Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé (C253) (C253)

The GLC Coupé took the fastback-SUV idea down a size from the GLE Coupé, and found far more buyers than anyone had forecast.

Launched in 2016 on the X253’s platform, the C253 shared its M274 and M264 fours, M276 V6 and M177 V8, OM651 and OM654 diesels and 9G-TRONIC transmission, with 4MATIC standard on every version sold in Europe.

The AMG GLC 63 S Coupé produced 510 PS; production ran to 2023.
