2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Debuts With Updated Styling, 385 HP
Coupe and SUV models also get a tech upgrade inside.
Well, it looks like we have some mud on our faces. Mercedes-Benz unveiled its facelifted GLC-Class earlier in 2019, starting with the standard SUV in March at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. A month later we saw the GLC Coupe arrive in New York, along with the amped-up AMG GLC 63. An anonymous tip came to our inbox in June, claiming to be a Mercedes dealer with news that the lower-level AMG GLC 43 was dropped. Obviously, that’s not the case as now we have a whole bunch of photos and full information on the 2020 GLC 43, both in standard and coupe trim.
The minor facelift will be familiar to everyone who follows Mercedes. A revised front fascia with the Panamericana Grille and fresh headlights grace the GLC 43’s nose, with new taillights and a redesigned lower fascia at the rear being the exterior highlights. The oval quad exhaust outlets on the GLC 43 serve to visually separate it from the GLC 63.
Inside, you’ll find similarly subtle changes fitted to the existing GLC greenhouse, with updated trim options and a new steering wheel being the obvious differences. From a tech standpoint, both iterations of the GLC 43 receive the latest MBUX infotainment system. A 10.25-inch touchscreen is mounted in the center of the dash, while the driver gets a 12.3-inch instrument cluster.
Familiarity abounds under the GLC 43’s skin. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, 9-speed automatic transmission, and 4Matic all-wheel-drive system are essentially carry over, though the boosted mill is tuned to produce 385 horsepower (287 kilowatts). That’s a modest 23-hp improvement from the previous model, and while it’s not as brisk as the GLC 63’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, Mercedes-AMG says it can reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Combine that with a rear-biased AWD system, and the GLC 43 is still a lively people mover.
Pricing isn’t available for the new GLC 43, but Mercedes says it should be available later this year.

IAA 2019: GLC 300 E 4MATIC RECEIVES 4-CYLINDER WITH 1,991 CC
Mercedes-Benz has now published the details of the upcoming GLE 300 e 4MATIC, which will be officially shown at the IAA 2019 in Frankfurt. Accordingly, the model has a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with 1,991 cc and 155 kW / 211 hp (at 5,500 rpm) and 350 Nm (at 1,200-4,000 rpm) - the built-in electric motor has a rated output of 90 kW as well as 440 Nm torque. The system output is 235 kW / 320 hp and 700 Nm of torque.

GLC 300 E 4MATIC: CAN ALSO BE USED FOR TRAILER OPERATION
With the new GLC 300 e 4MATIC, customers only have to accept a small amount of loading space. As SUV with four-wheel drive and the GLC 300 e is predestined for trailer operation, the trailer load is 2,000 kg (braked). The GLC was designed from the outset so that a battery can be integrated to save space. Contributing to this are the lowered rear axle and the bodyshell designed for battery integration. The result is a flat and large luggage space, which is only slightly smaller with 395-1,445 liters than other GLC.
BATTERY CAPACITY OF 13.5 KWH
The GLC 300 e 4MATIC with a total battery capacity of 13.5 kWh has a combined power consumption of 17.8-16.5 kWh per 100 km. The specified e-drive range is - according to NEDC - at 46-49 km, according to WLTP at 39-43 km. When consuming the gasoline engine Mercedes-Benz calculates a combined value of 2.5-2.2 liters per 100 km.
ALREADY THIRD HYBRID GENERATION
Hybrid vehicles with C-to S-Class longitudinal engines, GLC and GLE are already the third hybrid generation since the introduction of the S 400 Hybrid in 2009. The current electric motor was 9G-TRONIC newly designed in hybrid transmission and is constructed according to the principle of a permanent magnet synchronous machine as an internal rotor.
The order release for the GLC 300 e 4MATIC should take place in the 4th quarter of 2019. Exact information about it we have not yet.

I hope they install this I6 in the next C-class, Mercedes need a rival to the splendid 330d and 340d models. Although their 180kw 2.0 diesel is competitive in power terms but in refinement it totally loses to the inline 6 motors from BMW.
