Australian details for the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 have been confirmed.

Mercedes-AMG has announced that the GLC 43 wagon will be priced at $136,400 before on-road costs or $146,900 plus on-roads for the GLC 43 Coupe.

That is a $7400 price increase over the previous V6-powered AMG GLC 43 for the wagon and $12,430 for the AMG GLC 43 Coupe – though the new model is faster and includes more standard equipment but loses two cylinders and some torque.

As detailed here, the second-generation GLC 43 – a rival for the BMW X3/X4 M40i and Audi SQ5 – switches from a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol to a mild-hybrid inline-four like its Mercedes-AMG C-Class sibling.

The ‘M139’ 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine employs a Formula 1-derived 10kW electric exhaust gas turbocharger for improved response at low revs. It sends 310kW/500Nm to all four wheels via a nine-speed multi-clutch automatic, up 23kW but down 20Nm over the previous AMG GLC 43.

A 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.8 seconds is claimed – a one-tenth improvement over the outgoing twin-turbo V6 model.

The GLC 43’s AWD system is rear-biased, with a default torque split of 31:69 per cent front to rear. It features three-mode adaptive dampers and five selectable drive modes, including a customisable ‘individual’ setup.

Above the standard GLC 300, the AMG 43 adds the features of the Plus Package as standard, along with active rear-axle steering, unique AMG trims, full-leather seats, and 20-inch multi-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 will launch in Australia from March 11 online and at AMG retailers.

Mercedes-Benz Australia has confirmed the flagship AMG GLC 63 S E-Performance – which switches from a V8 to the M139 engine and a rear-mounted synchronous electric motor for a 500kW and 1020Nm total system output – will arrive here between April and June. Prices are due to be confirmed soon.
