Mercedes-Benz recently updated the 43 AMG models in the GLC and GLC Coupé model ranges. 

These two will serve as the entry-level models into AMG ownership, but that doesn’t mean their tame.

The 3.0-litre biturbo V6 engine’s power has been upped to 287kW, while the 9-speed automatic transmission has been made slightly more responsive.

The rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and the AMG DYNAMICS agility control system has also been enhanced to deliver a more engaging driving experience.

The latest version of the MBUX infotainment system, with AMG-specific functions and displays, introduces an innovative control concept that adds to the vehicle’s feasibility for everyday use.

There’s no word on when this particular model will arrive in SA.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
