Overview
The Mercedes-Benz GLC is the German luxury carmaker's small SUV and best-selling vehicle. The GLC Coupe version features a sloping coupe-inspired rear roofline that gives it a sleeker silhouette in exchange for slightly reduced rear seat headroom and cargo capacity. After a full redesign last year, the GLC Coupe heads into 2025 with a new high-performance AMG GLC 63 S E Performance version with an eye-opening 671 horsepower.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe AMG GLC 43 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.79 per gallon for premium unleaded in Florida.
Edmunds spotlight: The AMG GLC 63 is a very different plug-in hybrid
Yep, the AMG GLC 63 is back. But unlike previous years, it doesn't have a burly V8 under the hood. Instead, it combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with the latest in plug-in hybrid technology. Altogether, this powertrain makes more power than the previous V8 and should be more efficient too. Don't expect the kind of fuel savings you'll get with a typical plug-in hybrid, however. This system is built with power in mind and will only return around 6 or 8 miles of EV-only range.
Competitors to consider
The BMW X4 is a top alternative to the GLC Coupe. It's based on the X3 and has a sleek couple-like roofline. The X4 M version is BMW's counterpoint to the new AMG GLC 63 S E Performance. We also recommend the Porsche Macan, which is the sportiest of this trio.
Which GLC-Class Coupe does Edmunds recommend?
The entry-level GLC 300 4Matic should satisfy the majority of drivers who want a blend of luxury, comfort and style. The extra power from the AMG GLC 43 is welcome but ultimately hard to justify considering how much more it costs. No matter which GLC Coupe you get, make sure to add the Driver Assistance package to take full advantage of Mercedes' driver assist technologies.
