We have a spy photo double feature as photographers managed to snap two different versions of the redesigned Mercedes GLC Coupe. The black prototype is the GLC 63 Coupe, and it’s distinguished by a Panamericana grille and lightweight wheels that are backed up by a high-performance braking system with bronze calipers. We can also see a large rear spoiler and a squared off four-tailpipe exhaust system, which indicates this is the range-topping variant.
The regular model is far less aggressive
as it adopts a single bar grille with a tri-star mesh insert. The crossover has
also been equipped with side steps, aerodynamically optimized wheels, and a
modest spoiler. Spy photographers snagged an interior picture of the mainstream
variant and the cabin unsurprisingly carries over from the more practical GLC.
As a result, it has a freestanding 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an
11.9-inch infotainment system with a portrait orientation. They’re joined by
circular air vents, wood trim, and a plethora of metallic accents.
Engine options will be shared with the
standard GLC, which offers turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinders with outputs
of 201 hp and 254 hp. The crossover also
offers a 194 hp diesel as well as plug-in hybrids developing
309 hp, 330 hp, and 376 hp.
The GLC 63, on the other hand, is slated
to feature the same plug-in hybrid powertrain as the C63 E Performance. This
means we can expect a 470 hp turbocharged 2.0-liter
four-cylinder engine and a 201 hp electric motor. This setup
is slated to give the car a combined output of 671 hp and 750 Nm of torque.
