Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the refreshed GLC Coupe, which has undergone a similar update to its wagon-bodied sibling ahead of its Australian arrival in the fourth quarter of this year. Design-wise there's not any dramatic changes, though the headlights, tail-lights and bumpers have all been revised, as has the front grille. All the changes are in keeping with the design language of the facelifted wagon, bringing the mid-sized crossovers in line with the new GLE.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC63 Coupe has been spied undergoing cold weather testing in Europe. As if there was any doubt that Mercedes-Benz was planning to drop AMG's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 into the GLC Coupe, these photos should put those thoughts to bed. Today's prototype follows on from spy photos taken in May of the AMG GLC63 doing a spot of public road testing.

Update: In addition to the information below, Mercedes-Benz has now confirmed the GLC Coupe is available to order now ahead of a scheduled November 'on sale' date. Australian pricing and specifications for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe have been revealed ahead of its local arrival in November.

Our spy photographers have captured the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe on the streets outside the company's development headquarters. Compared to the concept car, which debuted at the Shanghai auto show in April of this year, the prototype seen here features larger headlights, a two-bar grille, smaller alloy wheels, higher profile tyres, and smaller lower air intakes. The production car has also ditched the concept's fancy wing mirrors, flush pop-out door handles and frameless side windows.
