Our quick take

Alternatives to consider

Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe - 3.5 / 5

An SUV, without the dull bits?

Design – a visual paradox

AMG Line Mercedes, like any other

Interior – compromised and cool

Playing the specification game

Refined, but not fun to drive

To recap

Take one useful, sensible premium SUV, chop the roofline down to make it look sportier, then borrow some coupe rear lights, delete a rear seat, et voila, you’ve an SUV-coupe. There’s plenty to like about the Mercedes GLC Coupe, but it’s not that much fun to drive and costs £3000 more than the more useful, identical to drive GLC SUV. We’d buy that — or a Porsche Macan — instead if we wanted something sporty but high-riding.
