the-air (OTA) updates for the car’s infotainment.

Malaysians love the last-gen Mercedes-Benz GLC, the X253. Since its launch in 2016, over 12,000 units of the SUV have been sold in the country and that is one of the reasons why Malaysia is selected as the launch market for the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC (X254) in Southeast Asia.
