Protecting breeding penguins 

aim of Sumner beach boulders 

FIFTEEN boulders placed on 

Sumner beach near Shag Rock 

will help protect white-flippered 

penguins during their nesting 

season. 

When the Coastal Pathway 

was built, nesting boxes were 

included in the rock embankment 

by Shag Rock as it as an area where 

the penguins are known to nest and 

breed between August and February 

each year. 

Over the last breeding season, 

there was evidence of five pairs of 

penguins breeding in the area. 

Said city council transport 

planning and delivery manager 

Lynette Ellis: “We want to make sure 

these penguins have a secure nesting 

spot that is undisturbed by people 

or dogs. On the advice of our coastal 

rangers we recently placed additional 

boulders to give them some more 

protection.” 

She said the white-flippered 

penguin is endemic to Canterbury 

and is classified by the Department 

of Conservation as acutely 

threatened. 

“It is important that we do all we 

can to protect the nesting areas. 

“It’s amazing to have these birds 

breeding in a spot so close to an 

urban area and we want people to 

have a sense of guardianship. The 

last thing we want is people or their 

animals inadvertently disturbing

the nesting penguins.’’ 

Ms Ellis said people can still access 

the beach at Shag Rock from the 

Coastal Pathway but they should use 

the access stairs, which are located 

a bit further along the path towards 

Sumner. 

The city council gained consent to 

place the rocks in January and was 

not required to notify the public. 

But Redcliffs resident Pat McIntosh 

said she believed the city council 

should have told the public what it 

was doing. 

“It came as a bit of a surprise.” 

The city council has been 

contacted five times by 11 different 

people over the boulders – one of 

those was a complaint. 

Meanwhile, the city council 

and Environment Canterbury are 

currently investigating options to 

address the issue of rock spoil which 

has come to the surface of 

the sand near Shag Rock following 

the construction of the Coastal 

Pathway.

THE MYSTERY of why 

boulders appeared near Shag 

Rock has been solved (see 

page 1). 

The 15 boulders will help 

protect white-flippered penguins 

during their nesting 

season from dogs and people. 

Nesting boxes were 

included in the Coastal 

pathway embankment but 

more protection has been 

deemed necessary – hence 

the boulders. 

The penguins nest and 

breed between August and 

February. 

White-flippered penguins 

are acutely threatened so very 

good care needs to be taken 

for their protection. 

So it’s great to see the city 

council doing its bit. 

And for Joe Public – stay 

away and keep your dog on 

a lead if you are near Shag 

Rock. 

That could be easier said 

than done, I suspect.

Funding decisions on projects due 

• By Jess Gibson 

TWO HERITAGE buildings 

in the Bay Harbour News area 

could be getting a spruce up 

with help from the city council. 

Decisions will be made tomorrow 

over a $4872 grant towards 

works on 

Akaroa Lighthouse, 

and a 

$13,549 grant 

towards the 

painting of 2 

Cunningham 

Tce, Lyttelton. 

Tori Peden 

Both grants 

would cover 

50 per cent of 

the funds needed to complete 

each project. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board chairwoman Tori 

Peden said having the heritage 

landmarks being protected and 

taken care of is important. 

“It would keep the character 

and keep our history. We’ve got 

to tell the story of these heritage 

structures and how the history 

of our people came to be.” 

Akaroa’s Lighthouse Preservation 

Society applied for funding 

to carry out maintenance, 

conservation, and display of the 

original clockwork mechanism 

and machinery of the structure 

on Beach Rd. 

The heritage item is New 

Zealand’s only operating decommissioned 

lighthouse and 

one of a very limited number of 

lighthouses in the world which is 

regularly open to the public. 

The lighthouse, constructed

tomorrow over two grants which would be 

used for works on Akaroa Lighthouse and

the community volunteers of 

the LPS, which is reliant on 

donations and grants to support 

their work and maintain the 

structure. 

A separate report by Resource 

Management Group Ltd 

recommends the approval of a 

grant to paint the building at 

2 Cunningham Tce, Lyttelton, 

which was built in the 1870s. 

