This year saw the birth of the second generation Mercedes GLC and like the first model, there will be a Coupe variant with AMG power. We’re yet to see the launch of the new GLC Coupe, but the latest images suggest the flagship AMG version won’t be far behind.
Considering the popularity of coupe-SUVs and the fact that GLC SUV To be Mercedes’ The best-selling car in the world, there is no doubt that the GLC Coupe AMG will return.
Previous spy images of the regular GLC Coupe have shown us the front will have a design that is almost identical to the standard one. SUV but with sleeker headlights that blend into the front grille. The grille is made up of dozens of Mercedes three-pointed star logos and features a revised lower bumper.
For the AMG model, we expect to see a revised grille with performance variants typical vertical strips and aggressive air intakes. On the side, we’ll see larger discs and calipers to cope with the extra performance, along with custom wheels and fatter tires than you’ll see on this test car. The rear end of the AMG model looks almost identical to the normal GLC Coupe test car, except for the four-tailpipe exhaust – a key element of AMG models.
Just like the old model, the roof slopes down to the rear to give the GLC Coupe a sportier look with the help of a ducktail spoiler. Like the first-generation GLC Coupe, you can expect a slightly different taillight design than the regular GLC SUV.
We haven’t seen the inside of the new GLC Coupe yet, but it should look similar to the regular GLC, albeit with slightly less headroom. Switch to the new MRA2 platform seen on the latest platform C-ClassThe GLC Coupe should be slightly larger than its predecessor, which should result in more cabin and trunk space – although it will be a significant reduction compared to the GLC’s 600 liters of trunk space.
We can also see a central 11.9-inch portrait touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel for the driver, which can be assisted by an optional head-up display.
The recently announced second-generation GLC will use electrification for all of its powertrains, from a 48-volt mild hybrid to three different plug-in hybrids with an all-electric range. electricity up to 62 km. One fully electric Variations don’t appear, however, with a similarly sized EQC taking up that space. It is almost certain that the GLC Coupe will be offered with the same range of powertrains as the GLC.
A GLC Coupe 200 4Matic will likely kick off the range with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 48-volt assist, developing 201 hp and 320 Nm of torque. There should also be a similar engine option with 254 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Besides, there is a 220 d 4MATIC light hybrid diesel engine with a capacity of 194 hp and 440 Nm of torque.
The Dip into the mixture Technology featured in the new GLC will be carried over to Coupe models. Mercedes has two petrol-powered plug-in hybrids and one diesel option. All use 31kWh batteries combined with an electric motor with a capacity of 134hp and 440Nm of torque. An all-electric range of more than 62 miles is required.
The 2.0-litre petrol plug-in hybrid can be produced with 309hp and 550Nm of torque as well as a 376hp and 650hp model. A plug-in hybrid engine will produce about 242 hp and 750 Nm of torque.
Since the GLC will share the platform with the new C-Class, we expect C 63’s powertrain found in the AMG GLC Coupe. This could mean up to 671bhp from the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder powered by an electric motor. The ability to combine plug-ins should also be available.
We expect the GLC Coupe to be revealed in full in the coming months, with a slightly higher price tag than the regular GLC.
