The GLC finally gets its full #MercedesAMG version, with this new #GLC6S E Performance - and despite looking absolutely epic, and with equally impressive figures on paper - it’s a car many are already not very happy with.
AMG customers are a confused, frustrated and sometimes bitter bunch these days. And most of the reason for that can be directed at this car; the new C63, which ditched its V8 in favour of half the cylinders of a 4 pot engine and rear mounted electric engine - the exact same formula used by this GLC. So you can understand the apprehension. I myself also concluded that the C63 although a capable car - simply didn’t deserve the name C63, and should have been called something else.
The new GLC 63 thus has an uphill battle, which ironically might be easier for an SUV. Today we’ll check out every detail of the glc 63, discuss the new 43, and coupe versions too, and finally go for a first drive and see - is it as soulless as we are rightly assuming title be, or does this somehow work better? Let’s find out!
The Previous car was hugely popular, because it was basically a C63 hooligan on stilts - with that hunk of a 510 HP V8 paired to the clever 4matic+ AWD. It was one of the first to adopt the GT R’s mean face too, so always looked the part, and backed it up with results - being the fastest 4x4 on the Nurburgring for almost all of it’s lifecycle.
Our new GLC 63 E - is just as good looking. As is the GLC 43, which looks identical from this angle. This is a new trend which I think we will see continue into cars like the CLE 53, sharing the same body as the top version.
We will take a closer look at our car, which is the aero pack version - and some wildly different ones too. Like our Patagonia red car here without aero, and with carbon package. Or in the base version in the spectral blue car, where you have aluminium trims, and these lovely silver wheels that remind me of the EQ ones but just more aggressive!
Remember, you can also get the GLC 63 Coupe too, and the GLC 43 coupe! Both which I’ll show you.
Let’s now discuss the elephant in the room - while this might look like a McDonald’s cheeseburger, it is in fact a McPlant. Looks the same, performs the same job, healthier - but smack all the sauce you want on it - it ain’t the original! This is the issue AMG fans have.
Again we have the M139L 4 cyl engine, with the MGU H electric gas turbocharger from the AMG ONE. It pumps out insane power, at 476BHP by itself. Then add the electric engine, that sits with the 6.1KW performance battery derived from F1 - and this thing produces 100 HP continuously, or 200 at peak for 10 seconds.
That makes the total output 680BHP, 1020NM and a sprint to 60 of 3.5 seconds!! Yeah the system adds 300kg, so the car weighs 2310kg total. That’s around 300 more than the old car, hence why we have to horsepower to counter this. But unlike the C63 we have more than power to counter the weight. We have a clever thing from the S63 : an electric anti roll stabilisation system! This is the thing that made the S63 kick the GT63’s ass dynamically despite being heavier.
Of course we also have the usual AMG Ride control suspension, a 9 speed multi clutch gearbox, and finally the brilliant 4matic+ awd system, which can send 100% power to the rear.
There is a model underneath this too - the GLC 43. And benefits from almost everything I just mentioned, except for the anti roll system - which it might not need being that much lighter at just 2 tonnes!
This has the same engine but without the P3 system - and a smaller E Turbo unit. Regardless, it still produces 421 BHP, and a little boost of 14hp from the belt starter generator. 500Nm and a sprint to 60 of 4.8 seconds.
