What is the GLC Coupe?
The GLC Coupe is, essentially, a more stylish, more sporty 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 "coupe," which means "to cut," quite literally. The brand cuts a bit of bodywork out of the rear of a GLC (it also does this with the GLE) and sells the result as an alternative to the more usefully shaped GLC SUV. This is a trend that BMW arguably started when it first released the X6 in 2008, and one Mercedes, Audi and BMW itself have all run with. Notably, the Audi Q5 Sportback and BMW X4 are the closest competitors to the redesigned 2024 GLC Coupe.
