The new engine has more power but less torque than the old twin-turbo V-6, and it features an F1-derived electrically assisted turbocharger.
It has a 416-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to replace the old model's V-6.Like its sedan sibling the C-class, the latest AMG performance version of the new Mercedes GLC SUV is swapping its V-6 for a four-cylinder engine. Thenow features a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four rather than the previous model's twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, but fortunately the new powerplant produces more horsepower despite its smaller displacement and fewer cylinders.
The turbo-four in the new-generation GLC43 is the same M139 engine found in many other AMG models including the, and it has 416 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque in this application. That's an increase of 31 hp but a decrease of 15 pound-feet compared with the old V-6, but Mercedes touts better responsiveness thanks to this engine's F1-inspired technology that incorporates an electrically assisted turbocharger and a 48-volt hybrid system.
Interior tweaks include a different steering wheel with aluminum shift paddles and AMG-branded pedals, door sills, display screens, and floor mats. Sports seats are optional, as is Nappa leather upholstery and a data-logger function that can record lap times and other performance metrics.We expect the 2024 AMG GLC43 to start in the mid-$60,000 range; although Mercedes hasn't released details on option packages yet, there will surely be lots of costly extras.
