MERCEDES GLC 43 COUPE REVIEW, CHATTING WITH RIVIAN, PORSCHE PRICE QUIZ

EV Channels Review

Jill Ciminillo reviews the 2024 AMG Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 Coupe, finding it surprisingly fun to drive despite initial skepticism about its 'coupe' styling. She highlights the potent 416 horsepower from the 2.0L turbo-four engine and praises the dynamic changes across Sport Plus mode, making it engaging on ramps and off ramps. While acknowledging the ride quality is good on smooth surfaces, she notes its suitability for city driving requires switching to Comfort mode due to road imperfections. The reviewer expresses a strong dislike for the ultrasuede on the steering wheel, finding it tactilely unpleasant. Despite the steep starting price of $70,000, escalating to $79,985 with options, she deems it a practical and fun commuter car for young professionals or empty nesters, particularly appreciating the aggressive AMG styling and interior accents, though she notes many desirable features come at an extra cost.
