You won’t see many of these GLC 63 S 4MATIC SUV and Coupe on the UK roads, priced from £68k and £71k respectively, these compact luxury SUVs are treading into Range Rover territory so why would you choose these knuckleheads over a Ranger Rover proper?

At the heart of both models is a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 petrol engine, mated to an AMG Speedshift MCT nine-speed sports transmission as standard.
