Review and specifications
2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe
The redesigned GLC Coupe launched with a 255-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that uses 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Two performance versions are available, the AMG 63 S E Coupe is the brand's first performance hybrid SUV coupe, featuring a 671 hp system output. The AMG 43 Coupe features 416 hp. The GLC Coupe is among a small number of SUVs that blend car-like styling with SUV ride height and capabilities. The curved roof brings compromises to cargo space. The cabin is similar to the latest wave of Mercedes-Benz models, with a digital instrument cluster and three large, circular vents in the center dash. The GLC Coupe has a 12.3-inch center screen that looks like a tablet computer stuck on the dash. This hosts the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system. AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, reverse automatic emergency braking are standard.

Brand context
About Mercedes-Benz
Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is an expensive base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, station wagons, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Its two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs, although Consumer Reports has found used models with above-average reliability.
