If there is it would seemingly be unfair to single out the GLC Coupe – revealed in NY after a former appearance as a thinly veiled concept – for particular criticism, given Mercedes is simply catering to apparently insatiable demand for such things. We can also expect the Mercedes-AMG GLC43 Coupe with its 3.0 turbo V6 to come to the party at a later date and the range-topping Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 Coupe with the known 4.0 biturbo V8 is also scheduled – most likely coming sometimes next year. You could, of course, save a bunch of cash by just starting with a auto with normal ride height and not have to pay extra for the “convenience” of being able lower it to heave your bags into the boot.
They have teased a sketch of the vehicle and by the looks of it, the GLC Coupe might have one of the best designs in Mercedes’ stable.
Underneath the swept-back skin lies the same tried-and-true powertrains purloined from the regular GLC. Another possible powertrain for the coupe would be the standard GLC’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 241 horsepower. Both cars feature a nine-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. The GLC43 Coupe is clearly the quicker of the two. Then, it will have powerful variants like the AMG version with 4.0-litre turbo engine for those who crave for gas guzzlers. The only performance figures provided is a sub five-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Extra dynamic character over the regular GLC also stems from a faster steering ratio – 15.1:1 rather than 16.1:1 – and further focus on handling and body control in the suspension settings.
