Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe

Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is targeted at those who want a five-seater SUV with a bit of panache. The coupe-like sloping roofline was always a highlight of the GLC Coupe, now Mercedes has given it a nip and tuck to keep it looking fresh. A rival to the BMW X4 and the Porsche Macan, the Merc positions itself neatly between the two in terms of price. The GLC Coupe is available with BS6-compliant petrol and diesel engines, in a single trim and only with automatic transmission.

 Exterior

The overall dimensions and silhouette of the GLC Coupe have not changed with the mid-life facelift; the bulky proportions and the contrast coupe-like roof remain. Changes include a fresh looking fascia thanks to all-LED headlights and a sportier looking front bumper, new alloy wheel designs, redesigned taillight elements and a completely new rear bumper design with new integrated angular exhaust tips.

 Interior

In terms of design, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe remains the same as the pre-facelift model. It will look and feel familiar to those who have already sat in a modern Merc, with the touch-sensitive control-equipped chunky three-spoke steering wheel, five large circular air-vents on the dashboard, flush-fitting buttons on the centre console and an abundance of metal, leather and other premium materials around the cabin. New features have been added, including a new 10.25-inch floating touchscreen on the dashboard with the company’s new MBUX intelligent assist function, 360-degree parking camera system, 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster and ‘ME Connect’ app-based telematics support.

 Engine & Transmission

There are two engines on offer with the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe facelift, the 300 4Matic is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine while the 300d 4Matic is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. Both engines are BS6-compliant, are paired with an eight-speed torque converter transmission and can send power to all four wheels via the ‘4Matic’ intelligent AWD system.
