What is it?
This is the facelifted version of the fastest SUV Mercedes makes. Like all models in the GLC range, the superheated AMG 63 and 63 S have been treated to a mid-life nip and tuck, which extends to some cosmetic tweaks, upgraded infotainment and some mind-boggling driver mode additions.
Externally, the changes are subtle, with both the regular GLC and the GLC Coupé - which we're testing here - getting sleeker LED headlights, an even more prominent grille, revised tail-lights and a natty pair of trapezoidal talpipe surrounds. There are also some fresh alloy wheel designs, including an optional 21in set.
Inside, the influence of the latest A-Class is brought to bear, with the introduction of the latest MBUX infotainment and digital dial pack. There’s also Mercedes' latest steering wheel design, complete with its bewildering array of buttons and switches. Still, it looks good and feels nice in your hands.
Mechanically, the changes are small. The multi-chamber air springs and adaptive dampers are now standard on the 63 and 63 S, as is an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. Channelling power is the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G nine-speed automatic gearbox and the 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system that can send torque wherever it’s needed.

Bang for Buck?
Really is your choice, personally, I’m not a fan of the rear end, it would look better in my opinion without the spoiler, even a pop up spoiler would be better.....

Agreed, a pop up spoiler would have been so much better, it looks like an after thought, like the one they put on the back of the mk1 Audi TT (which was an after thought).

Should you buy this over a
Should you buy this over a Stelvio QV etc? No, because like the buyer of any GLC 'coupe' you will look like a dick.
Should you buy a regular GLC AMG over a Stelvio QV, yeah maybe as they both look great, drive great etc.

How can anyone be surprised - 2 ton 500bhp. car is quick?
Simple power to weight artihmetics should tell Autocar tester whether the vehicle is likely to be quick - before the said person has even entered the car and sat at the wheel. Now, however is a 2 ton car - fun? That's a very different equation. It shall have inevitable intertia hence can't really be agile, even however with grippy tires it can be effective at covering ground rapidly.
