Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 63 Coupe is a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the BMW X4 M. Apart from this, the Audi SQ5 makes for a good rival. If you want more, the midsize SUV segment offers the Jaguar F-PACE S. Available as a standalone trim, the AMG GLC 63 Coupe starts off at a base price of MSRP $74,100. Its 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 469 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 3.8 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Mercedes Benz AMG GLC 63 coupe manages to get a combined EPA rating of 17 MPG, a poor number for the class. However, being the only V8-powered model among the competition makes these figures look sensible enough. It also has a ground clearance of 6.4 inches.

Buying Advice

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 63 Coupe can surely quench your thirst for power. While this SUV is meant for those who prioritize performance above all else, it’s also important to note that a few options can significantly improve its day-to-day livability.
