AMG C-Class vs GLC Coupe FAQ
Which one is locally assembled?
The AMG C-Class is assembled in Malaysia (CKD), while the GLC Coupe is fully imported (CBU) from Germany. Local assembly generally helps pricing and spare-parts supply, and CKD programmes usually signal a longer-term commitment to the model here.
