Boasting groundbreaking technology, jaw-dropping performance, and athletic design, the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE leaves nothing to be desired. Let’s break down why this high-performance vehicle is creating waves in the automotive world.

A Precision Machine with Primal Power

The Mercedes-AMG® GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE redefines versatility. It combines dynamic performance and hybrid intelligence into a package that caters to speed enthusiasts without compromising on practicality. Whether you crave instant power on a straightaway or need the reliability of an everyday SUV, this vehicle truly does it all.

At its heart, it’s not “just another hybrid.” The GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE Edition 1 is engineered to provide the thrills of a supercar in a family-friendly and luxurious body. If there’s one thing AMG® engineers have proven, it’s that boundaries are made to be broken.

A Closer Look at the Design

Before you even turn the key (or push the start button), the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE makes an unmistakable impression. This isn’t your typical SUV.

Aggressive Exterior Styling

From the AMG®-specific Panamericana grille to the bold air intakes and air curtains, the GLC exudes athleticism. Every curve and line serves a purpose, whether it’s to optimize aerodynamics or signal the sheer power under the hood. At the rear, twin trapezoidal tailpipes give a subtle nod to the vehicle’s unrelenting thirst for propulsion.

Available design upgrades, such as the AMG® Night Package or the AMG® Exterior Carbon Fiber Package, add sharp accents to the already striking design. If you appreciate bold details, these packages will elevate the head-turning factor even more.

Interior Luxury

Step inside, and the GLC proves it’s more than just performance. Upholstered in premium MB-Tex/microfiber with available Nappa leather, every seat is designed for sport-inspired comfort. AMG®-specific details, such as the Performance steering wheel with Touch Control buttons, deliver an ergonomic and immersive driving experience.

Meanwhile, the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) system serves as your digital co-pilot. With voice control and AMG®-specific functionalities, it keeps you connected while allowing you to take full control of the drive. The interplay of cutting-edge technology and plush finishes guarantees a cabin space to rival luxury sedans.

The Engineered Heart of the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE

No review of this super-SUV is complete without discussing its heart and soul: the AMG® M139l engine. This powerplant is where artistry meets innovation, a result of relentless engineering inspired by the Mercedes-AMG® Petronas F1™ team.

Hybrid Power Done Right

The M139l is turbocharged with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, offering instant throttle response across all RPM ranges. Does that sound like tech jargon? Think of it this way — no matter when you hit the gas, you’re met with immediate, seamless acceleration.

Additionally, an integrated electric motor positioned on the rear axle amps up power output while enhancing balance and traction. With 671 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque at your disposal, this hybrid powertrain doesn’t just redefine efficiency; it redefines exhilaration. The 0–60 mph sprint takes just 3.4 seconds (estimated), with a top speed capped at 171 mph.

Built for Driving Enthusiasts

Key performance enhancements include AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes, which allow you to fine-tune the vehicle’s dynamics based on your preference, whether you’re daily commuting or pushing limits on the track. The AMG® RIDE CONTROL sport suspension features adaptive damping adjustments for supreme handling, while active roll stabilization minimizes body roll at high speeds.

Simply put, whether you’re navigating a tight urban corner or testing open-road performance, the GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE ensures you stay in control with unmatched precision.
