Mercedes stretched the GLC Coupe by 1.2 inches in comparison with the outgoing mannequin. It is also 0.2 inches taller than the final technology. Up entrance, the coupe seems to be fairly just like its normal GLC counterpart, however issues begin to get bizarre while you get round to the again. As a substitute of a flat roof that ends with a standard SUV butt, the GLC Coupe slopes down just like the two-dour “coupes” it will get its designation from. Feedback we acquired on the automotive in particular person appeared largely destructive, however social media response has been overwhelmingly optimistic.

Each GLC Coupe delivered within the US, a minimum of at first, can have the AMG Line bundle. This consists of painted wheel arches, 19-inch wheels (which will be switched out for the optionally available 20-inch wheels fitted to our tester), and distinctive physique styling. It seems to be largely high quality to our eye, however the related taillights which can be truly two separate models and clearly fake exhaust ideas within the bumper appear a bit of “low cost” to us. A full configurator was not obtainable as of this writing, however the Manufaktur Cardinal Crimson Metallic paint seems to be good in actual life, albeit dear at $1,750. The remainder of the colour palette is unmistakably Germanic with largely shades of white, black, gray, and two first rate blues.
