Gulf Weekly Sporty coupé with the appeal of an SUV

JUST a few weeks after unveiling the GLC SUV, Mercedes-Benz is now presenting the GLC Coupé.

The next generation of the successful model skilfully and intricately combines the sportiness of a coupé with the functionality of an SUV.

The result, its designers say, is a vehicle for individualists who attach maximum importance to extraordinary looks, the greatest possible freedom and pioneering technology.

Innovative technologies, intelligent driving assistance systems and a new engine line-up make the Coupé a paragon of sportiness, safety and efficiency.

The GLC Coupé impresses with its distinctive appearance, innovative driving assistance systems, a new engine line-up and the latest generation of the MBUX Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system with its wide range of control options.

The enhanced driving assistance systems have been expanded by adding an exit-warning function, emergency-corridor function and tail-end-of-traffic-jam function, among others. Also new is a Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, which provides assistance when manoeuvring in reverse.

Hallmark off-road features include the dominant front end, powerful forms and standard-fit chrome details like the front and rear underride guards.

Its coupé character shines through in the squat silhouette with the dropping roof line and rounded rear window. Highlights at the front end include the powerfully contoured diamond radiator grille with integrated star and single louvre typical of a coupé, complemented by the distinctive air intakes and the new contours of the standard-fit LED High Performance headlamps.

An optional energising comfort control combines various in-vehicle systems to create an optimum environment. This integrates lighting and music moods, climate control, suitable music and video selections as well as a massage function, heating and ventilation for the seats.

At market launch the GLC Coupé will be available with new engines, with further engines to be added to the line-up during the course of the year.

At present, Mercedes-Benz has a successful presence in the SUV segment with seven models - GLA, GLC, GLC Coupé, GLE, GLE Coupé, GLS and G-Class.
