The new GLC Coupe, similar to the standard GLC and the previous GLC Coupe, will be available in 2.0-litre turbo-diesel 220d and 300d. These engines are equipped with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and an integrated starter generator for the second generation, which allows for hybrid-specific functions like coasting, boosting, and energy recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All powertrains are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and a 4Matic all-wheel-drive program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the company has added an off-road mode with downhill speed regulation and a new off-road screen that offers a \u201ctransparent bonnet\u201d feature, using the 360-degree camera system to enable the driver to see what\u2019s going on in front of the coupe\u2019s nose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo enhance its dust-busting abilities, buyers have the option of fitting rear-axle steering (up to 4.5 degrees) for added agility, Airmatic air suspension, and the trailer manoeuvring assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a length of 4,763 mm, it is 31 mm longer and 5 mm higher than its predecessor. The track widths are larger, by 6 mm at the front (now 1,627 mm) and 23 mm at the rear (now 1,640 mm). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The longer vehicle length benefits the wheelbase and the front and rear overhangs. The width has remained the same at 1,890 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The engineering package (optional) with AIRMATIC air suspension including level control and rear-axle steering also brings its comfort advantages to bear when off-road, where it offers additional benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, AIRMATIC allows a high ground clearance off-road, regardless of the load, and long suspension travel for the best possible traction. The rear-axle steering increases off-road manoeuvrability even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
