2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe spied testing; launch expected soon
Mercedes-Benz had recently unveiled the 2023 GLC for the global markets. Now, the brand has been found testing the coupe version of the SUV, albeit in a camouflaged avatar. The GLC Coupe will likely sport a front fascia similar to its sibling but with a swooping roofline and a ducktail spoiler. The four-wheeler will be backed by mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Why does this story matter?
- Mercedes-Benz has been known to experiment with body shapes of its vehicles, with more coupe-SUVs and estates emerging from the Stuttgart-based carmaker.
- The GLC Coupe will follow up on its recently launched SUV sibling and shall offer a quirky design with a tech-forward cabin and better performance than its predecessor.
- The four-wheeler will rival the likes of the Porsche Macan and BMW X4.
The car will flaunt 20-inch alloy wheels and ducktail spoiler
The new Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe will likely flaunt an aggressive front fascia similar to the regular model with a muscular hood, a large grille, a wide air dam, and LED headlights with DRLs. On the sides, it will be flanked by blacked-out pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and 20-inch alloy wheels. A swooping roof, ducktail spoiler, and LED taillights will grace the rear of the vehicle.
Multiple powertrain options will be offered
The details regarding the powertrain options of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe are yet to be disclosed. However, we expect the four-wheeler to be offered with an array of mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines as well as plug-in hybrid powertrains.
The vehicle will feature an MBUX touchscreen infotainment system
The interiors of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe are under the wraps. However, we expect the car to get a spacious cabin with a minimalist dashboard, premium upholstery, ventilated seats, ambient lighting, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It will pack a digital instrument console and an MBUX touchscreen infotainment system with support for the latest connectivity options. Passengers' safety will be ensured by multiple airbags.
