2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe AMG GLC 43

OK, we'll admit, we're suckers for power and the new AMG GLC 43 has it in spades. It uses a high-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that's in the standard car. While the standard engine is rated at 255 horsepower, the AMG version puts out a whopping 416 horsepower. In Edmunds' testing, the regular-bodied AMG GLC 43 was able to shave 1.4 seconds off the standard GLC's 0-60 time, and it's safe to assume the GLC Coupe version will have a similar performance gain.

Since BMW introduced the original coupe-like SUV with the X6 back in 2008, several luxury manufacturers have introduced their own take on the idea. If you're looking for alternatives to the GLC Coupe, there's the Audi Q5 Sportback, BMW X4, Infiniti QX55, Range Rover Evoque and, if you want an EV, the Tesla Model Y or Volvo C40 Recharge. Just note that these are generally more expensive than the more upright models they're based on and usually have less cargo and passenger space. But that's the price of fashion.
