Mercedes Benz previously announced the release of its all-new AMG GLC Coupe, anticipating that both models would be available in the US by late 2024. Current estimates still project that the base model will arrive by 2024; however, the long-awaited plug-in hybrid AMG GLC 63 is now slated for 2025. We have updated information regarding the exterior and interior features of the vehicles as well. Let’s take a look.
New AMG GLC Coupe Models
First, a recap. The 2025 AMG GLC coupe will be available in two models:
- The GLC 63 E PERFORMANCE, which is the brand’s first hybrid SUV coupe. An electrified hand-built M139I AMG 2.0 L four-cylinder engine obtains an impressive 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque. Zoom from 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds.
- The GLC 43 Coupe is nothing to thumb your nose at, with the same hand-crafted motor, 416 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Despite the “downgrade” to a 4 cylinder engine* from 6, this is a 31 hp boost from the previous model.
Both vehicles have integrated groundbreaking technology in the form of the world’s first electric exhaust gas turbocharger. This is adapted from F1 tech and greatly improves the car’s efficiency and improves handling by allowing for spontaneous response across the entire speed range.
*Prior sources believed the new AMG GLC Coupes would have 6 and 8 cylinder options. Mercedes Benz’s own press release confirms that both trims will utilize a 4 cylinder engine.
Exterior of the New Mercedes AMG GLC Coupe
The exterior of the all new AMG GLC coupes is in keeping with the classic sporty styling of its predecessors. The front is adorned with an AMG-specific grille, which gives the vehicle added width and muscle. Large air inlets and added flics are nice touches, as are the vertical fins on the back bumper.
Both models gain cohesion via a connecting element between the taillights and geometric tailpipe trims (round on the GLC 43, trapezoidal on the 63). The wheel arches are painted to match the body color, adding new contrast to the bold AMG wheels (available in 19, 20, and 21”).
Interior Features of the New AMG GLC Coupe
Inside, tech and luxury abound. AMG floor mats, sports pedals, and illuminated door sills remind you that this is meant to be a race car. The vehicles come standard with all the technology you’ve come to expect in a luxury vehicle, including the MBUX artificial learning system, navigation, and digital instrument cluster.
The big stand out for the new AMG GLC trims, however, is the Supersport option. This feature showcases driver-centric content to be displayed vertically. You can view consumption stats, navigation, and current suspension and transmission settings in a convenient format.
When Will the New AMG GLC Hybrid Be Available?
The Mercedes AMG GLC 63 plug-in hybrid model is set to be released in the US in 2025, while the AMG GLC 43 should arrive in 2024. MSRPs have not been announced, but you can expect the 63 to start around $88,000, and the 43 to start at around $72,000.
