It will be the first Made-In-India AMG vehicle, and the coupe SUV will roll-out of the assembly line at the company's Chakan plant, near Pune. While we had the Mercedes-AMG GLC Coupe in India until a couple of years ago, the upcoming model is the facelifted version, which was launched globally last year but never came to our shores. Earlier, the company had said that compared to a fully imported BS6 AMG GLC 43, which would have attracted a price of around Rs. 1 crore, the completely knocked down (CKD) version, will be priced close to Rs. 80 lakh (both ex-showroom).
