2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 Returns With Inline-Six Power
The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 returns with inline-six power, bringing back the six-cylinder engine to the lineup after some years with smaller ones. It’s a 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six making 443 horsepower and torque, with overboost up to 472 lb-ft briefly. Paired to a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, it hits 0-60 in about 4.1 seconds with the right package. Standard adaptive suspension and rear-axle steering make it handle sharper. There’s a Drift mode option for rear-drive fun. It’s coming later this year, SUV and Coupe versions.
