REVIEW: Mercedes has added some style to its GLC line-up with the GLC Coupe - we drive the swooping 4x4 to find out if it's worth the extra money
, which is rated for an impressive 79 miles of electric range, will make it to the UK at a later stage, most likely towards the end of 2023.Like the most powerful diesel, the petrol GLC 300 offers 254bhp but is slightly quicker, officially sprinting from 0-62mph in 6.3sec. But it doesn’t feel as sprightly as the numbers suggest and that’s largely due to the standard-fit nine-speed automatic gearbox.
In keeping with the GLC Coupé’s sporty nature, sports suspension comes as standard and, even on relatively small 19in wheels, it’s rather firm, moving you around in your seat and picking up on almost every imperfection that the road can throw at you. It’s not so bad that you wouldn’t be able to live with it, but rivals with air or adaptive suspension, at this price point, are far more comfortable.
As you might expect, the stiff suspension does pay off when you head out onto a winding country road, where the firmness helps the heavy car to remain composed, minimising body lean and giving you plenty of grip through corners. Like the SUV, the Coupé uses a variable steering set-up but it’s been tweaked for a sportier feel. It’s quite precise, but gains weight in a slightly uneven way, feeling light just off centre before suddenly getting heavier.
