When Mercedes-Benz introduced the GLC Coupe in 2016, and entered the market of the premium SUV-coupe segment, directly competing against the BMW X4.
When more and more carmakers started to build SUVs, it became even more challenging for customers to choose the right car. Yet, Mercedes-Benz considered that the premium customers didn't get what they wanted and offered the GLC Coupe based on the same platform as the C-Class. Unsurprisingly, it was more of a mall-roader than an off-roader.
Its sportier look was dominated by the grille at the front, with one horizontal slat for the base trim levels or a 3D pattern, diamond-look design for the AMG package. The bumper sported a trapezoidal grille in the middle flanked by a pair of scoops on the sides. From its profile, the sloped-down roof caught the eye. It mimicked the shape of a four-door coupe. Its tailgate featured a small duck-tail behind the rear window.
Inside, the front part of the cabin was identical to the regular five-door GLC. In the back, it was a different story. The sloped roofline affected the headroom, so the six-footers (over 1.80 m high) passengers were not that happy. Mercedes-Benz installed the third window behind the rear bench, but that didn't enhance the interior light.
Under the hood, the carmaker installed a choice of six engines, either gasoline-powered, turbo-diesel, or hybrid. Apart from the latter, the other versions sent their torque in all corners via a nine-speed automatic transmission.
