Model History

2024-

Current Generation

The redesigned GLC Coupe launched with a 255-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that uses 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Two performance versions are available, the AMG 63 S E Coupe is the brand's first performance hybrid SUV coupe, featuring a 671 hp system output. The AMG 43 Coupe features 416 hp. The GLC Coupe is among a small number of SUVs that blend car-like styling with SUV ride height and capabilities. The curved roof brings compromises to cargo space. The cabin is similar to the latest wave of Mercedes-Benz models, with a digital instrument cluster and three large, circular vents in the center dash. The GLC Coupe has a 12.3-inch center screen that looks like a tablet computer stuck on the dash. This hosts the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system. AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, reverse automatic emergency braking are standard.

2017-2023

2017 Redesign Year

A coupelike SUV, the GLC Coupe, is based on the rounded GLC that replaced the GLK. Plush furnishings inside the quiet cabin are very appealing, although it also has Mercedes' complex infotainment system. The 241-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder delivers ample power, and is matched to a nine-speed automatic that shifts smoothly and in a timely manner. We got an overall 22 mpg overall when we tested the GLC. The GLC rides comfortably and handles with athleticism. The seats are very comfortable all around, although the rear seats are a bit snug. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking is standard, but other safety gear like blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert comes in confusing options packages. A 3.0-liter V6 turbo AMG GLC43 version is also available. For 2020, the GLC Coupe was refreshed, and is powered by a 255-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The cabin is similar to the latest wave of Mercedes-Benz models, with a digital instrument cluster and three large, circular vents in the center dash. The GLC Coupe has a 10-inch center screen that looks like a tablet computer stuck on the dash. This hosts the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, which uses artificial intelligence to customize the driver’s experience and can adapt to the user. AMG 43, 63, and 63 S versions are available as well. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard.
