MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 63 (S) AMG
Under the vehicle naming scheme maintained by Mercedes-Benz, SUVs use the base name "GL", followed by the model's placement in Mercedes-Benz hierarchy. The "G" is for Geländewagen (German for off-road vehicle) and alludes to the long-running G-Wagen. This is followed by the letter "L" that acts as a linkage with the letter "C"—the GLC being the SUV equivalent to the C-Class.
This is a family SUV with launch control, that can get you from 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds if you go for the GLC 63 S, and has to be limited to 174mph. If you need a car – any car – to be faster than that, you’re braver than us. Or you know the local constabulary chief on first name terms.
The 4.0-litre V8 with 350 kW (476 PS) and an impressive torque of 650 Nm has terrific initial response and it revs out gamely. Turbo lag is non-existent. The noise is spectacular – this is probably the best-sounding European V8 currently in production, and it’s all the more hilarious when emanating from the rear of a GLC. The nine-speed gearbox does its best to keep up but its redline upshifts hang back just a tad. It’s pretty good, but not utterly seamless. Downchanges are crisp mind you, with a perfect blip as the paddle is pulled.
