It’s not very often you call a raging AMG SUV-coupe such as the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe one of the more momentous cars to have launched in India in the past year. But this one comes close, it’s the first-ever AMG model to be assembled in India. Now, this might not mean much to most regular car buyers, but as a marker to the growth of the Indian auto industry, and its swift post-COVID recovery, there aren’t too many better examples out there. As for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe itself, it promises to offer a seemingly no-compromise recipe of tasty AMG thrills in a more approachable package, until the Mercedes-AMG A 35 sedan arrives at least. Like the standard GLC and the GLC 300d Coupe introduced earlier this year, this too has been treated to a fairly significant mid-life update.
Styling
When we drove the standard, diesel GLC Coupe, we weren’t totally convinced by its take on how an SUV-coupe should look like, the general debate over this body style aside. This AMG-fettled version largely corrects that. See it alongside the older car, and the new GLC 43 seems to do a far better job of capturing the essence of what an AMG should look like.
