The first "43" engine handcrafted in the AMG "One man, one engine" tradition applies technology from Formula 1® racing to advance performance with efficiency. A pioneering electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and Integrated Starter-Generator team with advanced fuel injection, friction reduction and multi-level engine cooling. The result is V8-worthy output of 416 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque from a compact, lightweight and decidedly modern 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.
The GLC 43's electric exhaust-gas turbocharger is derived from the race-winning technology of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1® team. A thin 48-volt electric motor, integrated directly on the shaft between the turbine and compressor wheels, can accelerate the compressor before the exhaust-gas flow takes over. The innovative 175,000-peak-rpm turbo helps maintain boost pressure and improve engine response from idle to high rpm, even when the driver lifts off the gas.
Electrifying the handcrafted AMG inline-4 gasoline engine is an innovative belt-driven Starter-Generator (RSG). It can generate a brief burst of 13 additional, gas-free horsepower, for even more enthusiastic yet efficient response. It also teams with the car's 48-volt electrical architecture to support gliding, recuperation and stop/start functions to seamlessly enhance efficiency.
A 9-speed multiclutch transmission is effective, efficient and enjoyable. AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT technology shortens shift times and offers quick multi-gear downshifts. A wet startup clutch eliminates the torque converter, to improve performance and help save weight. The Manual shift mode, and the Sport and Sport+ modes of AMG DYNAMIC SELECT can quicken upshifts and rev-match downshifts, while the Individual mode offer a Glide feature to help save fuel when coasting.
AMG styling packages progressively embolden the AMG GLC exterior with an array of gloss black, aero and carbon fiber elements. Each model offers a variety of options, some available in combination.
AMG® wheels unite aesthetics, athletics and aerodynamics. Choose from 20-inch or 21-inch sizes, available in four styles, plus two forged options for the GLC 63. They're all staggered in width, and designed for efficient airflow and effective brake cooling.
The vertical-bar AMG grille and deep front air dam feed air to the running gear, and lead the eye to the athletic, aerodynamic details that define an AMG. Sleek LED headlamps are available with advanced DIGITAL LIGHT technology.
The AMG GLC cockpit bonds driver and vehicle, performance and luxury, and form with function. Innovative, updatable tech can keep the future at hand, while the joy of driving it just never gets old.
A leap forward in audio quality, FrontBass takes advantage of the GLC bodyshell by utilizing the rigid front frame members as resonance chambers for an under-dash subwoofer. In addition to providing rich, precise bass throughout the interior, the design saves weight and frees up space in the cabin and doors.
The rear seatbacks fold down in a 40/20/40 split, offering a variety of cargo and passenger configurations. You can also fold the center section independently, to fit longer items like skis between two rear passengers. Electric releases let you fold the seatbacks down with the touch of a button, while a 10° steeper seatback setting can let you accommodate larger cargo while still seating rear passengers.
The large, portrait-oriented 11.9-inch central touchscreen offers more easily visible readouts, available navigation maps, and illustrated and animated menus. An advanced menu concept lets you display multiple functions at once, and keeps frequently used features such as the climate control readily accessible. In addition, you can access the screen via the right Touch Control Button on the steering wheel.
All new Mercedes-Benz vehicles are protected by our New Vehicle Limited Warranty, covering defects in material or workmanship for 48-months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. For added protection, the Mercedes-Benz Extended Limited Warranty offers continued peace of mind with prolonged coverage tailored to your needs.
The advanced Surround View System uses cameras in all four directions to compose a single, live overhead view of your immediate surroundings. Displayed on the central in-dash screen during low-speed maneuvers, it can help you avoid obstacles as you negotiate tight spaces, whether you're moving forward or backing up.
Active Parking Assist can search for suitable parallel or perpendicular parking spaces to either side as you drive by. Choose a space to pull or back into, and it can expertly shift, steer and brake for you. When it's time to leave, it can also steer you back out. In any low-speed maneuver, PARKTRONIC sensors in the front and rear bumpers help detect nearby objects within their field of view. Audible signals and illuminated displays in the cabin help you navigate tight spaces with confidence.
When traveling above approximately 8 mph, radar technology can help sense when a vehicle enters the blind-spot area. Blind Spot Assist can then help alert the driver via an illuminated red icon in the appropriate side mirror. An audible warning sounds if the driver activates a turn signal while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. After parking, Exit Warning Assist can alert the driver or passengers to vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians that could be at risk if the door is opened.
An advanced system of 7 air bags offers 9-way occupant protection. Standard are dual two-stage front air bags and combined thorax/pelvic bags for the driver and front passenger, plus a knee air bag for the driver, and side curtain air bags for both seating rows.
