2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG Premium Plus Coupe

The GLC43 sits at the sharp end of the regular GLC range: a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 with 385 bhp and 521 lb-ft, driving all four wheels through Mercedes-AMG's nine-speed automatic. The page quotes 4.9 seconds to 62 mph and a limited 155 mph top speed, which keeps it in genuine hot-SUV territory without the cost and harshness of a GLC63. This is the Coupe body, with the sloping roofline and 5-door layout that goes with it.

This car is a 2023 (72-plate) example finished in Silver and has covered 24,940 miles, which is modest for its age. The Premium Plus specification adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and LED High Performance headlamps with automatic activation. It meets Euro 6 standards and is listed with a 2,460 kg towing capacity.

The GLC43 Coupe is a sensible all-weather performance choice. The 4MATIC system, a usable boot and a well-equipped cabin sit alongside enough power to make it quick on a cross-country run. At this mileage it should have plenty of life left.
