A redesigned GLC touched down for the 2023 model year, and Mercedes-Benz has been busy filling out the model line ever since, with the fastback GLC Coupe and AMG high-performance models. Things are getting really wild in the GLC house for 2025, with the new plug-in hybrid GLC350e and the AMG GLC63 S E Performance. All 2025 GLCs also benefit from more standard equipment, including a third-generation infotainment interface, digital key capability that allows owners to use their phone as a vehicle key, and a center airbag between front-seat occupants. For 2025, the Mercedes GLC starts at $50,400 for the SUV and $60,450 for the Coupe (all prices include the $1,150 destination charge).
GLC SUV buyers get the standard panoramic moonroof in the AMG 43, which in both body styles also includes an adaptive sport suspension with rear-wheel steering and 20-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, synthetic-suede seat trim and a heated steering wheel.
The GLC’s standard safety suite is mostly consistent regardless of what powertrain buyers choose. It includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitors, automated parking and a driver attention monitor. Coupe and AMG models also include a 360-degree camera system.
The Driver Assistance Package is available for all GLCs and adds adaptive cruise control, blind spot intervention, front cross-traffic alert, lane-centering steering, lane change assist and emergency steering assist.
In the AMG GLC43, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder gains an additional electrically driven turbocharger, cranking output to 416 hp and 369 pounds-feet. Whereas the non-AMG GLCs all need about 6 seconds to accelerate from 0-60, the AMG 43 can get there in just 4.7 seconds. In SUV form, it gets 19/25/21 mpg; the coupe is rated at 18/24/21 mpg.
