The Engine Behind the Power

At the heart of the Mercedes-AMG GLC rests the technologically advanced AMG M139l 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. A testament to innovative engineering, this engine combines breakthrough technologies, delivering high-performance and notable efficiency. Unique in the industry, this engine is turbocharged with an electric exhaust gas turbocharger, allowing for better responsiveness right from idle speed, across the entire rpm spectrum.

In the AMG GLC 43, the 2.0-litre engine generates a robust 416 hp at 6,750 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. This performance is further amplified by the belt-driven starter generator (RSG), serving as a mild hybrid system that offers an additional boost of 13 hp, along with functions like gliding and recuperation for optimal efficiency.

The Performance Hybrid Powerhouse

The AMG GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE version takes performance to another level with a total system output of 671 hp. Here, the M139l engine churns out 469 hp at 6,725 rpm and a maximum torque of 402 lb-ft between 5,2505,500 rpm. The impressive maximum torque of 752 lb-ft enabled by the performance hybrid system ensures a driving performance that is bound to exhilarate.

Revolutionary Transmission Technology

Powering bothAMG GLC models is the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9G transmission (MCT = Multi-Clutch Transmission). It uses a wet start-off clutch instead of a traditional torque converter, resulting in optimized accelerator pedal response while shedding unnecessary weight.

Advanced software enables ultra-quick shift times and rapid multiple downshifts when needed. The transmission features different drive programs including "Sport", "Sport+", "Comfort", and "Individual" modes, each offering unique driving characteristics for different driving conditions.
