The Mercedes GLC53 AMG
Mercedes has revealed the latest addition to its sporty SUV line-up with the new GLC53 AMG.
The new offering is available in SUV and Coupe body styles and receives a revised three-litre inline six-cylinder turbo-charged petrol engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology and 4Matic all-wheel drive system.
That means it develops a total of 443bhp and 600Nm of torque, while 100kph comes round in four seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 250kph. Underneath, the car is equipped with AMG Air Ride Control suspension, which has been tweaked and tuned to deliver sharper cornering abilities and the adaptive dampers are designed to help improve the car’s ride comfort.
The exterior features 21-inch matte black AMG forged alloy wheels, glossy black brake calipers with white AMG logos. These are complemented by an enlarged front splitter, a larger AMG lip on the rear spoiler for the SUV variant and on the tailgate for the Coupe model.
Prices closer to launch.
