In June this year, just days after the official launch of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC, our friends and colleagues at Kolesa.ru did an early render showing a potential look for the coupe version of this model. Now, after a number of GLC Coupe prototypes were tested on public roads, the publication’s renders feature an updated version of their digital drawing showing the vehicle with what we believe is a design very close to the actual production design. .
When we last saw the GLC Coupe, our photographers caught an AMG-branded test vehicle testing around the Nurburgring. This render does not represent the high-end version but instead shows a more regular variant. This is best seen at the front, where the grille lacks the aggressive AMG pattern and the large air vents in the bumper. At the rear, this visualization features a design with no cost-effective LED strips connecting the taillights as seen in the previous render.
With the new GLC released, it’s not really hard to predict what the Coupe version will feature in terms of hardware. Since its launch, the 2022 GLC has only been available with four-cylinder engines and the US market has the GLC 300 and GLC 300 4Matic variants for sale. Both feature a 2.0-liter mill, producing 258 horsepower (192 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque. An integrated starter-generator system provides an additional 23 hp (17 kW) and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) of torque boost. Whether you opt for the FWD or AWD version, you always get a nine-speed automatic transmission as standard.
Even the top-of-the-line AMG GLC 63 models – both standard in coupe form – will come with a 2.0-litre engine. We believe the powertrain will be shared with the new C63, meaning a four-cylinder unit with an electrically assisted turbo and rear-mounted electric motor will generate a maximum output of 671 hp (500 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque. Unlike the new C-Class, both the GLC and GLC Coupe will get a six-cylinder engine – a new diesel engine for the 400d model, although it’s not available in the US.
We expected the new GLC Coupe to arrive before the end of the year, but so far there have been no signs of an imminent debut. Still, we think the full, official debut of the Stuttgart coupe-SUV isn’t far off.
