2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC53 SUV Rights a Wrong by Restoring Six-Cylinder Power
The 2027 GLC 53 features a 443-hp turbocharged inline-six with 10-second 472 lb-ft overboost and an optional Drift mode in the AMG Dynamic Plus package.
- Mercedes‑AMG unveiled the 2027 GLC 53 SUV and coupe with a 3.0-liter inline-six producing 443 horsepower and 443 pound-feet via an electrically assisted turbocharger, arriving later this year.
- After AMG's shift to four‑cylinders, Mercedes‑AMG reversed course by restoring six‑cylinder power in the GLC53, discontinuing the turbo four-cylinder due to emissions regulations.
- The powertrain features a new cylinder head and intake with an electric auxiliary compressor, AMG nine‑speed automatic transmission, 48‑volt integrated starter‑generator, 4Matic+ all‑wheel drive, and AMG Dynamic Plus package with 'Drift mode'.
- In price terms, the GLC53 outclasses the GLC 300's 255 horsepower and is expected to start near $75,000 for the SUV with the coupe above $75K, against $86,750 for the GLC 63 S E Performance.
- As part of Mercedes' 140 years celebration, a Golden Accents package for 2027 offers Obsidian Black Metallic or Graphite Grey Magno with gold details and 21‑inch forged AMG cross‑spoke wheels.
