2020 GLC 43! New Teeth & New Bite!!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
FINALLY the GLC 43! So far on RBR we have tested the GLC63S in both pre facelift and updated versions, and found the facelift to be better in every area other than sound. Not to mention that crazy loud car in Abu Dhabi! We also tried this car’s elder sibling the GLE53 and fell in love with how much AMG DNA exists within it. But never tried the previous GLC 43!
So today let us take a look at the facelift GLC 43 coupe and see what’s changed!
Firstly: What is a 43 car? They exist in the same entry level family as the 35 and 53 AMG cars, but for the mid size C Class family. That means this car has the V6 Bi Turbo engine as seen in C43. But in the facelift this has been upped to 390BHP an increase of 23HP, with the 520nm, and a 4.9 0-60 - all thanks to software updates mainly!
It is of course all wheel drive too: using the 4MATIC system which is mildly rear-biased split of 31 to 69 percent. Though, not the 100% variable 4Matic + you’d find in both the GLC63S and GLE53!
The looks have taken a big upgrade on the front, with a whole new Facia for the GLC. Gone is the smiley face of old, replaced with the angry one started by the GT family, compare to the previous 43, and there’s a big visual update and we will explore all these changes today too! In the UK we get three different ordering options, which we will also explore.
So a certain injection of more AMG flavour into this facelift, but will it prove itself worthy of the AMG badge?! Today we explore:
- The Old GLC 43
- AMG V6 Bi turbo
- Performance updates
- Design updates vs Old GLC 43
- UK Versions - Basic, Premium, Premium Plus
- Interior Highlights and Voice Control
- AMG Digital driver zone
- AMG Emotion Start - the loud start! Exhaust and revs
- Full Road review
- Conclusion
Up next on on RBR is a discussion on the NEXT Mercedes SL!! Subscribe to support us and see it first. :)

the editing on this video is actually something else it's incredible
It’s nice to see the 43s getting some love. I also love the dual nature of the V6 - put it in Eco mode with Exhaust off when you want to go for a quiet, relaxing drive, or flip it into Sport+ when you want to eat Mustangs, lol.
5 months to go and it will be mine, so damn excited and finally a good review. For me it’s the perfect balance between price and power and luxury.

We has the first gle43 which was then called gle 450amg but then they renamed the 450amg to 43 amg and i think it was horrible. Way to short gearing and it just felt artificial as fuck. But since then i have no experience with newer 6 cyl amgs. Bet the 53 is nice

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou been waiting for this review NOW i can finally order mine!!
Just bought mine last month.. (was quite nervous as it is my 1st ever AMG) I went for fully optioned including the performance seats. And I’m loving it.. love the sounds of cold starts ..
Nice review, Bro! I like how you compare the changes before/after the face lift!
BEST VIDEOS EVER when it comes to AMG
I wanted to go to sleep, but then this video happened... Good bye dear sleep :D In all seriousness , super review as always!
Your videos are awesome, the editing you do is admirable as well. The reviews remind me of the time when I used to commute in Merc SL55 AMG, at the moment I haven't got any car just a 125CC Motorbike. Stay safe.

Thanks for great video, I picked my AMG GLC 43 on the 1st March..After owning an AMG A45 I was worried about sound, engine power and overall ride. I am not disappointed and is a wonderful car and is still a boy racer muncher. I was pleased to have a premium plus with performance exhaust, which sounds awesome, and sounds more superior than the AMG A45. The 21 inch rims makes the car look awesome and would highly recommend the premium plus package, it is worth every penny thanks,
Great Reviews and Videos!!
Wow what a car. We are geting ours in a week. Cant wait!!!!

Christopher Lembra lmao this is a historic Mercedes grill. They copied it from their own past because they came up with it bythemselves 70 years ago and definitely not from bmw. Just look at that mercedes from the 1950s: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:MHV_MB_W198_300_Panamericana.jpg it has the panamericana grill which Mercedes uses again today. Its a piece of their heritage and history
Looks amazing!
Thanks for your video the 2022s AMG’s are still on back order. I see some people are commenting that they prefer the GLC 53 AMG over the GLC43 AMG but once you consider the price it’s comparison is similar
Love your reviews and it’s because of your C43 review that I ended up buying a C43 coupe (with spec to match the one in your review!) 🙌🏻 I’ve learned something new about the AMG emotion start and I can’t wait to give it a go 😈

Very good review. subscribed Just need to decide between the following three GLC 43.....BMW X4 M40i or the GLA45 S .
Had I been planning on buying one, this is the video I would have seen for deciding..
How does it compare to the C43 coupe driving wise? Is there a huge difference for example going into corners? I have driven the c43 for a year and I am thinking about getting a glc43 coupe now. Thanks a lot for the awesome content!

