The Marque of Magic

The incredibly agile Mercedes AMG GLC 43 is made in India, for India.

There’s something exquisite about German engineering—a consistency of excellence that has made Mercedes cars so desirable. And now, brimming with the knowledge that India is assembling a Mercedes AMG, our cup runneth over. But this is only the beginning of many good things to come. The car in question is an SUV, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43. It’s only fitting that Mercedes begins their assembly journey in India with an SUV. After all, India can never have enough SUVs.

The design of the GLC 43 is reminiscent of the GLC design theme. There are a few noticeable uplifts, especially with the cooler headlight design, reworked front, and rear bumpers, and a pair of round tailpipes sitting prominently on both sides. Perched atop 20-inch AMG alloy wheels and ample silver trims all over the grille, it balances out the muscle and suave beautifully. Being a coupe, the GLC 43 fits into your garage without breaking down any walls.