The recommended grant 

would pay for part of the proposed 

works to the property, 

which has high historical and 

social significance for its association 

with prominent Canterbury 

businessmen and civic figures 

John Thomas Peacock and Peter 

Cunningham. 

In a slightly later period, the 

house has significance for its 

use as a boarding house, and for 

the long period of ownership 

and occupation by the Robson- 

Merrifield family. 

It reflects a characteristic 

feature of Lyttelton life through 

to the mid-20th-century, where 

properties were commonly 

retained in and passed down 

through families over multiple 

generations. 

In Brief 

CRASH SITE INVESTIGATION 

City council traffic engineers 

and police were set yesterday 

to investigate a fatal crash on 

Summit Rd. It would focus on the 

role road infrastructure played in 

a May 19 crash where Anthony 

Deverson, 78, of Wigram, died 

after his car went over a bank 

about 1km from Evans Pass Rd. 

The city council is also looking 

at road safety improvements 

for a different section of the 

road following the death of 

sisters Tayla, 17, and Sunmara 

Alexander, 15, in a crash last year. 

FUNDS FOR PATHWAY 

Funding has been secured for a 

project which will see the Moncks 

Bay section of the Coastal 

Pathway temporarily widened to 

enable social distancing. The city 

council has received more than 

$80,000 from the Government 

to pay for the project, as well as 

another one in the central city 

which involves putting temporary 

measures in place at pedestrian 

and cycling pinch points. 

JETTY BEAM REPLACEMENTS 

Two rotten beams and one rotten 

pile will be replaced at Redcliffs 

Jetty, off Beachville Rd. The 

jetty will be closed and unusable 

during the maintenance period, 

which is scheduled to take place 

from June 2 to June 19.

Online book 

initiative for seniors 

AN ONLINE book programme has 

been set up with older Cantabrians 

in mind, aiming to maintain social 

interaction with others while physically 

distanced. 

Campfire - Stories Read Aloud for 

Adults was created by the city council’s 

libraries staff, featuring a fresh chapter 

read by librarians from a book every 

Wednesday and Friday. 

City council head of libraries and 

information Carolyn Robertson said 

library staff produced the programme 

with “our older adult community in 

mind and in collaboration with Age 

Concern.” 

“It is a story time for seniors as we 

help ensure that our older library users 

remain engaged during the lockdown,” 

she said. 

“We believe 

Campfire can boost 

well-being for older 

adults and bring a 

fresh face – and voice 

– to their day. They 

can watch and listen 

to our librarians as 

they read aloud. 

Ms Robertson 

said for many older 

people who have enjoyed books, listening 

to another voice can bring comfort in 

connection. 

“Some may have also lost the ability to 

read because of poor eyesight or physical 

impairments. We want to hold on to that 

social interaction and love of books.” 

Age Concern Canterbury chief 

executive Simon Templeton has 

welcomed the story time programme, 

describing Campfire as “a great 

initiative.” 

“Older people are often avid readers, 

so any programme that enables people 

to stay connected with their library, with 

others and with reading is great,” Mr 

Templeton said. 

“Some specific groups will benefit, 

including those with vision impairment, 

dexterity issues, or the housebound. I 

think this type of programme will grow 

in popularity as the population ages. 

“I see it as a daily part of residential 

care therapy for rest home residents, and 

the means to have a ‘book club’ for those 

who can’t read. 

“While many older people do not use 

the internet, there is a large number who 

do – and this is growing,” he said. 

Anyone can access Campfire via the 

libraries’ website. 

Stabilisation work 

on slip under way 

• By Jess Gibson 

Carolyn 

Robertson 

A NEW retaining wall is being installed 

on Wainui Main Rd in French Farm to 

stabilise a localised slip which happened 

early last year. 

As well as building the retaining wall, 

city council contractors will carry out 

a partial reconstruction of the road, 

minor drainage works and associated 

civil works. 

The cost of the remediation work will 

cost between $250,000 and $275,0000. 

There will be some noise disturbance 

during the work, which will be carried 

out from 7am to 7pm, Monday to 

Saturday, and the road will be reduced 

to one lane. 

