Mercedes-Benz GLC has AMG models, specifically the AMG GLC 43 and AMG GLC 63. The Mercedes-Benz GLC can be considered as the coupe version of the GLK, developed based on the new generation GLK, bringing more platform advantages to the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Below is the relevant introduction of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43: 1. In terms of power, the AMG GLC 43 is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, with a maximum horsepower of 367. The AMG GLC 43 uses a 9-speed automatic transmission. 2. In terms of acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h, the official acceleration time is 4.9 seconds. 3. In terms of fuel consumption, according to the comprehensive fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the fuel consumption of the AMG GLC 43 is 9.2L/100km.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC indeed has AMG performance versions, which is the topic I'm most eager to discuss as a long-time fan of luxury SUVs. In the overseas models, the GLC 43 AMG is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine that delivers 390 horsepower, while the top-tier GLC 63 S AMG uses a 4.0T V8 engine to rocket up to 510 horsepower, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. The main model available in China is the GLC 43 AMG, featuring eye-catching sport kits like the star-patterned grille with red brake calipers and a chassis lowered by 15 mm. What impressed me most during the test drive was the AMG exhaust roar—the moment it started, the growl sent chills down my spine. However, it's worth noting that the AMG versions cost about 300,000 RMB more than the standard GLC and have significantly higher fuel consumption, typically starting at 15 L/100 km in city driving. But for those who crave driving excitement, the exhilarating acceleration of this performance beast is absolutely worth the price.

Speaking of the AMG version of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, as an owner who has experienced three generations of Mercedes, I have a lot to say. Currently, the model available in the domestic market is the GLC 43 AMG. The biggest difference between it and the regular GLC lies in the powertrain: the standard version uses a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, while the AMG version packs a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, doubling the horsepower to 390 hp. I particularly love the AMG-tuned 9AT transmission, which shifts crisply and decisively, and even automatically blips the throttle on downshifts in Sport+ mode. The interior features AMG-exclusive steering wheel and sport seats, with red stitching that really adds flair. However, I should remind space-conscious buyers that the AMG version sacrifices some rear-seat comfort due to its reinforced suspension. If your budget allows and you're into performance cars, I highly recommend trying the launch control function—the instant acceleration is more thrilling than a rollercoaster. Maintenance-wise, note that AMG servicing costs are 1.5 times that of the standard version.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC certainly has AMG models, which are representative of German performance vehicles. I've researched that the main model available in China is the GLC 43, which received an upgrade last year with a 48V mild hybrid system, making low-speed starts smoother. Compared to the regular GLC, the AMG version features wider tires—255 in the front and 285 in the rear—significantly improving grip. AMG engineers have specially tuned the chassis, and the rear-axle steering makes this large vehicle exceptionally agile in corners. The interior differences are mainly in the details, such as metal pedals with AMG logos and a Dinamica microfiber steering wheel. The most thrilling aspect is the exhaust system; when the valves open at mid-range RPMs, the roar directly transmits to the cockpit. Fuel consumption is indeed on the higher side, but considering the sub-3-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, it's reasonable. In terms of resale value, the AMG version is about 15% higher than the regular model.
