New Mercedes GLC Coupe (facelift) launched in India, priced from INR 62.7 lakh
The new Mercedes GLC Coupe that was introduced in March last year has been launched in India for a starting price of INR 62.7 lakh*. Unlike the old model, the new model is locally assembled. The facelifted luxury SUV-coupe features a more aggressive design and packs many other enhancements, detailed in the story below.
Beginning with the design, the new Mercedes GLC Coupe flaunts a more dominant front end. Sleeker headlamps with new contours lending more aggression, a redesigned grille that emphasises the vehicle’s width, larger side air vents and more muscular bumper give the face a brawnier look.
The A-pillars of the 2020 Mercedes GLC Coupe have a more pronounced slope, and this lowers the roof silhouette, ultimately increasing the sportiness. Noteworthy visual changes at the rear include tail lamps with new tubular graphics, bigger tailpipe housing and a new-look diffuser.
Moving to the interior, a multifunctional touchpad on the centre console replaces the rotary pushbutton, improving operating convenience. Also new are a completely revised steering wheel, a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen central display, the MBUX infotainment system and the ability to activate voice control via even a “Hey Mercedes” prompt.
The 2020 Mercedes GLC Coupe is offered in India in two engine variants: GLC 300 4MATIC petrol and GLC 300 d 4MATIC diesel. The former has been updated to become a mild-hybrid offering. It packs a new engine that integrates the EQ Boost 48-volt on-board electrical system. The belt-driven starter-generator is on duty for hybrid functions such as boost or energy recuperation.
