2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé - new spy shots - Autocar

Testing of the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé is well under way ahead of the BMW X4 rival's expected launch in 2016. Sporting a similar design to the bigger GLE Coupé , a GLC Coupé test mule was snapped while out with the standard GLC. A concept version of the GLC Coupé was unveiled at the Shanghai motor show earlier this year, and Mercedes seems to have stuck closely to the concept's bold design for the production version. No official measurements for the production version are available, but at 4727mm long, 2000mm wide and 1593mm tall, the GLC Coupé concept was 57mm longer, 120mm wider and 28mm lower than the X4. It also rode on a wheelbase that was 17mm longer... Power for the concept came from a twin-turbocharged 3. 0-litre V6 petrol engine, one of a number of units that will be made available in the GLC and GLC Coupé, according to senior Mercedes sources. This particular engine is set to power a GLC450 Coupé AMG model, in line with moves made with the larger GLE450 Coupé Sport shown earlier this. Source: www.autocar.co.uk
