Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the all-new 2024 GLC Coupe, which comes with a more elegant and sleek design, packs new tech, and features new hybrid engine options.
New, improved exterior and interior design
It now boasts of a more refined exterior design where it now looks more up-to-date with the newest Mercedes models.
This new GLC Coupe generation is longer than its predecessor by 1.2 inches (31 mm) and its aerodynamic efficiency has been improved to 0.27 Cd.
New LED taillights debut with a slimmer design, and are connected by black trim, while also sporting a new ducktail spoiler and many design bits that weren’t found in the previous model.
Inside the cabin, we are greeted with the 11.9-inch touchscreen display on the center console used in many other new Mercedes models, with the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system.
Also, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is fitted into the new GLC.
A 15-speaker Burmester 3D Surround system, and the color head-up display come standard in the new GLC Coupe.
Engine and Power
The US only receives one model, the GLC 300 4Matic Coupe, which features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit matted with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that produces 255 hp (258 PS), and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque,
For Europe, the line-up is broader. Starting with the mild-hybrid models, Mercedes offers two petrol models, the GLC 200, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter unit with 201 hp (204 PS), and the GLC 300, the same model offered in the US.
Then, there are two diesel models, the GLC 200d, with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine that produces 194 hp (197 PS), and the GLC 300d, which features a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine with 265 hp (269 PS) in the GLC 300d.
All the above models are matted with a 48-volt mid-hybrid system.
Also for Europe Mercedes offers three PHEV models, the GLC 300e which produces a combined 308 hp (313 PS), the 400e with 375 hp (381 PS), and the 300de which uses a diesel engine to produce 328 hp (335 PS).
Each PHEV model combines their engine with an electric motor that produces 134 hp (136 PS), and a 31.2 kWh battery.
All-electric WLTP Range for the PHEV models is rated between 133-131 km (70-81 miles) depending on the model.
All models come available with Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.
2024 Mercedes GLC Coupe Pricing and Availability
Mercedes still has to announce the pricing for the new GLC Coupe, but based on the other models, we can guess that we will see a substantial price hike in this model as well.
However, we know that in western European markets, the GLC Coupe will arrive in July 2023, while in the US we don’t know yet.
