Mercedes AMG GLC 63 S E PERFORMANCE SUV

The German manufacturer Mercedes-AMG has unveiled its high-performance versions of the compact SUV – the GLC – for the international market. The GLC SUV is offered in two performance levels and trim levels – the base GLC 43 4Matic and the range-topper GLC 63 S E Performance. They are touted as the most powerful iterations of the GLC to date. Overseas, the new performance SUV gets visual upgrades, an improved interior, as well as a plug-in hybrid powertrain available on the GLC 63 S E Performance.
