The GLC 220d Coupe is the entry point to the range, sitting below the 250 and 250d, and wears a sticker price of $77,100.
Expect a 2.1-litre diesel donk good for 125kW and 400Nm, enough to push the 220d to 100km/h in a somewhat leisurely 8.3 seconds while sipping a claimed/combined 5.8 litres per hundred kilometres. It's paired with a nine-speed torque converter automatic gearbox and sends its power to all four wheels.
You'll want for little, too, with even the entry-level modding scoring the AMG Line Pack as standard, which adds 20-inch alloys, body skirting and a sportier interior. On the road, you'll get adaptive dampers as standard kit, and a five-step adjustable drive mode program that allows you to dial up the sportiness at will.
Inside, you'll find a nav-equipped seven-inch touchscreen, a five-speaker stereo and privacy glass at the rear.
On the safety front, expect nine airbags, AEB and a self-parking mode as standard, along with a 360-degree reversing camera.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold.
But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul.
And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard.
When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House.
But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others.
More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
