Mercedes-Benz Caribbean: The new GLC Coupé

The new GLC Coupé

The new GLC Coupé: The lifestyle model in the successful Mercedes-Benz SUV family

Exterior design: The overall visual statement is defined by the sporty coupé silhouette. At first sight, it imparts a sense of elegance, dynamism and offroad adventure. Other characteristic elements include the simulated chrome underguard, the roof rails painted in black and the optional running boards. New contoured side edges make a model-specific statement. The headlights gently connect to the radiator grille, lending emphasis to the vehicle’s sporty, muscular look. In combination with the optional DIGITAL LIGHT, they feature daytime-driving ellipses. Another visual highlight is the radiator grille with the Mercedes-Benz pattern (standard).

Interior design: The GLC Coupé’s interior combines sportiness with contemporary styling, with the dashboard horizontally divided into two sections, generous trim surfaces, and a portrait-format central display that appears to float above them. The avant-garde seat design and door panels emphasise the high quality of the interior.

Noise comfort: The new GLC Coupé is a pleasantly quiet vehicle with a serene sound signature and low rolling and wind noise. In that regard, it exceeds even the high standard of its predecessor. Taken together, the acoustic measures are a big factor behind the “welcome home” atmosphere synonymous with Mercedes-Benz.

A strong performer both on and off the road: The GLC Coupé has significantly improved on- and off-road attributes for adverse weather conditions and stretches with unmetalled roads. These include simplified operation using the off-road screen, clearer information thanks to the “transparent bonnet” in conjunction with the optional 360° camera, and outstanding traction and handling safety by virtue of improved control systems. With the plug-in hybrids, fully electric off-road driving is possible.

Drive systems: Like the SUV, the new GLC Coupé is systematically designed for electrification. The engine programme includes four-cylinder petrol and diesel units, always combined with an electric motor. Four of these are mild-hybrid units with an integrated second-generation starter-generator (ISG). Three further engine variants are plug-in hybrid units. All the plug-in hybrids have an electric range of more than 100 kilometres (WLTP).
