Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe
The GLC has been a luxury benchmark in the compact crossover segment ever since it first appeared in 2016. Mercedes-Benz expanded its appeal in 2017 with the introduction of the GLC Coupe, a fastback version that trades some of the original GLC's utility for a lower, longer, and sleeker silhouette. Owners of the GLC Coupe appreciate it most for its standout good looks, high-end interior, and satisfying balance of handling and ride comfort. On the downside, some find its real-world fuel economy disappointing. In addition, its tapered rear roofline cuts into rear-seat headroom and cargo space.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe Model Lineup
The GLC Coupe is a coupe-like version of Mercedes-Benz’s compact luxury crossover SUV, the GLC. The five-seater is the smaller of two fastback SUVs in the German automaker’s lineup, measuring about a foot shorter than the midsize GLE Coupe. A high-performance variant, known as the GLC Coupe AMG, is reviewed separately.
Mercedes-Benz offers the GLC Coupe in a single well-equipped trim: the GLC 300 4Matic. It’s powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which initially produced 241 horsepower but was upgraded to 255 hp in 2020. All-wheel drive comes standard, as does a nine-speed automatic transmission. No hybrid or electric versions have been produced.
Standard equipment on the GLC Coupe includes a power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, faux leather upholstery, heated front seats (starting in 2019), and a 7.0-inch infotainment display, which was upgraded to a 10.3-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration in 2020. That’s also the year that forward collision mitigation and blind-spot warning joined the list of standard features; automated parking and a surround-view camera followed in 2021. Some notable options on the GLC Coupe include leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, navigation, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a wireless device charger.

2017 Mercedes GLC300 Coupe 4Matic
It's a great vehicle with a very smooth ride. Only improvements needed is an increase in leg room for backseat passengers.

2017 Mercedes GLC300 Coupe 4Matic
It has a very rude suspension system and is useless off road. Can't change tires to soften the ride. Very uncomfortable situation. It's a beautiful body.

The car sounds great and is really fun to drive, however, the ride is a bit rough and there are rattling sounds and vibrations when going over bumps.

If you like style and need cargo room, add the GLC300 to your list of options.
