Compact Luxury: Mercedes-AMG GLC43 and GLC63
The 2020 GLC43 and GLC63 are high-performance variants of the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class, and they spice up that model's Germanic luxury with an extra dash of driving excitement. Both crossovers seat five, and their cabins are roomy enough to provide spacious accommodations in both rows. The GLC43 and GLC63 impress with an exterior design that's sculpted and modern, and they deliver handling that's both refined and athletic. Zero to 60 mph is quick, and the experience is sweetened with a mellifluous engine note. A bevy of drive modes allows you to customize the action. If you're in the market for a compact luxury crossover with memorable style and performance, the GLC43 and GLC63 earn our recommendation.

The 2020 GLC43 SUV and coupe models inherit the same freshened headlight and taillight designs and infotainment upgrades as their GLC300 and GLC63 counterparts, plus a few 43-specific extras including more horsepower and a new grille with grinning vertical strakes in place of last year's tamer horizontal slats.

Whereas the GLC300 received an all-new engine, the GLC43 carries on with the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 it used before.

AMG swapped the turbos for larger units and mounted them closer to the engine. Besides adding 23 horsepower, bringing the GLC43's total to 385 ponies, the new forced-induction arrangement should reduce lag between the driver stepping on the gas and the turbos spooling up and boosting power.

Speaking of buttons, there is a rash of new ones on the steering wheel and center console for interacting with the GLC43's latest MBUX infotainment system.

A 10.25-inch touchscreen replaces last year's smaller, non-touch, click-knob-controlled display, and can also be manipulated via a touchpad on the console, a touch-sensitive pad on the steering wheel, and voice controls.

We have yet to drive the new GLC43 SUV and coupe, but we predict a few things will remain the same: First, that the 43s will represent the ideal, just-right option in the GLC range (more powerful and fun to drive than the GLC300s but not goofy expensive like the 63s); and second, that the hunchbacked coupe version is an acquired taste, no matter which engine or badge it has.

Pricing begins at $60,495 for the GLC43 SUV and $63,995 for the GLC43 coupe, and both go on sale before the end of 2019.
