The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe has been revealed globally. The GLC Coupe flaunts a stunning stance, looks robust and adventure-ready from the outside and gets a premium-quality interior.
The new GLC Coupe is a powerful yet efficient vehicle and comes with electric drive technology. It is available as a plug-in hybrid with an electric range suitable for daily use or as a 48-volt mild-hybrid with an integrated starter generator for extra power and energy regeneration. It gets slightly larger dimensions than its predecessor.
Exterior details of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe
The GLC Coupe's standard equipment package includes the AVANTGARDE exterior with 18‑inch light alloy wheels and chrome styling. At the rear, the tailgate flaunts the Mercedes logo and features split taillight into the sides which are connected by black and red design elements. At the bottom, the exhausts are surrounded by a chrome element that runs across the bumper. Hybrid models have mixed-profile tyres with different widths on the front and rear axles. The car's width is highlighted by the seamless transition from the LED headlights to the radiator grille, which features the standard Mercedes-Benz pattern.
The AMG Line package of the GLC is available with 19-inch or 20-inch mixed-profile tyres, wheel arch liners in the car's matching colour and an optional Night package. Other features include wide track and flush wheels in 18- to 20-inch sizes.
Interior details of the new GLC Coupé
The design of the seats incorporates layered and contoured surfaces, which gives them a visually lightweight appearance. The headrests and their connection to the backrest have also been redesigned and are now covered. A leather-lined dashboard with nappa-look beltlines is now available as a special feature and is standard for the AMG Line. Additionally, some trim elements have unique surface finishes, including open-pored wood veneers in brown, anthracite, and black, with aluminium inlays.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe now has larger boot space for long trips, it has a capacity of 545 litres, which is 45 litres more than the previous model, and in mild hybrid models, it can reach up to 1,490 litres (90 litres more than before). In plug-in hybrids, the boot capacity ranges from 390 to 1,335 litres. It also comes with an EASY-PACK tailgate that can be opened or closed conveniently at the touch of a button using the ignition key.

The mild-hybrid variant is equipped with a turbocharger and a second-generation integrated starter-generator (ISG), along with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that assists the combustion engine, especially at low engine speeds and also improves efficiency by supporting hybrid functions.
