Since the Mercedes GLK was never available as an RHD, Mercedes couldn't enter the luxury SUV segment comprising of the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. With the GLC, that's about to change, as it is not only available as an RHD, but will also be locally assembled at their plant in Chakan, Pune. It's expected to arrive in June 2016
