Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) continues revising its SUVs range locally today after launching a further two new models. Leading today’s launch was the new second generation (C254) Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4Matic Coupe AMG Line.

Aptly, this is the sportier coupe-bodied twin of the second-gen X254 GLC 300 4Matic AMG Line that was launched earlier this year and recently localised (CKD) by MBM at its Pekan plant. For now, the model officially launches as a fully imported (CBU) offering too.

Note the sportier coupe-like roofline the GLC 300 4Matic Coupe boasts over the regular GLC 300 4Matic.

Picking up where its C253-gen predecessor left off, the new C254 model introduced today mirrors closely to what we’ve already seen and experienced in its traditional SUV-bodied X254 twin. This includes the mild hybrid (MHEV) powertrain, AMG Line interior and exterior specifications, and more.

Under the hood is a familiar 2.0-litre MHEV turbo petrol heart rated at 258 HP and 400 NM. This is paired with a 9-speed auto and AWD driveline.

Altogether, 0-100 KM/H sprints are despatched in 6.3 seconds whilst enroute towards an electronically limited V-max of 250 KM/H – similar figures as what we’ve seen and experienced in the standard-bodied GLC 300 4Matic model.
