Product Overview
Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe C253 facelift is a compact hunchback crossover in production from 2019 to 2022. It was available with a range of inline-4, V6, and V8 engines that displaced 1.9 to 4.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelifted C253 GLC Coupe received few changes. Notably, Mercedes discontinued RWD models and introduced PHEV nonsenses. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain can help the owner save on fuel and car tax, though those who plan on keeping the car after warranty should be mindful of the complexity. Its official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewer score 61%Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 has been given a facelift including a new bespoke AMG grille and lights. It's also been given more power, with fettling to the 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo lifting output to 385bhp from 362bhp previously. Alongside that, AMG’s engineers have done a spot of fiddling with the rear-biased all-wheel-drive system and the chassis dynamics, with aim to boost agility.

Pros
- Powerful V6 engine
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Lacklustre ride quality

Reviewer score 63%Twin-turbo V8 is a force of nature, with Mercedes claiming a 3.8sec 0-62mph sprint. It’s the instant, relentless muscle that hooks you, the car firing you out of each corner on an effortless wave of elastic torque. It's therefore a bit of a shame the nine-speed auto isn’t as good. New MBUX infotainment system has been well integrated, as has the 12.3in instrument cluster.

Pros
- Powerful twin-turbo V8
- Impressive infotainment system
Cons
- Not as good as rivals
- No nine-speed auto

Reviewer score 53%Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coupé 4Matic has been given a mid-life facelift. It features an on-trend mild hybrid powertrain with a 14bhp belt-driven starter-generator to aid the 255bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine. The GLC has gained the latest version of Mercedes’ MBUX infotainment system and a number of new driver assistance features.

Pros
- Well-equipped interior
- Comfortable to drive
- Good infotainment system
Cons
- Mild-hybrid powertrain isn’t particularly responsive
- Not particularly economical

Reviewer score 80%The GLC 63 features a 4.0-litre engine that nestles a pair of turbos between the banks of its eight cylinders. As before, it's available in two flavours: the standard version with 469bhp and 650Nm of torque, and the S model driven here with 503bhp. Performance is staggering: on the road it feels every bit as fast as the claimed numbers suggest, and there's no letting up as the relentless shove pushes well into three figures.

Pros
- Gorgeous looks
- Powerful engines
- Impressive infotainment system
Cons
- Lacklustre on-road performance

Reviewer score 42%Mercedes has added some welcome new technology to the GLC's cabin, bringing things up to date alongside key rivals such as the BMW X4. The Merc remains a comfortable SUV with a well made, high-quality interior, too. At more than £50,000 in Premium trim, it's a lot of money for a four-cylinder SUV of this size.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Not the most practical
- Not the best value

Reviewer score 55%The GLC Coupe uses the same MBUX infotainment and navigation system as the GLC. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren't included on the £40,000-odd AMG Line entry model. The optional 590W Burmester stereo offers crystal clear and powerful sound. Legroom is pretty good thanks to the 2.87m wheelbase, but six-footers will find their heads brushing the roof and there's really only space for two in comfort.

Pros
- Fantastic standard equipment
- Decent fuel economy
Cons
- Fiddly infotainment system
- No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto

Reviewer score 73%The AMG GLC43 Coupe has a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that is both smooth and potent. The engine delivers a healthy 385 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. Despite having a price tag north of $70,000, it still lacks a range of useful advanced safety features.

Pros
