As we get closer to the local debut of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, it looks like our European spy photographers have managed to capture the best look yet at its coupe cousin. The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe SUV was spied once before, but there are a few differences between this test mule and the ones we’ve seen before.
For one, this prototype that was spotted at a Swedish gas station rocks a single-bar diamond radiator grille with a centralised Three-Pointed Star. The camouflage around the front end keeps its particular design line under wraps, but judging by the wheels, front grille and single exhaust, this could be one of the lower-end GLC Coupe variants.
Don’t be fooled by the appearance of dual exhaust tips – look closely, and the “outlets” are clearly fake. Despite the camouflage all over the rear, it once again appears the GLC Coupe will share a very similar tail-end design with its larger GLE Coupe sibling.
The tail lights appear to be elongated, as they are on most new Mercedes-Benz coupes big and small. The GLC Coupe’s boot also features a familiar upward-angled lip.
The coupe SUV will directly compete against the RM439k BMW X4, positioning itself as a like-for-like alternative to the Bavarian Sports Activity Coupe (SAC). And while it may look plainly like a shrunken version of the GLE Coupe, this GLC actually has a lot more in common with the W205 C-Class.
The GLC Coupe is likely to feature common powertrains, have a similar interior design and lots of common technology with the new C-Class – as does the regular GLC itself. This should leave little left to the imagination as to what engines the GLC Coupe will offer, and to what its interior will look like.
With the new W213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class set to make an appearance at the coming Detroit Auto Show alongside the new SLC roadster, the German car manufacturer may spring a surprise on us by revealing the GLC Coupe there as well. Failing that, the Geneva Motor Show, another suitable venue for the GLC Coupe’s full reveal, is also just around the corner.