For residents on Wainui Main Rd, 

bins are to be put out as usual before 

6am on the set collection day and the 

crew will move and return them.

Black Cat retains ferry contract 

Phil Clearwater 

BLACK CAT Cruises will 

continue to connect Diamond 

Harbour with Lyttelton by 

sailing across the harbour for 

another 12 years. 

The company, which has been 

operating the Diamond Harbour 

ferry service since 2000, has 

retained its contract by completing 

Environment Canterbury’s 

public transport procurement 

process. 

Transport 

portfolio lead 

councillor 

Phil Clearwater 

said that 

ECan is looking 

forward to 

continuing its 

partnership with Black Cat. 

Together they are still looking 

at options to get a new, lowemission 

vessel as the current 

ferry is nearing end of life. 

Bay Harbour News reported in 

October they aimed to have the 

new vessel in service by 2021 but 

Cr Clearwater said it may now 

be another year out. 

“It’s slower than myself or 

Black Cat would desire but 

equally they are working on it as 

hard as they can. 

“As we investigate options 

for a new vessel, top of mind 

will be our community’s desire 

for a low-emission public 

transport fleet, something we 

heard resoundingly through our 

Regional Public Transport Plan 

consultation. 

He said over the next two 

years, ECan will work alongside 

Black Cat to make an informed 

decision on the propulsion system 

of a new ferry. 

“This will include closely 

watching the results of other 

electric ferry implementations as 

they progress, as well as engaging 

with local Canterbury boat 

builders.” 

The new contract allows for essential 

maintenance work to be 

undertaken on the current ferry 

so it can continue operating for 

the next few years, while plans 

and costs for a new vessel are 

finalised. 

Cr Clearwater said the contract 

period has been extended 

SMOOTH SAILING: 

Black Cat Cruises 

has retained its 

contract for the 

Diamond Harbour 

ferry service.

HUNTER 

from nine years to 12 years and 

will start from November this 

year. 

“The first two years will see 

the contract price remain as it is 

now, except to accommodate the 

critical maintenance work on the 

current vessel. The remaining 10 

years will reflect the new vessel 

build and running costs. 

'The feasibility work done so 

far indicates that the cost of an 

electric vessel could be similar to 

a diesel-powered vessel, so if we 

can be confident that an electric 

vessel can meet the requirements 

of the service then we will 

commission one.” 

Boy racer 

numbers reach 

pre-Covid levels 

• By Matt Slaughter 

POLICE ARE disappointed 

the number of boy racers in 

Lyttelton has increased to pre- 

Covid-19 levels since level 2 

started. 

Canterbury road policing 

manager Inspector Greg Cottam 

said extra police were on patrol 

over the weekend and saw an 

increase in the number of boy 

racers compared to during alert 

level 3. 

“We’re seeing them popping 

up in the normal spots, at the 

airport and over in Lyttelton 

way. 

“Everything’s probably 

returning to normal, which is 

disappointing because we still 

want people behaving. The 

reality is that Covid is still 

here. 

“We have seen more activity 

from that sort of community,” 

he said 

Inspector Cottam said it is 

important drivers take the rules 

of level 2 seriously and police 

will be there to enforce them if 

they do not. 

“We’ll be enforcing the 

restrictions that are set down for 

that, along with any breaches of 

the Land Transport Act.”

Concerns problem gambling 

could rise under Covid-19 climate 

With financial hardship 

and unemployment 

on the rise as a result 

of the Covid-19 crisis, 

could problem gambling 

follow suit? Louis Day 

investigates 

THE NUMBER of people on 

the job seeker benefit across 

Canterbury rose by 4.8 per cent 

last month compared to the same 

period last year. 

The situation is likely to worsen 

with the city’s economic development 

agency ChristchurchNZ 

forecasting 

up to 36,500 

jobs will be 

lost across the 

region over 

the next 12 

months. 

A recent 

Dr Ekant Veer 

survey from 

the Canterbury 

Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce 

showed 63 per cent out of 470 

businesses across the region were 

experiencing “significant financial 

impacts” from Covid-19. The 

survey also showed 30 per cent 

of businesses believed their staffing 

numbers would have to be 

reduced by more than 25 per cent 

in order to survive. 

