The all new Mercedes-AMG GLC: Performance SUV in two high-performance versions

Key Features:

  • AMG-Characteristic design features for the exterior and interior
  • AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with electric exhaust gas turbocharger
  • Additionally available with AMG-specific performance hybrid technology
  • AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension and rear-axle steering as standard
  • Extensive scope of equipment and new design packages.

The new Mercedes-AMG GLC replaces its highly successful predecessor with a host of innovations. The performance SUV is available in two performance levels and trim levels: as the entry-level model GLC 43 4MATIC and as the first performance hybrid SUV GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE.

In the GLC 43 4MATIC, the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with electric exhaust gas turbocharger produces 310kW and has an additional boost of 10 kW via the belt-driven starter-generator in the lower speed range. The standard rear-axle steering, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch and the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with Adaptive Damping System also contributing to the dynamic driving experience.

The hybrid powertrain exclusive to Mercedes-AMG in the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE is a technical masterpiece. It combines the AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine with an Electric drive unit on the rear axle for an exhilarating driving experience with high efficiency. The independent hybrid layout also ensures a balanced weight distribution - benefitting driving dynamics and handling in equal measure. The immediate response of the electric drive on the rear axle, the fast torque build-up and the rapid power delivery are very special features.

Another highlight is the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive for even more driving pleasure. Added to this is the standard active rear-axle steering, which combines agility and stability!

In the interior, AMG seats in ARTICO man-made leather/MICROCUT AMG microfibre with distinctive graphics and upholstery add a sporty touch. Optional leather and nappa leather upholstery with embossed AMG crest in the front head restraints is available. The AMG Performance seats are also available as an option.

The MBUX infotainment system includes various AMG-specific displays and functions. These include special displays in the instrument cluster, on the portrait-orientation multimedia central display in the centre console and on the optional head-up display. The AMG-exclusive "Supersport" style offers the option of displaying various contents via a vertical structure. This includes a set-up menu that displays the current settings of the suspension or transmission. In addition, the driver can have a navigation map or consumption data displayed in "Supersport" style.
