Exclusive: The New Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Edition R – Performance and Style at a Better Price

2025-04-10

Mercedes-Benz is bringing something special to the Australian market with the launch of the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Edition R – a special edition that blends cutting-edge performance with eye-catching design, all at a price that’s more affordable than the regular GLC 43 models.

What Makes the Edition R Stand Out?

The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Edition R isn’t just another trim package; it’s a vehicle that brings real enhancements to the table, both under the hood and in terms of aesthetics. Available in two variants – the regular SUV and the coupe SUV – the Edition R offers greater performance for thousands less than the standard GLC 43.

Here are the key pricing details:

GLC 43 Edition R SUV: $128,900 (before on-road costs)
GLC 43 Edition R Coupe SUV: $141,600 (before on-road costs)

When compared to the regular GLC 43, priced at $137,533 for the SUV and $148,134 for the Coupe, the Edition R provides significant value with additional features that enhance both its performance and appearance.

Performance Tweaks for an Enhanced Drive

Performance is at the heart of the Edition R. It’s not just about looks – this model delivers more direct engine response and a sportier feel, thanks to the addition of the Race drive mode. This mode provides sharper throttle response and a more dynamic driving experience. Coupled with dynamic engine mounts, the Edition R also offers a tailored suspension experience, ensuring softer suspension in Comfort mode and firmer setups in the more aggressive Sport, Sport+, and Race modes.

Under the bonnet, the powertrain remains unchanged from the regular GLC 43. The Edition R is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, producing 310kW of power and 500Nm of torque. This setup allows the Edition R to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds – a true performance powerhouse.

Aesthetic Enhancements: Night Package II and More

The Edition R takes aesthetics to the next level with exclusive styling features. The inclusion of Mercedes-AMG’s Night Package II brings a striking look, with darkened grille elements and dark chrome badging. 21-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in matte black, combined with red brake calipers, give the vehicle an aggressive and sporty stance.

Inside, the Edition R continues the performance theme with the Performance Seat Package Advanced. This includes seats upholstered in Artico leatherette and Microcut microfibre, finished in black with bold red stitching and complemented by red seatbelts. The cabin is further enhanced with distinctive metal structure trim, exclusive to the Edition R models in Australia.

The driver also enjoys a Microcut and Nappa leather-wrapped steering wheel, ensuring both comfort and control.

Standard Features for the Ultimate Comfort

As expected from a Mercedes-AMG model, the Edition R comes loaded with advanced tech and comfort features, including:

Panoramic sunroof
Burmester 3D surround sound system
11.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Wireless phone charger
Satellite navigation
Head-up display
Surround-view camera
Dual-zone climate control
Heated, power-adjustable seats with memory
Ambient lighting

These features ensure that the Edition R doesn’t just perform well on the road, but also provides a luxurious and high-tech driving experience.

Exterior Finishes: Choose Your Style

The Edition R offers a range of stunning exterior finishes, including:

Polar White
Verde Silver metallic
Graphite Grey metallic
High-Tech Silver metallic
Obsidian Black metallic
Spectral Blue metallic

For those who want even more personalization, there are additional finishes available at an extra cost:
