If we’ve said it once, we’ve probably said it a thousand times: crossovers are the wave of the immediate future in the auto industry. It used to be that people in Lakeland, FL who wanted efficiency and maneuverability and sportiness would purchase a car here at Fields Motorcars, while those who needed utility, storage space and all-terrain capabilities would opt for a pickup truck. Meanwhile, drivers with families had little choice but to roll with minivans.
That obviously all has changed, as Mercedes-Benz has proven with the release of the Mercedes-AMG® GLC 43, the brand’s first ever compact performance crossover that further diversifies the new Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup.
The engine under the hood of this powerful little crossover is a three-liter biturbo V6 capable of producing an impressive 384 lb-ft of torque and jumping from zero-to-60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Those aren’t the sorts of numbers one typically sees in a model this shape and size, yet here we are, with one of the most respected performance brands in the world manufacturing a CUV that’s good even for adrenaline junkies.
Of course, the high-quality materials and comfortable, technologically-advanced features make the interior just as lovely and lavish as the exterior, but that’s something our customers have come to expect regardless of model. There are so many optional packages available that we can find a way to include just about any feature and make the vehicle work for people with a number of different budgets.
If you’d like to check one out for yourself, come pay us a visit here at Fields Motorcars any time and we’ll be happy to show you just what the new Mercedes-AMG® GLC 43 can do. It isn’t likely to be a test drive that you’ll soon forget.
