Mercedes-Benz India has launched the new-generation GLC 43 AMG Coupe 4MATIC luxury SUV in the country priced at 1.10 crore (ex-showroom, India). The new-gen Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe 4MATIC arrives in an all-new avatar, following the launch of the new-gen GLC SUV in 2023. While the previous generation GLC 43 AMG Coupe was available with a V6, the new offering gets a downsized powertrain that promises more power and better efficiency, accentuated by the folks at Affalterbach.

The GLC 43 AMG Coupe comes back to India after a hiatus of two years. The new version is based on the latest-gen GLC SUV and borrows the underpinnings from the latter. The overall design is accentuated with the AMG treatment including the Panamericana grille, AMG-spec alloy wheels, and beefier bumpers with larger air intakes. Compared to the standard GLC, the new GLC 43 AMG Coupe gets a receding roofline that gives the model its unique appearance over the regular SUV body style.

Power on the new GLC 43 AMG Coupe comes from the 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder turbo petrol engine hand-built in Affalterbach. The new motor uses an electric gas exhaust turbocharger, a technology borrowed from F1 cars, along with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Compared to the predecessor which used a 3.0-litre V6 engine, the new and smaller engine develops 415 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque. That's 33 bhp more than its predecessor with a 20 Nm drop in torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed AMG Multi-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels.

0-100 kmph comes up in 4.8 seconds on the performance coupe SUV. The model also gets multiple driving modes, three-stage AMG steering, adjustable suspension and more.
