First to the point. Underneath these stylish bodies, you'll find the same equipment as the standard AMG GLC SUVs that were introduced in July. But you get a body that is timeless "coupe". For GLC63 S Coupe E Performance means an overpowered turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that alone produces 469 horsepower, additional 201 hp but his contributes electric motor. Together, you get top quality 671 hp and 752 pound-feet of torque. However, it should be noted that maximum power is only available for 10 seconds. For those looking for a slightly more subdued version, there is the GLC 43 4MATIC Coupé with 421 hp (416 hp). And acceleration?!

Who would have thought that cutting off part of an SUV's roof to give it a sporty coupe silhouette doesn't make the car a hair faster? Mercedes-AMG says: 'Of course not!' The GLC43 reaches 100 km/h (60 mph) in 4.7 seconds, which is about as fast as it takes me to find my TV remote. And although GLC63 S Coupe S E Performance reaches 100 km/h (60 mph) in 3.4 seconds, the extra weight of the hybrid battery doesn't seem to help acceleration. Well, at least the speed limit is set to 275 km/h (171 mph), which is more than fast enough to catch every red light in town. And no matter which model you choose, the interior remains the same - it's like being in the most expensive living room that moves at the speed of light... or at least almost.

The interior of it Mercedes-AMG it's so luxurious that you could feel like a king, even if you're just on your way to the store to get milk. Leather seats covered with artificial leather ARTICO and MICROCUT AMG microfibers they are so comfortable that I could mistake them for the best sofa in my living room. And then there's more MBUX system. It's not just a regular infotainment system, it's like having a personal assistant in your car. 'Hey MBUX, where is the nearest coffee shop?' and voilà, the system shows you the way. Although, to be honest, most of the time you use it to find the nearest gas stations, because this hybrid weight really eats fuel! More! For those looking for extra elegance, genuine leather seats with embossed detailing are also available AMG crest. But that's not all. The standard AMG Performance steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather gives you full control over this gem of the automotive industry.
