So, One of my friend was on the lookout for a luxury SUV in the 50-60L bracket and after much deliberation, has closed in on the Mercedes GLC.
But now, he's torn between the Petrol & the Diesel variant
Turbo Petrol:
+ V6 like power (50% more than 220D)
+ Diesel like flat torque curve
+ Lower in cabin NHV
+ Lower maintenance cost
+ Lower resale value
On road price is almost similar, with less than Rs. 50,000 premium for the Petrol. Clearly, the heart says Petrol, but the SA is strongly advising to go with the Diesel saying it will have a better resale value.
So need your advice on which would be the wiser option keeping in mind that this will be self driven and max usage would be between 10-15k per annum.
Waiting for your advices.
