The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Carbon Edition brings carbon fiber detailing and AMG performance tuning to one of AMG’s most popular models.
It builds on the standard GLC 43 with targeted updates that sharpen handling and add a more purposeful style.
The focus is on control and balance rather than headline power.
Each adjustment contributes to a more connected experience behind the wheel.

Sharper moves for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Carbon Edition gains the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package.
It introduces dynamic engine mounts and a RACE drive mode designed for more immediate throttle and chassis response.
Both the SUV and Coupé versions share this configuration.
The intent is to create a version that feels more composed at speed without losing comfort in daily use.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system.
It produces 310kW and 500Nm, reaching 60mph (100km/h) in 4.5 seconds. The AMG nine-speed automatic gearbox and rear-axle steering system work together to improve cornering precision and low-speed agility.
This combination keeps the GLC 43 Carbon Edition responsive and predictable across different driving conditions.
Inside, carbon fiber dominates the design. The AMG Performance steering wheel features carbon-fiber inserts and microfiber grips that provide a solid feel.
The same carbon-fiber trim extends across the dashboard and centre console, matched with red seat belts and microfiber performance seats.
The interior changes are practical and restrained, with an emphasis on driver comfort and visibility.
Outside, the Carbon Edition adds the AMG Night Package II, which gives the grille and exterior trim a darker finish.
The 21-inch AMG Y-spoke wheels are finished in matt black with polished rims, and red AMG brake callipers sit behind them.
The overall effect is cohesive and simple, giving the car a stronger stance without unnecessary styling flourishes.
Carbon Edition continues AMG performance focus
The Carbon Edition includes standard features such as the Burmester surround sound system, MBUX infotainment with wireless smartphone connectivity, and a panoramic roof.
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT allows the driver to choose between multiple modes that adjust steering, suspension, and drivetrain behaviour.
Safety systems include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and blind spot monitoring.
Pricing begins at $133,100 (MRLP) for the SUV and $145,800 for the Coupé, excluding on-road costs. Orders open from November 6, 2025.
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Carbon Edition takes small but deliberate steps forward.
Its carbon fiber detailing, updated AMG performance hardware, and cleaner design give it a more grounded identity.
The result is a version that feels considered, functional, and ready to be driven hard without drawing attention to itself.
