The stylish and luxurious SUV coupe hits dealers later this year.
Mercedes-Benz has always been a harbinger of luxury and performance in the automotive world. However, the GLC Coupe brings a unique style to its staple SUV, and the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC Coupe brings new tech and features to the mix. Priced starting at $57,000, this beauty is ready to make its grand entrance in U.S. dealerships come late fall 2023.
Now, let’s talk about what’s under the hood. The new Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is a mild hybrid, replete with 48-volt technology and an integrated starter-generator. This innovative approach not only provides an energy recuperation system but also offers extra oomph you would expect from a performance vehicle. Paired with a standard sport suspension, the GLC 300 4MATIC Coupe promises agility and comfort whether you’re on a city street or venturing into off-road terrain.
But Mercedes-Benz didn’t stop there. They’ve included an array of standard features that makes driving this car a dream. Whether you’re faced with snow, rain, or winding mountain roads, the standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive coupled with an Electronic Stability Program ensures that you remain in control. And for the adventure seekers, there’s an intuitive off-road screen and the “transparent hood,” a component of the standard Surround View 360-degree camera that elevates your off-road escapades.
Inside the cabin, you’re greeted by state-of-the-art tech and creature comforts. You’ve got larger driver and center infotainment displays, an upgraded MBUX infotainment system, Mercedes-Benz Navigation, wireless smartphone charging, and heated seats for both driver and passengers. Plus, the panoramic sunroof comes standard, offering a more open feel, and is 2.4 inches longer than its predecessor. The infotainment system now also includes full-screen navigation as standard, making your city driving or cross-country expeditions easier to navigate.
Moving on to aesthetics, the GLC Coupe’s sporty silhouette is nothing short of eye-catching. With the Mercedes-Benz star pattern now a standard feature on the radiator grille cover, it adds a touch of elegance to the sporty profile. The exterior design is further accentuated by muscular wheel arches and precisely shaped edges that highlight the vehicle’s proportions. And let’s not forget storage. The new model offers 19.2 cubic feet of trunk space behind the second-row seats and 52.6 cubic feet when they’re folded down, providing ample space for all your road trip essentials.
For those wanting to push the envelope on aesthetics, the optional AMG Line comes with AMG-specific wheels, body styling, and other unique features. Interestingly, initial market deliveries will be exclusively equipped with the AMG Line, bumping the starting price to $59,850. As if the exterior wasn’t captivating enough, the interior carries a dynamic flair. A 12.3-inch high-resolution driver display and an 11.9-inch central portrait display both appear to float, adding an avant-garde touch to the interior layout. The optional AMG Line goes the extra mile with a flat-bottom multifunction sport steering wheel, sport seats, and AMG line floor mats. To sum it up, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC Coupe is a perfect blend of performance, luxury, and sustainable driving.
