2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E Performance

After Mercedes-Benz presented the GLC and GLC Coupe models, the most powerful AMG versions of these models, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 and GLC 63 S E Performance, are coming to the market.

Both models have a new radiator grille, larger air intakes, and more chrome parts on the front end. The back of the GLC 43 has two tailpipes, while the GLC 63 has a square shaped tailpipe. The interior has been significantly improved, with a standard MB-tex and microfiber cabin available, as well as optional Nappa leather with AMG logo on the headrests. There’s also the MBUX system from the base GLC model and the AMG Track Pace integrated into the infotainment system, providing data to the driver if he decides to unleash the SUV’s power on the track.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with an integrated starter generator, and 421 hp (310 kW). Enough to hit 62 mph in 4.8 seconds. At lower speeds, the generator starter provides an additional 14 hp (10 kW). The mild hybrid engine is mated to a nine-speed gearbox and has 4Matic all-wheel drive. Like other AMG models such as the E63, the Speedshift MCT wet-clutch transmission replaced the torque converter. This clutch ensures smoother operation at low speeds as well as better response at full power. In addition, the GLC 43 has rear-axle steering and standard air suspension with adaptive dampers as part of the AMG Ride Control system.

GLC 63 S E Performance is powered by a most powerful turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine (469 hp/345 kW and 400 lb-ft/543 Nm) combined with a rear-mounted electric motor (201 hp/148 kW) for a total power of 671 hp (493 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque.
