About the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X254
The X254-generation GLC 43 marks a significant shift for AMG, replacing the previous V6 with the M139l 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. It features a world-first series-production electric exhaust-gas turbocharger, technology derived directly from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team to virtually eliminate turbo lag. Standard equipment includes rear-axle steering and AMG Ride Control suspension with adaptive damping, significantly sharpening the handling over the standard GLC. While it loses the V6 soundtrack, it gains superior agility and a more sophisticated MBUX-driven interior.
