GLC 300 Coupé 4MATIC: Enterprising and Welcoming

Modern cars are closely linked to the history that precedes them. In fact, many terms indicating the type of vehicle body refer to the old jargon used for horse-drawn carriages, which were, in effect, the predecessors of the cars we drive today.

The term "coupé" used to indicate carriages pulled by horses characterized by only two doors, an interior sofa, and front-facing folding seats. According to ISO 3833 standards from 1977, a coupé is a car with two doors, two seats, and two windows. This definition tried to encompass cars that approached the concept of a coupé, with a shorter cabin than classic sedans. However, this denomination has caused some headaches since the early 2000s when automakers began offering vehicles with coupé-like shapes, even for cars with four doors and four seats.

The iconic design of coupé cars captures the imagination of those encountering the Mercedes GLC Coupé 300 de 4Matic for the first time, the mid-size SUV from the House of the Star presented in the hybrid version that combines plug-in charging with the internal combustion engine. The soft lines that intertwine with the front lights give the car an aggressive and determined "gaze," and a proud and resolute "look," with lines that detach, making everything soft and welcoming. The running boards at the base of the doors give a sense of off-road mixed with practicality, in a car that combines the coupe's sharp look with an appearance that actually adapts to any use.

It is 4,731 mm long x 1,890 mm wide x 1,622 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,873 mm. The interiors are always a focal point for Mercedes, which, for this car, presents the classic elegant and refined approach, but changes the front layout, where there is no double tablet but a central 10.25'' monitor and a 12.3'' digital instrument cluster. The trunk holds 470 liters, with a wide and flat loading area.

The plug-in hybrid SUV is powered by an internal combustion engine, a 2.0 turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel with 194 hp (143 kW), and an electric motor with 122 hp (90 kW), providing a system power of over 300 hp and 400 Nm of torque. In the city, it proves to be maneuverable with light steering, but the car excels on extra-urban roads, being very quiet with premium shock absorbers and suspension. The classic day trip will be combined with the comfort of a journey without feeling bumps and critical points on the road. At full charge, it reaches 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 230 km/h. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive allows it to face the most adverse weather conditions without excessive worries: in general, it is a dynamic and sporty SUV that does not overshadow comfort and the driving experience.