Canterbury University professor 

of marketing Dr Ekant Veer, 

who closely studies social change 

and consumption patterns, said 

research showed there was a link 

between problem gambling and 

financial hardship. 

“We know that people who 

are facing financial hardship in 

general, not necessarily who are 

unemployed, are more likely to 

gamble. As we see a society in 

where everyone’s incomes are 

taking a hit we may see gambling 

rise as a result of that,” he said. 

Statistics show gambling in 

New Zealand has been on a 

steady incline for the last nine 

years. 

SPIKE: The financial hardship brought on by Covid-19 restrictions and economic downturn is 

expected to bring a spike in problem gambling. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

In 2011 New Zealanders spent 

$2 billion on gambling. Last 

year it had increased to $2.4 billion. 

The most popular form of 

gambling last year was gaming 

machines outside of casinos at 

$924 million which was followed 

by the $616 million spent inside 

of casinos. 

Salvation Army Oasis Centre 

for Problem Gambling team 

leader Graham Payne expected to 

see a spike in gambling as restrictions 

eased, with a particular 

concern over pokie machines 

within pubs and bars. He has 

helped problem gamblers with 

their addictions since 1992. 

“When people who have got 

gambling issues haven’t done it 

for a while there is going to be 

that catch-up phase, that is how 

they operate, ‘I haven’t done it for 

a while I need to catch up I have 

saved all this money.’ I feel that 

issues could really increase over 

the first three to six months with 

the pubs reopening,” he said. 

Mr Payne had also witnessed 

an increase in online gambling 

over the lockdown period and 

expected it to continue even as 

other forms of gambling are 

made available. 

He said early signs of gambling 

becoming an addiction were that 

Andrée

pokie machines. 

“Pokies are the most harmful 

form of gambling in New 

Zealand. The majority of people 

that seek help for a gambling 

problem do so because of pokie 

machines,” she said. 

The foundation is currently 

urging the Government to cut 

back the country’s pokie machines 

in coalition with The 

Salvation Army and Māori health 

agency Hapai te Hauora. 

Ms Froude said the main reason 

behind this was to reduce the 

reliance community groups have 

on grants from pokie trusts, 

but also to reduce gamblingrelated 

harm across the country. 

A letter from the coalition to 

Internal Affairs Minister Tracey 

Martin said the Government 

could easily replace the $242 

million worth of pokie grants 

from within its own funds and 

argued the shutdown of pubs 

and pokie machines due to the 

pandemic presented a “golden 

opportunity” for an overhaul of 

the system.

Readers respond to 

last week’s article 

about Foodstuffs 

South Island’s decision 

to transform Redcliffs 

New World into a Four 

Square 

Julia Pringle – I am 

still disappointed that New 

World will now become a 

Four Square. I will likely 

go to another New World 

instead. 

Ann Newsom – I think 

it may backfire on them actually, 

I’ve spoken to quite 

a number of people who 

have said they’re not going 

to be shopping there if it’s 

going to be a Four Square. I 

wouldn’t do a weekly shop 

there now, like I have been. 

Helen Peate – I do 

all my grocery shopping 

at Redcliffs New World as 

do many of my friends. Nowhere 

have I read or heard 

the reason that it is more 

financially viable for the 

name to change from New 

World to Four Square. Both 

are owned by Foodstuffs. 

So why the name change 

and reduction in staff 

numbers? Are we going to 

get less choice and cheaper 

products or a reduction in 

service? Why has there not 

been an explanation? 

Michaela Hicks – I 

read the article in the newspaper 

about the transition 

for Redcliffs New World to 

become a Four Square. As 

a previous employee there, 

I think that a rebrand is 

good for the store as it is 

not turning over a sustainable 

income. However, 

I would’ve thought they 

could rebrand it to a mini 

Pak’n’ Save like they have 

at Levin, as it would be of 

good size, and the prices 

would be cheaper. I think 

because Four Square is 

more expensive than a New 

World it may not thrive as 

people may go to another 

supermarket.

