The changes to the exterior of the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe aren’t drastic, but the overall impression is of a more modern design that works well. Upfront, the main differences are that the headlights are sleeker and now join to the Panamericana grille at the top corner. The aggressive intakes in the lower fascia are still present, and vertical fins identify this as an AMG variant.
The wheel arches house wheels in 19-, 20-, or 21-inch sizes, and the trim is finished in the same paint as the rest of the bodywork. Speaking of paint, we’re not 100% sure what exterior colors to expect for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe, but the usual suspects would likely be present in the form of Cirrus Silver, Obsidian Black, and Lunar Blue, with Manufkatur options like Cardinal Red and Diamond White probably carrying over, too.
At the rear, there’s more differentiation between the new Merc-AMG GLC 43 Coupe SUV and the preceding generation, with sleeker taillight clusters that are connected across the trunk width by a dark strip. The rear spoiler is still in place, but the lower rear fascia has been restyled entirely, leaving the number plate positioned lower than before above the faux diffuser. Dual round tailpipes are present at each corner.
Further customization is available through the AMG Night Package, Night Package Plus, Exterior Carbon Fiber Package, and the AMG Performance Studio Package, which is specific to the GLC 43 Coupe. This adds a high-gloss black front splitter with flics along the sides and a proper diffuser board at the back end.
