Check out the latest 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC
German carmaker Mercedes-Benz has launched
the AMG-powered GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe at Rs 74.8 lakh (ex-showroom,
India). It is the third variant in the GLC family and the second
coupe-styled SUV from the Stuttgart-based car manufacturer.
Underneath the pretty exterior, the
Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe features the same engine, transmission
and 4MATIC four-wheel drive setup as its big brother, the GLE 43 4MATIC
Coupe. A 3.0-litre, turbocharged V6 petrol engine, that pumps out 367PS
of power and 520Nm of torque, is mated to a 9-speed automatic
transmission and power is sent to all four wheels. The SUV can get to
100kmph from standstill in 4.9 seconds. All in all, it is faster and
more powerful than the 220 d 4MATIC and 300 4MATIC derivatives of the
GLC.
On the outside the SUV flaunts bi-colour
19-inch, 5-twin-spoke AMG alloy wheels, AMG body kit and diamond
radiator grille with chrome pins and ‘AMG’ lettering. Inside the cabin,
there’s the AMG boot logo in the infotainment display, front door sills
with AMG logo, red seat belts and bespoke AMG-branded floor mats.
It also comes with five different driving
modes, namely Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. The first
four are finely tuned by Mercedes-Benz itself but the Individual driving
mode can be set up to suit one’s driving style. By diving deep inside
the car’s settings, the driver can select what kind of response is
needed from the steering, engine, transmission and suspension.
Price-wise, it faces tough competition from the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Volvo XC90, Porsche Macan and the Jaguar F-Pace.
