Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is the C254 compact executive SUV with a coupe-shaped body, five seats and plug-in-hybrid power. Launched in 2023, it suits buyers who want an all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz SUV in this body style rather than a conventional SUV profile. Prices start from RM425,888 in Malaysia.

GLC Coupe in 2026 — what's new

No 2026-specific update is announced, so the GLC Coupe carries into 2026 unchanged. The current Malaysian line-up remains a one-car range: the GLC350e 4Matic Coupe. It uses a 1,999 cc petrol plug-in-hybrid powertrain with AWD and an automatic transmission, producing 328 hp. The C254 arrived in 2023, with the generation’s PHEVs quoted at up to 131 km of electric range.

Verdict

The GLC Coupe’s 328 hp plug-in-hybrid drivetrain and AWD give it a clear technical identity, but it is not priced as a bargain. The BMW X4 starts RM19,088 lower and the Audi Q5 Sportback is RM3,898 cheaper, while the Lexus RZ starts RM4,000 higher. Buyers are paying for the Mercedes-Benz coupe-SUV format and its PHEV powertrain, not a low entry price.
