The all-new Mercedes-AMG GLC models are here to revolutionize the world of performance SUVs. Available in two striking models – AMG GLC 43 and the first-ever AMG performance hybrid SUV, AMG GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE – these vehicles combine the raw power of AMG technology with excellent luxury.
The GLC 43’s heart is the powerful AMG M139l 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, an engine already celebrated for its high performance and small footprint. Producing an impressive 416 hp and an additional 13 hp boost at lower engine speeds, this SUV offers a unique combination of agility, efficiency, and performance. The hybrid GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE takes it a step further, delivering a combined system output of 671 hp and 752 lb-ft torque. This exceptional power is achieved by coupling the turbo engine with an Electric Drive Unit (EDU), showcasing the unique power of AMG-specific performance hybrid technology. Key to both models’ superb driving dynamics is the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, rear-axle steering, and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
