The GLC Coupé has all the modernity and sportiness associated with this body style and even gives off an offroad adventure feel, too. Updates to the vehicle's driving dynamics and convenience features have been performed to make the latest GLC Coupé exude more emotion. Here are the top 3 things you need to know:
1. Performance with efficiency
All models in the GLC Coupé range are fitted with electric drive technology, which means you receive a 48-volt mild hybrid system with an integrated starter generator for extra boost, energy recuperation and lightning-quick performance. This is particularly the case with the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. On and off the road, the GLC Coupé handles the terrains thrown at it with prowess.
2. New MBUX Experience
The latest GLC Coupé uses an upgraded version of the MBUX infotainment system. The hardware and software have been worked upon to deliver a more user-friendly experience. Improved image quality for both the infotainment screen and instrument cluster for better images and clear and legible text. Optionally, there's MBUX Augmented Reality for navigation, where a front camera registers the car's surroundings, showing moving images, superimposing virtual objects, information and markers like traffic signs, directional arrows, lane change recommendations and even house numbers. In addition to this, there's Hey Mercedes, a voice assistant.
3. Ramped up styling
Refinements to the styling have been made on the exterior, making the GLC Coupé more muscular. Tactfully placed chrome and black trims for better contrast with the body colour. Take a long, hard look at the GLC Coupé, and it's very easy on the eyes. In the cabin, the dashboard is divided horizontally, with the infotainment screen being vertically intersected. The sear design and door panels consist of high-quality materials and considered design. It's a beauty inside and out.
