About the GLC 43 X253 367 PS

The 2016 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,885 kg with 362 bhp, which works out at 192 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.98 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,134th quickest to 60 mph, and the 17th quickest of the 25 Mercedes-AMGs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 104.2 mph at the lights is only the 1,384th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