You nailed the front end by stating it looks "softer" and those eyelash head-lights don't help muscle-it up much either. Pop's n bangs are bonkers for sure and regarding body-roll/understeer throw a lowering module on it ($500 bucks) and the car is transformed and more toss-able . Car is perfectly balanced for daily and some fun. 63 was simply too much car for our application. Don't regret my 18 SUV purchase at all.

12:14: According to the MB Canada website, the standard AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive (2021 GLC 43) has 31:69 front/rear torque split. The GLC 63 AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive: "A specially engineered version of 4MATIC can instantly vary the torque distribution from 100% rear-wheel drive to a degree of all-wheel drive that's precisely matched to the driving conditions and driver inputs. An electromechanical coupling between the front and rear axles is controlled based on an elaborate matrix of driving mode, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and available grip to optimize handling and acceleration right up to the physical limits, on virtually any road or track surface."

Happy with the same grill on all AMGs but can't live with side running boards, they look OKish but are a pain when dirty or wet when you are getting out. Some sort of lower skirting possibly could be an option / alternative. Anyone know why Mercedes didn't put the full width dash screen for the MBUX like the GLE latest?
Can you make a video about the none coupe version?
I thought AMG said that the 23 additional HPs come from larger turbos and not software upgrades.
Can you review the rs6 !!
Can you do how many voice commands can the car perform? Most video I've seen in KZread are just asking where to go... I wanted to know if voice command can do anything else apart from asking where to go... Example: can it turn on aircon, increase air, turn on lights etc
Sounds good but X3 M40i sounds good too with more pops and bangs but less fart on shifts.
I wish you drove the cars on normal roads as well as dual carriage ways as well asssssssss country roads, we don't all have a track or a road like you do to go on, and I think most people would appriciate a review of an everyday life with these cars more than anything, I certainly will as I'm looking at buying this car, but a review of cars on normal roads will be much better in my opinion.
Can we please get a review for the new GLE63S coupè
I wish Mercedes would’ve put this engine but tuned of course in the new upcoming C63 instead of a 2.0 4 cylinder, from a damn V8 to 2.0. Madness. Now they haven’t confirmed anything yet but all these rumours & your latest video about it, means that it is most likely true. So sad. Great video though, as always.

I would have the GLE53 over this, but that 'shotgun' exhaust is a petrolhead's dream.
Why are the C and GLC the only models that don’t get the dual flat screen as the dash? Even an A250 gets small dual flat screens.
Does it have a heated steering wheel? The spec says it has run flat tyres too.
this new glc 43 vs x3 m40i which would you pick and why?
finally you re not edited them

Just add a hybrid motor to this engine for the next c63 over a 4 pot please Mercedes
i think wen can alla agree that whether we talk about c coupe sedan or glc, they all belong to the same c-product family from mercedes. But apparently the refresh on the glc was more significant than the c coupe sedan an convertible specially in terms of the amg products. To further explain, these are the things the c43 or 63 doesnt have compared to glc equivalent 1. airsuspension (which is funny cause the regular c class does) 2. mbux 3. The high end designo leather pack option which funny enough the regular c class does 4. panamericana grill with the more aggresive frond end. 5. amg steering wheel controls 6. the new headlight though thats better The question is..if someone wants a c43 and wants the aforementioned stuff could he ask to have them intalled in his car as a special order, or are there any providers that do such stuff
For a few more coins, would you get the EQC over this GLC43 Coupe?
Just got mine 2 weeks ago. Yet to go on a spirited drive. Taking it easy for the first 1000 Kms. Can’t wait to floor it in sport+. How do we make the exhaust pop and crackle like in the video ?

Whats up with Mercedes and Harman Kardon? When I ordered my AMG I saw that the Harman Kardon option was still in there, even though I ordered the Premium Plus Pack which comes with the upgraded Burmeister sound system. After asking my local Mercedes dealer they said that Mercedes and Harman Kardon had an issue with each other regarding speaker warranty.

How loud a car can be is depending on its power and the displacement. So i'm guessing since the 43 has more displacement it is allowed to be a bit louder.
