Realistic cargo space in GLC vs GLC coupe

I'm trying to decide between the GLC 43, GLC 43 coupe, and GLE coupe. My wife has a regular GLE and its got ample cargo room for trips to costco, target, ect. Golf clubs are no problem even with all the seats still up.

My question is with the GLC, whats the realistic cargo space like? I routinely leave my golf clubs in the back of my cars and would still want to use the entire second row. Would golf clubs be possible in say the GLC coupe without taking a seat down?

I searched around and I couldnt find any hard numbers. While the MBUSA page indicates the exact same amount of space for both, that seems nonsensical. The coupe roofline will cut into space, but really only when you start stacking things in the trunk. Regardless of space, I think the SUV makes more sense. The SUV is cheaper, but most importantly, it doesn't have that stupid look of "I know I'm a 4,000 lb vehicle with significant height and high driving position, but I am also a sports coupe! Really, I am!" The SUV is honest with itself that it is an SUV (and a damn good looking one at that), while the coupe seems to have an identity crisis that increases price and decreases usability.

Cargo Space

I have a 2016 GLE450 Coupe, 2021 GLE53 (not coupe), 2019 GLC43 Coupe and a 2017 GLC300(not coupe) and out of all of these, the GLE53 has the most space. I don’t have a problem whatsoever with the 17’ GLC’s space or the GLE Coupe’s (besides the fact that you can’t stack as much because of the roofline) however… the GLC Coupe’s cargo space is the smallest and you could fit a golf bag or two in there for sure, but you wouldn’t have much other room to put other things. Hope this helps.

To me it would depend on if you can get the driver assistance package in one but not the other.
I have the GLC300 suv when I had some work done had a GLC300 coupe to use waiting for parts
someone dented my back hatch, looked like a delivery truck. after 10 days couldn't wait to get our glc300 suv back

We have both.
cannot see an issue with golf clubs, more an ssue with large box’s - need to position further in side with Coupe.
love the Coupe look, but reduced read view vision from inside. Air suspension a must.
take 2 x sets of clubs to Dealer for sizing.
