In this review by TheStraightPipes, they take the 2024 Mercedes AMG GLC 43 for a spin, and boy, does it pack a punch! With 416 horsepower coming from a 2L 4-cylinder Turbo engine equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, this SUV is no slouch when it comes to performance. The team delves into the unique pumped-in electric sound that adds to the driving experience, making it feel shockingly quick. They compare it to other Mercedes models they've tested, highlighting the signature wheels and Continental sport contact seven tires that enhance both the look and grip of the vehicle.

Moving on to the exterior design, the team praises the sleek headlights, tail lights, and the distinctive panamericana grille that give the GLC 43 a bold and modern aesthetic. They also touch upon the absence of a dipstick in the engine, a quirky feature that sets this Mercedes apart. When it comes to performance, the team puts the car through its paces, testing the suspension, interior comfort, and space. They note the firm suspension and the lack of lane centering, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of the driving experience.

Delving deeper into the interior, TheStraightPipes team discusses the steering wheel feel, infotainment system, and the overall driving experience. They appreciate features like the ambient lighting, fingerprint reader, and adjustable seats that add a touch of luxury to the driving experience. Despite being a four-cylinder SUV, the Mercedes AMG GLC 43 impresses with its speed and comfort, challenging preconceived notions about performance in this segment. Overall, the team's review paints a comprehensive picture of the GLC 43, showcasing its strengths and unique characteristics in the competitive SUV market.
