Mercedes-AMG presents the new 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC Coupe. It completes the successful midsize series from the performance and sports car brand and sets another highlight in the model portfolio with its combination of dynamic elegance and characteristic AMG features.

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC Coupe. model family comprises two powerful models. The GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE Coupe is the brand’s first performance hybrid SUV coupe, featuring a 671 hp system output. The GLC 43 Coupe features 416 hp and a brief boost of 13 hp via the belt-driven starter generator at lower engine speeds. The extensive standard equipment with rear-axle steering, all-wheel drive, AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch and AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with adaptive damping supports the dynamic driving experience.

The sporty silhouette with a flowing transition to the rear is the main feature of the new Mercedes-AMG GLC Coupe. The headlights connect to the top of the AMG-specific radiator grille and emphasize the width of the vehicle. The AMG front fascia with large air inlets, vertical fins and additional flics sets striking, independent accents. Precise side edges emphasize the sporty proportions and the powerful wheel arches.

Wheel arch trim painted in body color and the AMG side sill panels are harmoniously integrated into the exterior design. The confident appearance is also emphasized by the vehicle’s wide track and flush-fitting wheels in 19-, 20- or 21-inch sizes.

The two-piece taillights visually widen the rear of the AMG GLC Coupe with a connecting element. The AMG-specific diffuser-look rear fascia (GLC 43) or additional diffuser board (GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE), as well as the two twin tailpipe trims (round on the GLC 43, trapezoidal on the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE) reinforce the powerful aesthetic.

AMG seats in MB-Tex/microfiber with unique graphics and upholstery provide a sporty touch. Optional leather and Nappa leather upholstery with an embossed AMG crest on the front headrests is available. The interior can also be fitted with optional AMG Performance seats.

An AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather (GLC 43) or Nappa leather/microfiber (GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE) is equipped standard. It is flattened at the bottom, perforated in the grip area (Nappa leather) and fitted with aluminum shift paddles. The two round AMG DRIVE UNIT buttons enable quick and precise operation of various dynamic driving functions and the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving programs. The sporty, luxurious atmosphere is rounded off by AMG sports pedals, floor mats and illuminated door sills.

The MBUX infotainment system features AMG-specific displays and functions. These include the independent displays in the instrument cluster, central multimedia central display and optional head-up display. The AMG-exclusive “Supersport” style offers the option of showcasing driver-focused content in a vertical format. This includes a set-up menu that displays the current suspension or transmission settings. The driver can also have a navigation map or consumption data displayed.

A 1.6-inch thin electric motor is integrated directly on the shaft of the turbocharger between the turbine wheel on the exhaust side and the compressor wheel on the intake side. This directly drives the shaft of the turbocharger and is electronically controlled, accelerating the compressor wheel before the exhaust gas flow takes over the drive in a conventional manner.

This significantly improves the response directly from idle speed and across the entire rpm range. The combustion engine responds more spontaneously to accelerator pedal input, while the overall driving feel is significantly more responsive. In addition, the electrification of the turbocharger enables higher torque at low rpms, which increases agility and optimizes acceleration from a standstill. Even when the driver lifts off the accelerator or brakes, the technology is able to maintain boost pressure at all times to ensure a continuously direct response.

Compared to the GLC 43, the turbocharger in the GLC 63 S is significantly larger. This delivers a higher air flow rate and therefore more power. In addition, the integrated electric motor is powered by the 400-volt high-voltage system.
