Used Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe for sale: everything you need to know

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is a premium and practical family car that comes with lots of luxury and also boasts impressive handling.

It’s a good alternative to the larger Mercedes GLC SUV model, which is perhaps a better option for anyone with a sizeable family to move around. Conversely, the slimline looks of the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe make it a good bet for anyone who wants plenty of comfort and a stylish experience, without the need for quite as much space.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is also a smaller alternative to the GLE Coupe, which is bulkier and also makes a good option if you’re left feeling uninspired by the likes of the BMW X4.

Mercedes-Benz has also done it’s best to make the GLC Coupe fun to drive, with a sporty feel being delivered both from the engine choices as well as the stiffer suspension setup.

Depending on the model and options on your used example, the trim levels are generally impressive too, with a solid selection of features and functions appearing in most cars.

If you’re looking for an affordable used buy, there’s a huge amount of choice. Take a look at a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe for sale on heycar to discover just what’s on offer. 

Should you buy a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe?

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is an ideal option if you’re left feeling less than enamoured by the many SUVs that are out there on the used market right now.

You get plenty of positives, but with a sleekier, low-slung body style that will appeal to anyone who’s not taken by the likes of the rival BMW X4.

There are some compromises, however, with the lower body style meaning that room in the back isn’t as good, even though the many variants of this car means that you’ll usually get a trim specification that easily makes up for that.

What’s the best used Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe model to buy?

The Mercedes GLC Coupe shares engines and trim options with the GLC SUV. This means a somewhat overwhelming range to choose from, but there should be a model to suit all needs. 

For pre-2019 facelift models, AMG Line offers a decent blend of value and features such as 19-inch wheels and AMG body styling. After the facelift, AMG Line Premium added an impressive digital dashboard, Apple CarPlay connectivity and an upgraded sound system.

If you regularly travel long distances, the GLC 300d diesel will offer pace and economy. Should you stick to the suburbs, a petrol GLC 300 will be rewarding to drive and not too costly to run. 

Finding a GLC Coupe with the desirable Air Body Control air suspension is worthwhile. This reduces the otherwise firm-ish ride, and still maintains decent handling in line with the car’s sporty image.

How much is it to insure a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe?

The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe is a premium car, so expect premiums to be higher than many lowlier models. You might be able to take the edge of this by heading for something like the GLC 220d diesel. That sits in group 29 out of 50, with this being the same regardless of trim level.