ONE OF the more 

colourful native birds seen 

around the estuary is the 

welcome swallow or warou. 

In fact, people are often 

surprised the swallow’s 

appearance when they see 

a photo as there are not 

many opportunities to see 

them close up. 

But large flocks are 

common on the edges 

of the estuary and 

particularly around the 

oxidation ponds when 

they are erratically darting 

above the water to catch 

midgets. 

Elsewhere they will also 

feed on flies, moths and 

other small insects. 

Did you know that the 

swallow even drinks water 

in flight? They swoop up 

water as they fly above the 

ponds or estuary. 

The swallow is also one of 

few bird species that sleep 

or rest in flight as they 

prefer to stay airborne 24/7 

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of 

New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each week she 

introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise 

the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area. 

Swallow likes to be airborne 

ABUNDANT: Large 

flocks of welcome 

swallow or warou are 

common on the edges 

of the Avon/Heathcote 

Estuary. 

PHOTO: CLIVE COLLINS 

unless they are nesting. 

They only reach the age 

of about six years, but they 

sure make the most of 

their time by producing 

two, sometimes even three 

clutches of eggs per season. 

The female will incubate 

the eggs alone but feeding 

the chicks is a shared 

task with help from other 

swallow family members. 

It is so lovely to see how 

some bird species use this 

combined effort and share 

the load of chick feeding 

duties. 

The other notable fact 

is how the swallow has 

adapted so cleverly to 

civilisation and now prefers 

to build their cup-shaped 

nests under the eaves of 

homes away from direct 

sunlight, or under bridges 

or culverts. 

The swallow is another 

truly stunning and amazing 

bird in our estuary 

worth looking after - so 

how can we help them to 

thrive? 

Predator control, picking 

up litter when we see it and 

of course, keeping our dogs 

on the lead. Luckily the 

city council has established 

great dog parks all around 

the city so no excuse to 

let dogs roam around our 

estuary. 

No lawn too big. 

No job too small.

Tasty Bites 

Quick and easy fried rice 

• By Ian Knott 

Quick, easy and versatile, 

fried rice can be used 

as a side dish or main 

meal. This tasty version is 

loaded with vegetables 

and can be transformed 

into something even 

greater by adding your 

favourite protein 

The best fried rice 

4-6 servings 

Ingredients 

3 tbsp butter, divided 

2 eggs, whisked 

2 medium carrots, peeled, diced 

1 small white onion, diced 

½ cup frozen peas 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

salt and black pepper 

4 cups cooked and chilled rice 

3 green onions, thinly sliced 

3-4 tbsp soy sauce 

2 tsp oyster sauce (optional) 

½ tsp toasted sesame oil 

Directions 

Heat ½ tbsp of butter in a large 

sauté pan over medium-high 

heat until melted. Add egg, and 

cook until scrambled, stirring 

occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer 

to a separate plate. 

Add an additional 1 tbsp of butter 

to the pan and heat until melted. Add 

carrots, onion, peas, garlic, and season 

with a generous pinch of salt and 

pepper. Sauté for about 5min or until 

the onion and carrots are soft. Increase 

heat to high, add in the remaining ½ 

tbsp of butter, and stir until melted. 

Immediately add the rice, green onions, 

soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), 

and stir until combined. Continue stirring 

for an additional 3min to fry the rice. 

Then add in the eggs and stir to combine. 

Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame 

oil until combined. Taste and season with 

extra soy sauce, if needed. 

Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a 

sealed container for up to 3 days. 

Top tips 

It’s important to use cold, cooked rice. 

So plan ahead and have some prepared. 

Warm rice doesn’t tend to fry well when 

it hits the hot pan and becomes soggy, 

sticky clumps. 

If you haven’t planned ahead, just 

cook up a fresh batch of rice, spread it 

out as thinly as possible on a backing 

tray and put it in the fridge for 30min 

(or freezer for 10-15min). 

