Jawan, Family Man Star Priyamani Raj Drives Home A Brand New Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV

Many celebrities have recently been opting for the large and plush SUVs such as the Mercedes-Maybach GLS and Lamborghini Urus. However, actress Priyamani Raj has brought home the more compact 2023 GLC SUV as her latest ride. Yes, it might not be as humongous as a Maybach GLS, but more compact means it's easier for her to get around the bustling Mumbai roads. 

For her latest ride, Priya Mani opted for the classy Polar White shade. While the interior of her GLC remains unseen, we do know that the refreshed GLC showcases white leather upholstery with a striped wooden panel on the dashboard. The new interior boasts a richer and more sophisticated aesthetic, and you can tap here to view it along with our experience with the SUV in our first drive report.

The actress recently starred in the blockbuster movie ‘Jawan,’ starring alongside B-town star Shah Rukh Khan. Apart from this, she is recognized for her performances in South Indian films such as ‘Neru,’ ‘Bhamakalapam 2,’ and the recent Bollywood movie ‘Article 370,’ which highlights the aftermath of the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. She has also received widespread praise for her performance in the Amazon web series ‘The Family Man.’

The GLC stands one step above Mercedes' entry-level SUV offering, the GLA. It is offered with either a 197 PS 2-litre petrol engine or a 258 PS 2-litre diesel engine, both paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Priced between Rs 74.20 lakh and Rs 75.20 lakh (ex-showroom), it rivals the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60.
