Video | The new AMG GLC 53 is faster than Mercedes claims!

While out in Hamburg reviewing the brand-new, all-electric AMG GT 4-Door Rory ALSO got the chance to review the subject of this video – the new AMG GLC 53 Coupe. In just two hours with the car, Rory put its performance to the test covering ride quality, advanced chassis dynamics like rear-axle steering, a 0-62 test and an unrestricted Autobahn top-speed run to see if it lives up to (or beats) the claims.

There’s a general feeling that this latest AMG GLC answers ‘enthusiast backlash’ to Mercedes replacing its larger performance engines with four-cylinder plug-in hybrid setups. In what feels like a course correction, this new GLC 53 drops the four-cylinder for an “old-school brute” 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six engine with mild-hybrid assistance. If Rory’s reactions to the exhaust’s popping and banging are anything to go by, he definitely had fun with it.

To find out how he got on with the AMG GLC 53 watch the video, and Rory would love it if you subscribed to the Autotrader Youtube channel – there’s tonnes of content just waiting to be consumed!
