The New Mercedes-AMG GLC 53

19 August, 2026

Introducing the New Mercedes-AMG GLC 53.

Refined in Form. Unapologetic in Performance.

The new Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 4MATIC+ SUV and Coupé are now available to order in New Zealand, bringing six-cylinder power back to the performance-focused GLC range alongside enhanced standard specification and the latest AMG technology.

Six-Cylinder Power Returns

At the heart of the new GLC 53 is a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine producing an impressive 330 kW, paired with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive. AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension and rear-axle steering are also standard, while AMG DYNAMIC SELECT allows drivers to tailor the vehicle’s character through a range of driving modes.

Adding to the experience is AMG Real Performance Sound, combining the six-cylinder engine with a dedicated AMG exhaust system to deliver the marque’s distinctive soundtrack.

GLC 53 SUV: Performance Meets Everyday Practicality

*Overseas model shown.

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 SUV combines its AMG engineering with the space and versatility of an SUV, while 21-inch AMG forged wheels, Night Package and Night Package II give the exterior a distinctly sporting character.

Inside, standard features include leather sports seats, a panoramic sliding sunroof, Head-up display, heated memory front seats and Burmester® 3D surround sound.

GLC 53 Coupé: A Sportier Silhouette

*Overseas model shown.

The GLC 53 Coupé takes the same six-cylinder powertrain and AMG chassis technology and wraps it in a sleeker, more sporting design. Its fastback roofline, sculpted rear profile and AMG tailgate spoiler distinguish it from the SUV, offering a distinctly sportier take on the GLC 53.

Both models also feature DIGITAL LIGHT, metallic paint and heat-insulating dark-tinted glass as standard.

Available to Order Now

The new Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 4MATIC+ SUV and Coupé are available to order and uniquely configure now, with the first New Zealand arrivals expected later this year.
