The all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC Coupé is now available in Malaysia for RM469K onwards

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia earlier today launched the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC Coupé together with the facelifted Mercedes-AMG  GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé (which you can find details HERE). This is the sportier looking variant of the very recently launched, all-new GLC SUV. With its fastback rear styling, it sacrifices some bootspace for a more youthful, performance inspired look overall. The Retail Price* with 10% Sales Tax RM 469,888 On the road without Insurance

Like the recently launched SUV variant, it features a 2.0liter turbocharged 4 cylinder engine with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and a 48 volt electrical system. The ISG combines starter and alternator in one powerful electric motor and is installed between the engine and the transmission to add more torque and performance. 0-100kmh is in 6.3seconds (which is actually 0.1second slower than the SUV variant - the price to pay for that fastback sporty looking rear is more class and a slight weight penalty resulting in that 0.1 second slower time.) Top speed is 246kmh still though.

But, that said, you're buying this for its rarity factor. The sportier looks and more premium price (the normal GLC is under RM400K) will ensure exclusivity. 

Bettina Plangger, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars Malaysia &;SEA II said, “We are happy to introduce the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC Coupé where the exquisite blend of efficiency meets an unrivalled visual presence. This luxury SUV is a testament to refined luxury and innovative design and we are delighted to present it to our customers in Malaysia. The sporty coupé silhouette is at the heart of its visual identity, exuding a sense of elegance, dynamism, and a hint of offroad adventure from the very first glance. Stepping into the interior, the fusion of sportiness and contemporary styling is immediately evident. The dashboard is thoughtfully divided into two horizontal sections, generously embellished with trim surfaces.”

Details of the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC Coupe AMG-Line

Exterior highlights

The GLC Coupé combines sporty performance with high efficiency. The vehicle is a mild hybrid with 48-volt technology and an integrated starter-generator for an extra boost and energy recuperation. Off the road, the Coupé scores with numerous features such as 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The off-road screen and the"transparent bonnet” as an element of the 360° camera enhance the comfort of the driving experience. This allows drivers to maneuver confidently and safely around obstacles.

The defining feature of the all-new GLC Coupé is its sporty silhouette. It is immediately recognisable as a member of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family with the iconic Mercedes-Benz pattern on the radiator grille. The dramatic surfaces continue to define the exterior design. It is enhanced with precisely moulded edges that accentuate the proportions and the muscular wheel arches. They also strike a balance between elegance and power.

The AMG Line with Chrome package features 20-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels and wheel arch liners in the vehicle colour. The brake system with enlarged and perforated brake discs on the front axle always packs a powerful punch, even after several heavy braking action. 

With the panoramic sliding sunroof, the vehicle looks particularly exclusive  while providing passengers ample lighting in the interior. The aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs underline the off-road capability of the GLC Coupé and makes getting in and out of the vehicle easier.

Accentuating the width of the vehicle are the two-part tail lights with black-coloured and dark red connecting elements, closed off below by the simulated chrome underguard. The all-new GLC Coupé is equipped with DIGITAL LIGHT. The light is created by a matrix of LEDs in the headlight unit that can be individually controlled. This permits a targeted and dynamic distribution and control of light in response to conditions. The result is excellent visibility for the driver without impairing that of other road users. With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, drivers drive with continuous high beam without dazzling others. The intelligent system excludes oncoming traffic or vehicles in front with highly precise LEDs.

As with all Mercedes-Benz models, safety is vital as such the all-new GLC Coupé comes with PRE-SAFE® system, Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and Active Brake Assist. GUARD 360° vehicle protection offers all-round monitoring of the vehicle's surroundings – for example with the break-in and anti-theft alarm system with tow-away protection. The Parking Package with 360° camera and Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC turn the challenge of tight parking spaces into confident composure. Drivers can park effortlessly thanks to dynamic visualisation and audible feedback – or have the vehicle parked with assisted parking.

The interior details

The interior of the all-new GLC Coupé is equipped with the sporty AMG Line interior featuring multifunction sports steering wheel in nappa leather and instrument panel and beltlines in ARTICO man-made leather in nappa look. The dashboard is clearly structured. The upper section has a wing-like profile with new, flattened vent outlets. The lower section has a generous trim area that flows seamlessly into the curved centre console. The 12.3-inch high-resolution LCD screen in front of the driver appears to float freely above the wing profile and trim surface.

The 11.9-inch central display rises from the centre console and likewise appears to float above the trim surface. Like the dashboard, the screen surface is slightly angled towards the driver.

The all-new GLC Coupé includes metal structure trim element and centre console in metal- structure finish elevating the interior even further. The seat design with ARTICO man-made leather upholstery plays with layers and contoured surfaces, lending them visual lightness. For an added level of comfort, the vehicle comes with KEYLESS-GO Comfort Package, Boot Comfort Package, THERMATIC automatic climate control, and EASY-PACK tailgate.

The hardware and software of the latest generation of the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system offer even better user friendliness. Brilliant images in the driver and central display make it easy to control vehicle and comfort functions. The two LCD screens present clear and structured information. The full-screen navigation gives the driver the best possible route guidance.

The MBUX Augmented Reality for navigation uses a camera to register the surroundings in front of the vehicle. The central display shows the moving images and also superimposes virtual objects, information and markers. These include traffic signs, directional arrows, lane-change recommendations and house numbers.

This makes navigation much easier, especially in urban areas. Experience greater audio performance with exquisite Burmester® sound. The high-quality speakers achieve impressive surround sound.
