What's New for 2027

A key addition for 2027 is the Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 4MATIC+ Coupe. Its AMG-enhanced 3.0L turbocharged inline-six produces 443 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. An Integrated Starter-Generator and electric auxiliary compressor support the engine, while AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension, and active rear-axle steering contribute to its driving characteristics.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 Coupe also offers the Golden Accents Package, available exclusively for model year 2027. The package combines Obsidian Black Metallic or available Graphite Grey Magno exterior paint with Techgold graphics and detailing, 21-inch AMG forged wheels with gold accents, and coordinated interior finishes. The package is offered on the AMG GLC 53 Coupe; it is not listed as an option for the GLC 300 4MATIC Coupe.

Both GLC Coupe models offer third-generation MBUX with natural-language voice control and personalized user profiles. An in-dash fingerprint reader can call up saved preferences, while available DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps can project supported alerts onto the road ahead. These features are part of the GLC Coupe’s technology offering but should not be described as first introduced for the 2027 model year.

GUARD 360° vehicle protection can monitor certain events affecting the parked vehicle and provide supported alerts and camera images through the Mercedes-Benz app. Its functionality depends on vehicle equipment, an active applicable service subscription, connectivity, and operating conditions. It cannot guarantee protection against theft, vandalism, or damage.

Technology and Infotainment

The 2027 GLC Coupe uses third-generation MBUX, or Mercedes-Benz User Experience. The system combines a central touchscreen, digital instrument display, and voice control activated by the “Hey Mercedes” phrase.

Natural-language voice control allows occupants to make supported requests using conversational language. Available functions depend on vehicle equipment, software, connectivity, and applicable Mercedes-Benz Digital Extras.

Available MBUX features include MBUX Entertainment Package Plus and MBUX Augmented Video for Navigation. Augmented Video can place navigation guidance over a live camera image of the road ahead on the central display.

Transparent Hood uses exterior camera images to create a virtual view of the area immediately in front of and beneath the vehicle during supported low-speed operation in specific drive modes. It is a visibility aid, not a substitute for checking the vehicle’s surroundings.

Available DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps use high-resolution lighting technology and can project supported alerts or guidance symbols onto the road surface under appropriate conditions.

The Mercedes-Benz app provides access to compatible remote vehicle functions. With the required vehicle equipment, subscription, and connectivity, GUARD 360° can provide supported notifications and images associated with certain events while the vehicle is parked. Feature availability and operation vary by configuration and service status.

LED exterior lighting is standard across the GLC Coupe lineup.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe offers a range of standard and available occupant-protection, parking, and driver-assistance technologies.

Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning can alert occupants to certain approaching road users when a door is about to be opened. PRE-SAFE® can initiate selected occupant-protection measures when the vehicle detects certain potential collision conditions. A front-center airbag is designed to provide additional protection between the driver and front passenger in specified impacts.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) can apply braking at individual wheels to help the driver maintain directional control in certain situations. These systems assist the driver but cannot prevent every collision or overcome the limits of available traction.

The GLC Coupe also offers DISTRONIC® adaptive cruise control, Surround View camera functionality, parking assistance, and GUARD 360° vehicle protection. Standard and available equipment should be confirmed for the specific model and vehicle configuration.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 Coupe also offers an AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package with additional performance-related equipment and functions.

Driver-assistance systems require continuous driver attention and do not replace safe driving, awareness of surrounding traffic, or adherence to road conditions.
