In today's connected and tech savvy world, an advanced and hi-tech infotainment system goes a long way in making the car a value offering. In recent times we have seen even mass car brands building up on that front and that means premium carmakers will have to offer a bit extra to maintain the novelty. The latest MBUX system by Mercedes-Benz is a step in this direction and helps the carmaker to maintain its dominance by keeping the sense of exclusivity and premiumness intact. It's already been sometime that the world has seen the system in updated models like the 2019 GLE and GLS and now it has finally arrived in India in the new GLC facelift as a standalone product for the time being.
