Mercedes-Benz has revealed the Concept GLC Coupe. The car looks near-production ready and carries the successful GLE Coupé formula over into a more compact segment. The dynamically expressive car that was on display, combined typical stylistic features of a coupé with the sensually pure design idiom of coming SUV generations. This emotively appealing fusion is further enriched with details that are strong in character. A twin-blade radiator grille, powerdomes on the bonnet and a four-pipe exhaust system form an aesthetic contrast to the harmonious, almost organic main body section. On the other hand, elements from the rugged off-road world, such as enormous 21-inch tyres, front and rear underbody protection, increased ground clearance and side running boards, are indicative of the off-road performance potential of the Concept GLC Coupe.
The drive technology aboard the Concept GLC Coupe matches the vehicle’s looks. A V6 powerplant delivering 367bhp and 520Nm of torque makes for a highly sporty level of performance. Familiar from AMG sports models, the direct-injection biturbo engine is teamed with a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive to provide the show car with emphatic acceleration while at the same time giving an acoustically audible note to the impressive performance.
