Hey Ola, how about this? You behind the wheel of the all-new electric GLC and 30 minutes of pure driving adrenaline. Are you in?
That sounds good, but there is someone I need to bring with me.
Sarah, great to see you. How are you doing?
I am about to be better because I hear you have some challenges for us.
Absolutely! Look at this beauty. It is the new all-electric GLC and today, we have to complete five challenges. Why don’t you give me those envelopes and you drive.
Okay, let’s do it. Envelope one here. Ola, are you ready?
All right. It says: From zero to 100, test the all-new electric GLC’s instant acceleration and smooth control. You are up for it?
But let me warn you. This is an electric car - massive torque, massive power. Even though this is an everyday commuter car, it is going to feel like you are driving an AMG GT.
Well, I will be the judge of that, Ola.
Okay, here we go! We are at zero: 3, 2, 1, go!
Oh my God! It takes off! It is like being in an airplane!
And that was the hundred already. In an AMG GT, you would say: 'That is what I bought'. But you are in a GLC, our most selling model, and you believe you are in a sports car.
It definitely felt sporty. I only need to do that one once.
Ola, envelope number two.
Tight turns, fast direction changes, race through the slalom as quickly and precisely as you can.
Okay. The slalom, my personal favourite. To keep things interesting I will…
Oh, you have a cup of coffee!
Okay. So I have a lot of responsibility here.
This being an SUV, normally you would say this is a comfy ride, right?
But with the battery, the centre of gravity is really low. The suspension is tight, top of the line air suspension. Let’s see what this baby can do.
Let’s see how she handles.
Wow! Okay! Oh, she is tight. Yes. Okay.
Let’s see how many you knocked down.
Could have been the wind.
Like a professional skier, you just graze it.
My coffee is still in the cup, that’s what counts.
Good! That worked. Kudos to the engineers!
Okay. Clue number three. I have a feeling I know what it is going to be. Okay. Let’s see.
This is for outside the car. It says: Everyday capacity check, see how much space the GLC really offers and how much you can fit into the trunk. Should we give it a go?
Open the trunk, I will get the first bag.
It looks like we ran out of space for the groceries.
This is full, but I have a magic word for you.
It is not trunk, it is frunk.
Let’s go to the frunk. Here we go. Plenty of space in there. No problem.
Perfect. The frunk saves the day.
Let’s go to challenge four. Ola, no time to lose. Clue number four.
