Mercedes is expected to launch the next-generation 2023 GLC Coupe in the coming months, and our shooters in Stuttgart have now caught the first shots proving the new model is yet out and about for testing on public roads.
Taking inspiration from the all-new GLC by adopting its front-end styling, the GLC Coupe trades its traditional SUV body for a sleeker, more-aerodynamic shape – as seen on the current-generation model, which sits alongside the larger GLE Coupe. The controversial body style was pioneered in 2007, with the first-generation BMW X6 generally considered to be the world’s first coupe SUV.
Design elements of this particular prototype include a ducktail spoiler, fake exhaust tips and a reshaped window frame against the wagon body.
As a whole, the Mercedes-Benz GLC is currently the brand’s highest-selling model globally, with the revised version seeing evolution over the outgoing generation.
Despite this, the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC acquires many elements from the recently launched C-Class, such as the ditching of six- and eight-cylinder powertrains in favour of electrified four-cylinder engines.
This will extend to AMG models, with plug-in hybrid technology likely for the powerful 500kW-plus GLC 63.
Although there has been little chatter from the brand so far about the next-generation 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe, it is expected to debut early next year.
