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 Drive^{Cost 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 Virginia.}

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.

2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe First Impressions

byNick Yekikian

•9/29/2023

What is the GLC Coupe?

The GLC Coupe is essentially a more stylish but less practical clone of the GLC SUV. However, the GLC Coupe isn't really a coupe — for that it would have to have just two doors. Instead, Mercedes has taken the meaning of the French word "coupé," which means "to cut," quite literally. The brand chops a bit of bodywork out of the rear (it also does this with the GLE) and sells the result as an alternative to the boxier, more usefully shaped GLC.

While 2024 saw the introduction of the redesigned GLC 300 and sportier AMG GLC 43, 2025 will add the big one: the AMG GLC 63 S E Performance. The name might be a mouthful, but it comes with a ton of added go-faster kit that earns it the higher numerical designation. The GLC 63 adds more power along with a far more aggressive look up front and at the rear. Throw in sticky tires, bigger brakes to haul you down, and trick handling tech like a limited-slip differential, and the 63 clearly has the chops to be top of the GLC food chain.

In case you're wondering where "63" even comes from, it used to refer to the displacement of the V8 engines found in the AMGs of old (6.3 liters). As time has gone on, downsizing has taken hold, and now some of AMG's 63 performance models have 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines augmented by a battery and electric motor combo.

What's under the GLC 63's hood?

That's exactly what's happened to the latest GLC 63 AMG. Gone is the raucous 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that was used in the previous generation and in its place resides that compact four-cylinder bolstered by an electric motor on the rear axle. Combined, they make a staggering 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to all four wheels, and the GLC 63 can vary output from a 50%-50% split front and rear to 100% at the rear. Mercedes says the super crossover can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 171 mph.

How's the GLC 63's interior?

The interior is much the same as the other GLC Coupe models, with two screens (one in front of the driver and the other rising up along the center console) dominating the front cabin design. The AMG can be had with synthetic suede inlays in the door, on the dash, and on the sport steering wheel (which now has dials for the drive mode selector that even feature small embedded screens). AMGs also get the option for Mercedes' firm but extremely supportive full bucket front seats. They are thickly bolstered on the sides and in the thigh area, but they feature a bolt upright backrest to help the driver remain fully supported.

How's the GLC 63's tech?

A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster sits in front of the driver and a 11.9-inch center touchscreen that houses Mercedes' clever MBUX infotainment system are both carried over from the standard SUV. The vertically oriented touchscreen is a welcome improvement over the outgoing model, as is the addition of wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The infotainment itself displays everything in large icons, as though major functions were "apps." The icons are large and easy to tap even while you're on the move.

The MBUX user interface can be a bit tedious at times, with its dense menu structure and many features to sort through, but this new iteration is easier to navigate than the previous-generation GLC. Oft-used functions are generally just a few taps away, and a persistent home button and row of HVAC controls mean you're never going to lose those key functions. Plus, the system is quick to react to inputs and Mercedes has one of the best voice-activated assistants in the business.

Edmunds says

The AMG 63 S E Performance adds a spice to the GLC lineup, but we can already tell we're going to miss the big V8 from the old car.
