Product Overview

Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe C253 is a compact crossover in production from 2016 to 2019, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4, V6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.0 liters.
The successor to the GLK and the hunchback variant of the X253 GLC, the GLC Coupe is markedly uglier and impractical as a vehicle, even though it takes up more space and is much less efficient than a C-Class sedan or wagon. Unfortunately, many clueless consumers were essentially misled by the "coupe" name, even though this is a perfect example of "neither here nor there".
