2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV vs 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe

The GLC is the SUV representative for the C-Class lineup. Previously known as the GLK, the GLC is now available as the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. To find out how it compares to the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV, we put their specifics side by side in this comparison. Although they are both obvious Mercedes-Benz vehicles, they do not appear to be the same vehicle from the outside. This brings us to our first incongruence: size. 

At first glance, the GLC Coupe looks much smaller than the GLC SUV. Although this is true in some dimensions, the GLC Coupe is actually longer than the SUV variant. The two vehicles share the same wheelbase, but the Coupe is 2.9 inches longer and the SUV is 2.5 inches taller. You wouldn't think this miniscule change could cause a big difference between vehicles, but it does actually affect the way the car rides and handles.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV is not yet available as an AMG® model. This is an inevitable edition, but for now, the GLC is only available as the GLC 300 or the GLC 300 4MATIC®. With the introduction of the GLC Coupe, the Mercedes-Benz AMG® GLC 43 emerges from the woodwork. It features a powerful engine and completely changes what it means to be a GLC owner. Because AMG® combines thrilling power with respectable fuel economy, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV vs 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe comparison gets much easier. The GLC Coupe may look smaller, but all things considered, it is actually about the same size with more stability.
