Mercedes-Benz has launched the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43
4MATIC Coupe in India. The GLC 43 4MATIC gets its sporty character from the
AMG body styling, AMG Diamond radiator grille, silver chrome finished front
splitter in the AMG front apron, black ORVM housing, contoured power domes on
the bonnet and silver-painted brake callipers with black “AMG” branding on the
front ones.
Moving inside, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe
features flat-bottomed AMG sports steering wheel in black nappa leather,
brushed stainless steel sports pedals with rubber studs, AMG floor mats with
“AMG” lettering and much more. The AMG instrument cluster has speedometer and
rev counter dials in a chequered-flag look. The speedometer in it has a 280
km/h top speed reading.
The variant also gets AMG Line seat upholstery
layout with upholstery in ARTICO leather/DINAMICA microfibre, as well as ARTICO
leather used in the upper section of the dashboard. Other equipment highlights
are the COMAND Online infotainment system with an 8.4-inch display, ambient
lighting, THERMATIC automatic climate control and 360-degree camera.
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe is powered by
an AMG-tuned 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine that produces 367 hp and 520
Nm of torque. Power is sent to the wheels via the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic
transmission. As the model name reads, the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive
system is present in the SUV. A 0-100 km/h sprint takes just 4.9 seconds. Using
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, the driver can choose from Individual, Comfort, Slippery,
Sport and Sport+ drive modes. One more feature worth noting is the AIR BODY
CONTROL based AMG sports suspension. The AMG GLC 43 4MATIC Coupe features a
three-chamber air suspension system with a sporty spring/damper set-up and
adaptive damping adjustment.