Use a high heat. This will help 

brown the rice and vegetables, and 

prevent the rice from steaming in 

the pan. Don’t leave it sitting too 

long though. Nobody wants burnt 

fried rice.

by Jazz thornton 

A hard-hitting, thought-provoking account of surviving suicide attempts 

and moving on to a better life, which provides practical help and 

inspiration to anyone affected by depression or suicide. Jazz Thornton first 

attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Multiple attempts followed 

and she spent time in psychiatric wards and under medical supervision as 

she rode the rollercoaster of depression and anxiety through her teenage 

years - yet the attempts continued. Find out what Jazz learned about 

how her negative thought patterns came to be, and how she turned those 

thoughts - and her life - around. Who and what helped, and what didn’t 

help. The insights she gives will help create greater understanding of those 

grappling with mental illness, and provide support for those around them 

who desperately want to help. Jazz went on to attend film school, and to co-found Voices of Hope, a 

non-profit organisation dedicated to helping those with mental health issues and show them there is 

a way forward. She creates online content to provide hope and help.

Chardonnay a true 

peach of a grape 

• By Mark Henderson 

A HUGE number of 

variables can influence 

the retail price of a bottle 

of wine, including the 

amount and consequent 

cost of viticultural and 

winemaker input, yield per 

hectare, oak usage, scarcity, 

demand, market position 

and market forces. 

Today’s collection of 

chardonnays covers the 

gamut of pricing from 

widely available value-formoney 

offerings through 

to scarce, limited-release 

bottlings. 

It’s a reminder of the 

variety of styles produced 

with this grape that can 

certainly offer something 

for everyone. 

2018 Kono Nelson 

Chardonnay 

Price: $19.95 

Rating: Very good to 

excellent 

Attractively fragrant 

nose, Fruit driven with ripe 

tropical fruits, peach and 

warm bread. Creamy entry 

and good texture, a hint 

of oak underlay backing 

the ripe fruits, showing 

good richness through the 

mouth with bright lift from 

a grapefruit-like touch on 

the close. Not huge but 

generous nevertheless. 

Lovely drinkability.

2018 Main Divide 

North Canterbury 

Chardonnay 

Price: $20.99 

Rating: Good to very good 

Powerful nose with 

smoke and struck match, 

a backdrop of white peach 

and stonefruits. Smoky, 

charry notes dominate 

the palate, while the fruit 

has a sweet ’n’ sour zing to 

it. No doubting the fruit 

intensity, and possibly 

crowd appeal, but the 

apricot kernel bittersweet 

note masks the finish for 

me.

Vineyard Gimblett 

Gravels Chardonnay 

Price: $80 

Rating: Outstanding 

Expressively fragrant

while there’s clear power 

here, it retains a wonderful 

lightness, brightness and 

energy.

Price: $44 

Rating: Excellent 

Brooding nose offering 

struck match and a saline, 

seashell-like note with

Tropical fruits and 

pineapple pop their heads 

up, too. Creaminess, with 

tropical and stonefruits 

melding with citrus and 

almond-led nuttiness on 

the long close.

Lifted nose with 

(West’s) pineapple & pear, 

fruit sherbet and melon. 

There’s a cool wellspring 

filling the palate led by 

nectarine hints, though 

with riper pineapple and 

topical fruit seasoned with 

oak as the wine aerates. 

Creamy texture, notable 

viscosity, with power and 

weight in the mouth. 

Potential yet to come,

2019 Jules Taylor 

Marlborough 

Chardonnay 

Price: $24.99 

Rating: Very good to 

excellent 

Fruit jubes and ripe 

pears lead, evolving 

to peach, spices and 

perfumed oak. An oily 

richness frames the palate. 

Peach and stonefruits flow 

through the palate to a 

lightly tannic, long nutty 

finish. The bright acidity 

adds a lemony hint and 

freshness. Youthful, but 

already drinking very 

nicely.

MERCEDES-Benz has a huge 

range of sport utility vehicles. 

That is no surprise, the market 

is demanding cars that cater for 

many roles – family transport as 

well as practicality. 

The most popular SUV in the 

luxury car maker’s range is the 

GLC and, not surprisingly, it is 

available in a series which accounts 

for eight variants. There 

is a petrol-electric hybrid model, 

a plug-in EV, and those with 

the choice of four, six or eightcylinder 

engines; there’s even a 

two-wheel-drive model. 

