Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe: India Launch Overview

Launched in India on March 3, 2020, the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe marks the first non-AMG Coupe SUV from the German automaker in the country. Previously, Indian buyers only had access to the AMG GLC 43 Coupe, but this facelifted version now brings the regular GLC Coupe to the mainstream market.

This model directly rivals the BMW X4 in India and represents the facelifted global version that debuted internationally in 2019.

Exterior Highlights

The 2020 GLC Coupe showcases several updates:

• New diamond-stud mesh grille with a single chrome slat and the signature Mercedes star.

• Updated LED headlamps with integrated DRLs.

• A more aggressive bumper with chrome inserts tailored specifically for the Indian market.

• Sloping coupe-style roofline, distinguishing it from the standard GLC SUV.

• Sporty 19-inch alloy wheels.

• Restyled LED taillamps and a dual exhaust setup at the rear.

Interior & Features

The cabin has been modernized with both style and tech upgrades:

• A new flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel.

• A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system powered by the latest MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) with AI capabilities.

  • Voice-activated commands: Just say “Hey Mercedes” to control navigation, media, or climate functions.

  • ‘Mercedes Me’ connected tech for remote access and control.

• Enhanced safety and driver-assistance features:

  • Exit-warning assist

  • Emergency-corridor assist

  • Tail-end-of-traffic-jam assist

• Trailer Manoeuvring Assist: Aids in reverse trailer movement.

• 360-degree camera system for enhanced parking and visibility.

Summary

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe combines the practicality of an SUV with the sporty flair of a coupe, now accessible to a broader Indian audience outside the AMG badge. With updated looks, smart technology, and a strong feature set, it steps in confidently to challenge rivals like the BMW X4 in the premium coupe-SUV space.
