Introduction to the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG 4MATIC Coupé
Thanks to its increased driving position, spacious space, and tempting options for many, the SUV is the preferred means of transport for many, which has become traditional box-shaped off-roaders, to economic city crossovers and slim, fast coupé SUVs. Such an example is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG 4MATIC Coupé.
Design & Aesthetics
The GLC has always been a finely looking compact SUV with an aesthetics that may not be left behind in the rapture, but is pleasant to most eyes. This 2nd generation has a more car-like face with a wider AMG-specific radiator grille and slimmer LED lights with chrome slated with an incredible 650 meter long high beam. In the other cyclists, the beautiful rally car-car-21-inch black light metal wheels house, while the revised rear end has a light rod over the width, similar to the new Q5. There is also a lip spoiler and a round quad exhaust to leave motor heads enthusiastic. Despite the abundance of details, it has a coherent design that radiates the luxury and the race, which is connected to the coveted AMG badge that many like that are parked in their entrance.
The side step looks good, but is unnecessary when you consider how relatively low this SUV is. However, the large projected 3-point star emblems about the pussy lamps are a nice gesture.
The interior is a beautiful room where you can live, no matter how long the trip. It is part of the cockpit, a luxurious sedan and clearly the product of a really creative designer. The highlight is the beautiful, atypical 5-spoke steering wheel with soft leather packaging and touch controls that actually work. The high-quality plastics in combination with generous portions of carbon fiber and elongated ventilation slots that are beautifully illuminated by 64-colored surrounding lighting. For the technically experienced and always networked people, there is a 12.3-inch animated, colorful, customizable digital instrument cluster and a large portrait style in-port style, which is positioned like a sloping iPad on the waterfall center console. But at this price they could have offered the cross-door doors and the soft slows doors. The padded sports seats of leather and alkantara at the front are really comfortable and at the same time offer the necessary lateral support, and the rear cabin offers space for three average adults.
Drive Train & Performance
The words that are reminiscent of AMG are reminiscent of thundering V8S, but the GLC 43 AMG marks a clear divergence. It has neither a V8 nor the 3.0-liter V6 of the predecessor, but a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger, which costs north of DH400K. This message is not for the faint of heart. But wait, there is good news! It has a mild hybrid system of 48 V, which supplies an electric exhaust gas turbocharger with electricity and contributes to producing an intelligible 421 hp and 500 Nm-well-wise for a production 4 cylinder. It is also combined with a front engine that adds 14 hp and 150 Nm. It is important that it also wears AMG’s signature badge "a man, an engine".
And it drives with real bowl. The engine bangs at the start and while slandering the gas levers, it reinforces a crappy exhaust grade and brings it to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds (with racing start). You can also row your own gears via the 9-speed transmission paddle slide. And with a playful chassis it moves like a hot hatch in traffic and curves. The loan becomes the rear control, the all-wheel drive system and the grip of widths 265-section front and 295-section rear tires. It offers an off-road mode, but the low-profile tires and minimal travel trips mean that it is not an invitation to venture off-road. In addition, the suspension delivers a firm trip, but it is never blatant. However, the steering could be easier in comfort mode, and the brake pedal, which causes the large, crossed discs, is very sensitive. The specified fuel consumption was a respectable 12 l/100 km, and since this is a mild hybrid, there is no EV mode.
Functions and Functionality
The trunk has a good size with a net and elastic pockets to keep objects in place. Under the floor there is a space-saving replacement and additional space for pluckedphodes. And keeping the residents happy is a powerful 4-zone climate control system with very adjustable ventilation slots.
I love the 3D Burmester -Sound sound -The metallic speakers add a premium atmosphere, and the audio quality is excellent. The telephone pairing via Bluetooth is quick, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay working seamlessly. It is also included in wireless shops, although they are hidden in the lower center console, where the USB-C connections are located. In addition, the infotainment screen is not the fastest, but the user-friendly and colorful design is what makes it. Other highlights are a fingerprint scanner that stores your preferred settings, a voice control system activated by "Hey Mercedes" for infotainment functions and an accompanying app with which you can start/stop the vehicle, find it, etc. For safety reasons, you also get an active parking assistant, an high-resolution 360-degree camera Speed control and a function-centered functional of all useful in everyday driving.
Verdict
For love for luxury, exclusivity and speed, Mercedes has produced a chic compact SUV for the corporate aristocrats. It looks at home at top-class events and has an interior in which you are comfortable, connected and particularly feel. It also has a playful chassis and a scratchy exhaust that inspires every time you dive the gas. However, a fully equipped version near DH500K approaches the complete AMG attributes and some expected luxury goods.
