Mercedes Benz GLC-Class Coupe

Mercedes-Benz is known to make cars with opulent cabins, which are draped in highly luxurious elements and display top-notch fit and finish levels. The GLC Coupe is no different and looks rich with the use of fine materials to make it feel premium on the inside.

While the GLC Coupe misses out on the horizontally laid large TFT screen which is gradually becoming a norm in all the new generation Mercedes-Benz offerings, the cabin still feels swanky and futuristic with a full TFT instrument console and a free mounted large and wide rectangular touchscreen infotainment system at the centre.

The multifunctional steering wheel, as well as round AC vents on the dashboard, have nice looking silver finish on them. The waterfall-like centre console has been retained from the GLC SUV and here also, it comes with three round AC vents at the top and a slew of buttons below them.

The cabin feels spacious enough for four passengers at the most, as the rear seat space has been compromised a bit by a high raised transmission tunnel and a sharply sloping roofline. However, there is no lack of premium comfort and convenience features inside the cabin, the list of which consists of premium inclusions like thermotropic automatic climate control, Mercedes Me connect services, MBUX multimedia system and front powered and heated seats..

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe might not look too huge and intimidating, but it is the unique design which gives it a standout image when compared to other crossovers in the same space. The squatted look and wide stance do give it a macho image despite being not too big in size.

The front fascia of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe comes with a familiar-looking front grille, which has tapered edges with rounded edges to enhance its widened appeal even more. The headlamps which do come with full LED lighting elements look much similar to that of the GLC SUV.

The side profile of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe looks very dramatic and easily is the best angle from being looked at. The sloping and curvy roofline gives it an exotic appeal, while the high running window waistline with chrome garnish along with big wheels with large wheel arches give it the big car stance.

At the rear GLC Coupe has carried out a cleaner look with wide LED tail lamps with rounded edges and sharply sloping rear windscreen.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe gets the brand's top-spec sports suspension, which does complement well with the dynamic styling of the vehicle. With sharp feedback from steering as well as suspension, the GLC Coupe makes up for a brilliant car to drive. However, the stiffness of the suspension setup does make the ride quality slightly harsh at broken patches.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe shares both of its powertrain options with the regular GLC SUV – one petrol and one diesel. While the 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine produces 245 PS of power and 500 Nm. On the other hand, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol pumps out 258 PS of power and 370 Nm of torque. Both these engines are coupled to a common 9-speed automatic transmission as standard.

Being a premium vehicle, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is armed with world-class safety features like front, side and curtain airbags, attention assist, pre safe assist systems, blind spot assist with exit warning system, predictive brake priming, automatic brake drying, hill start assist, electronic stability control, traction control, ABS with EBD and more.

With an offbeat styling, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe adds a good amount of visual distinctiveness over the regular GLC SUV, while retaining the positive attributes of the latter. This makes it a more desirable package if one wants to stand out from the crowd.
