2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S Coupe (New)

2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S Coupe: The GLC Coupe is a baby in Mercedes’ lineup, featuring a hatchback body with raised suspension to go with a 241-horsepower engine and all the luxury features one has come to expect from German vehicles. The GLC Coupe has barely started gracing showrooms, but the lineup is now complete with the GCL43 Coupe and the newly announced GLC63 and GLC63 S Coupe. Powered by an AMG, 4.0-liter V-8, you can stare down the competition with either 476 horsepower in standard form or 510 horsepower in S form. Keep in mind that this is the same engine used in the AMG GT family as is that prominent Panamericana grille that graces the nose of the beast. Add the motivation together with the grille and the more aggressive fascias, and you’ve got yourself the perfect mix of power, style, space, comfort, and agility all in one Germanly sexy package.

If there’s one thing we can be sure of, it’s that humans, as a species, are never happy with what they have and always want more. It’s the same reason brands like Microsoft and Sony can get away with producing a gaming system, then producing a “slimmer” model just a few years later. It’s also one of the reasons why your cell phone is outdated just a few months after you buy it – manufacturers know that you’ll be willing to pay again to get the next big thing. Getting back on topic, that’s also why the world now has a handful of coupes that ride on SUV suspensions like the Mercedes GLC Coupe, the F-Pace, and the Porsche Macan – the latter of which both compete with the GLC Coupe in one way or another. And, despite there being a limited number of these coupe crossovers on the market, the competition is actually pretty stiff between the models that are available. The Mercedes-AMG GLC63 is a pretty wild ride in its own regard, but the GLC63 Coupe pushes that performance and styling to a whole new level – one that’s synonymous with the other “63” models from the AMG world. So, let’s dive on in a take a look at AMG’s latest and greatest.

Exterior: As is the usual case with AMG-branded models, the body shell itself is identical to that of the standard GLC Coupe. That means you get the same hood with mild lines, mediumly aggressive bodylines along the side profile, and the exorbitant roof that provides SUV proportions up front and coupe-like proportions in the rear. The doors are rather tall with short glass up top to keep things proportionate while the rear end looks like that of a blown-up sedan that sits just a little too tall for a car vehicle with a such a small rear hatch. It almost reminds me of the old Civic CRX or the new Civic Hatchback. So, what separates the AMG-branded GLC Coupe from the standard offering?

Well, let’s take another look at the front end again. First off, the most noticeable thing is the Panamericana grille up front that takes the place of the standard AMG grille. Previously reserved for the AMG GT line of whips, the vertical and chrome slats accent the Mercedes emblem nicely and add to the overall look of height that Mercedes was going for with this overgrown and jacked up coupe. You get the same headlight lenses as you do with the non-AMG model, but down below a new fascia gives the GLC63 its own unique look. Instead of having an insert that surrounds the air dam and a standalone vent in each corner, an insert in the fascia that looks something like a moustache with curved tips carves out a slightly larger air dam and more upright vents. Those corner vents are linked together thanks to the design of the insert. The lip down below adds just a little more character.

When it comes to the side profile, you won’t find a lot of change, however, the GLC63 does get a new set of side skirts to match that front lip. It also comes standard with 19-inch, light alloy, 10-spoke wheels as standard equipment. These wheels come finished in titanium gray and measure eight-inches wide in the front and nine-inches wide in the rear. The GLC63 S gets 20-inch, five-spoke units that are finished in titanium gray and measure 9.5-inches in the front and 10-inches in the rear. You can also opt for the optional 21-inch wheels on both GLC63 models, but that’ll surely set you back a few extra grand.
