About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC
2nd-generation GLC, first U.S. model year for the redesigned AMG GLC 43 SUV
Mercedes-Benz positions the AMG GLC as a five-seat luxury SUV with sports-car-inspired power and handling hardware. Its core appeal is the combination of everyday cargo and passenger usefulness with a handcrafted engine, rear-biased AWD, adaptive suspension, rear-axle steering, strong brakes, and a modern digital cockpit. It targets drivers who want a practical compact luxury SUV that feels more responsive and performance-focused than a regular GLC.
The 2024 AMG GLC 43 is the performance-focused GLC, combining five-passenger practicality with a handcrafted engine, rear-biased AWD, adaptive suspension, and strong brakes. Its cabin has an 11.9-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic roof, and heated front seats.

2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC
(29 reviews)
“The controls in the steering wheel are way too small and annoying to use. The music controls on the touch screen are not located in a convenient place on the screen. The speakers don't get loud at all. It's very fast and very cute and drivers really well.”
“Best of both worlds. Drives like a sports car with the convenience of a hatchback for carrying people and cargo. Very zippy and fun.”
