KUALA LUMPUR: The new locally assembled Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4Matic Coupé Nightfall Edition brings together powerful design elements with darkened exterior detailing and an elevated driving experience.
It is the second Nightfall Edition following the successful debut of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Nightfall Edition.
It is priced at RM518,888 (Peninsular Malaysia, on-the-road, without insurance) and available from RM6,688 per month with Agility+ by Mercedes-Benz.
"This latest addition allows us to respond to those needs with greater precision, bringing together dynamic design, enhanced specification, and the performance character of AMG in an even sportier form,” said Mercedes-Benz Cars Malaysia CEO and president Martin Schulz.
Schulz is also head of region at Mercedes-Benz Cars Southeast Asia.
“From the exclusive AMG Night Package Exterior II to AMG Real Performance Sound, every detail is designed to enrich engagement behind the wheel and deliver a distinctive ownership experience for customers who value both individuality and performance,” said Mercedes-Benz Cars Malaysia vice president of marketing and sales Nadia Trimmel.
The new AMG GLC Coupé Nightfall Edition further builds on the AMG Exterior Night Package with the AMG Night Package Exterior II.
Dark Chrome detailing extends across key exterior elements, including the slats of the radiator trim, model designation on the fenders and rear, as well as the rear star.
A defining detail is the AMG fuel filler cap in silver chrome, finished with “AMG” lettering and black accents.
Another key highlight is the AMG Real Performance Sound which delivers an intense sound experience.
At the touch of a button or via the touchscreen, drivers can tailor how the turbo engine should sound.
The new AMG GLC Coupé Nightfall Edition is powered by the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which boasts 310kW (421hp) at 6,750rpm and torque of 500Nm at 5,000rpm, offering an additional 10kW (14hp) boost from the belt-driven starter generator (RSG) when needed.
This second-generation RSG acts as a mild hybrid, enabling coasting and energy recuperation functions.
Its 48-volt technology also enhances comfort by ensuring near-seamless transitions between start-stop and coasting.
The AMG GLC Coupé Nightfall Edition accelerates from 0 to 100kph in just 4.5 seconds, with a top speed electronically capped at 250kph.
Further elevating driving dynamics is rear-axle steering of up to 2.5 degrees, which improves agility, stability, and manoeuvrability.
The confident appearance is reinforced by a wide track and 21-inch AMG Y-spoke light-alloy wheels, paired with silver-painted brake callipers.
Digital Light headlamps continuously adapting illumination to traffic and road conditions for improved visibility.
Inside, the cabin features the familiar AMG sport seats in Artico man-made leather upholstery, AMG carbon-fibre trim element, and AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather.
The MBUX infotainment system includes AMG-specific displays and functions, complemented by the Burmester 3D surround sound system.