However, most incorporate the 

4Matic system which sends drive 

to each corner. 

It must also be noted that the 

GLC is a series which incorporates 

coupe-type models as well 

as the traditional SUV. 

The entire GLC range has just 

had a bit of a refresh, there’s been 

a styling change, and buyers now 

have the choice of varying suspension 

types, depending on how 

the vehicle will be used, and the 

surfaces it is likely to travel on, on 

a daily basis. 

The range spans prices from 

$87,600 to $187,400. 

The vehicle this evaluation focuses 

on is GLC 300, a mid-range 

SUV which lists at $102,500 in 

standard form. 

The 300 effectively replaces 

the 250 from a year or two back. 

Put simply, the four-cylinder 

turbocharged petrol engine has 

had a power and torque increase, 

up from 155kW and 350Nm to 

190kW and 370Nm. 

The increase doesn’t affect the 

silent and smooth operation of 

the 2-litre, four cylinder unit. It is 

a high-performing engine but it 

does everything without making 

a fuss, it searches the rev band 

well but works fluidly through 

the mid-range, maximum torque 

arrives at 1800rpm and spreads to 

4000rpm, and with peak power 

arriving at just 5800rpm there is 

no drop-off in performance. 

A lot of that is also garnered 

through the seamless flow of 

gearing courtesy of a nine-speed 

automatic transmission. 

This engine is a powerhouse 

through the whole acceleration 

process, it will cut out a standstill 

to 100km/h time of 6.1sec, and 

will make 120km/h from 80km/h 

in 3.8sec. Steering wheel-mounted 

paddle shifters will assist the 

driver if he/she decides to take 

control over the acceleration 

process. 


Many options in Mercedes-Benz GLC range 

MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300: Boost in power for 2020. 

It wouldn’t be a world-class 

engine unless you get the benefits 

of thrifty fuel usage, and that is 

certainly the case in the 300. It 

is rated by Mercedes-Benz with 

an 8.1-litre per 100km combined 

cycle average. 

These figures are all quite 

remarkable for a vehicle which 

weighs in a little tubby at 1804kg, 

but the point is that the engineering 

which is coming out of 

European factories at the moment 

is at the forefront of technology, 

and the GLC is just one example 

of performance and economy all 

rolled into one. 

Time was a little against me on 

the day I went testing and I didn’t 

venture as far as I would normally 

travel in an evaluation car. However, 

on the roads west heading 

home through Burnham and Lincoln 

I got a thorough understanding 

of the GLC’s behaviour on 

the seal, and I enjoyed its nimble 

and agile nature given that it is a 

mid-size SUV. 

Riding on huge 20in Pirelli rubber, 

there is positive steering feel 

and unyielding grip. 

As you would expect from 

Mercedes-Benz, the GLC is full 

of luxury appointments, it has 

the kit to make you feel you 

have bought a lot of car, and it is 

intensely comfortable to ride in, 

even for five occupants. 

One of the standout features 

is the voice recognition operating 

system which takes command 

over many of the in-cabin 

functions. By opening with “hey 

Mercedes’’ you can instruct the 

vehicle to do many of the adjustments 

you would normally do by 

hand. This could well be seen as a 

safety device allowing the driver’s 

hands to remain on the steering 

wheel and to keep concentration

Safety has been at the forefront 

of Mercedes-Benz’s manufacturing 

operation for as long as I can 

remember, and the company’s 

entire range has a high ingredient 

of built-in-safety features. The 

GLC is brimming with all the 

electronic functions which are 

not far from offering autonomous 

operation. 

Some of them I could do without, 

but the automotive world is 

demanding vehicles intervene 

on their own accord if collisions 

seem imminent and Mercedes- 

Benz has answered that call. 

The GLC is just another 

example of what make 

Mercedes-Benz so desirable as 

a manufacturer. The company 

has recognised that buyers want 

plenty of choice and the GLC 

coupe and SUV options are 

extensive. 

Personally, I’d be opting for 

the 63 S, just the thought of that 

thundering V8 under the bonnet 

is enough to make my heart race.
