GLC43 to GLC63 Pricing Differences...

Willing to make bets on final pricing?

I put together a spreadsheet to estimate costs and I came up with the following results:

SUV Pricing Differences:

Base to Full AMG
GLA 250 to GLA 45 - 143% difference
GLS 550 to GLS 63 - 132% difference
CLA 250 to CLA 45 - 145% difference
CLS 550 to CLS 63 - 141% difference
S550 4matic to S63 - 145% difference

43 AMG to 63 AMG
GLE43W4 to GLE63W4 - 151% DIFFERENCE!!!!
GLE43C4 to GLE63C4 - 159% DIFFERENCE!!!!
C43W4 to C63W4 - 125% difference
C43C4 to C63C5 - 121% difference



Hoping the price difference from GLC 43 to GLC 63 will be closer to 123% or a base MSRP of 68,900. Range from 67,500 to 69,000?

---EDIT FOR ANOTHER POINT OF REFERENCE. GLC63 pricing is up on the mercedes.de site and shows a 133% difference between 43 and 63.(includes VAT of 19%)... converting base price without VAT using today's exchange rate and taking into account US to Euro pricing (roughly 90% of euro pricing), looks to be around 67500 base.


Some other points of reference -

C class coupe 4matic to C43 coupe 4matic - 123% difference
GLC300 4matic with premium/air body control/sport pack (aka base equipment to GLC43) - 115% difference (add 10% for the engine brings you to around 125%)

As an aside... why is the GLE43 to GLE63 difference so substantial? Huge margins? Tons more standard equipment???

Maybe we can figure out what the US GLC63 price is based on the European price differences?

EDIT: Never mind just saw your edit over the original post when I refreshed. $67,500 seems about right and not quite so bad actually, though that's obviously before options.

I wonder when the MBUSA configurator goes live...

Wait until the information on the GLC63 is released. However there is a lot of difference in standard equipment and in interior trims (e.g. nappa leather vs Mbtex)

I have one on order and am making financial arrangements, ballpark figures help on planning.

According to the DOG for the GLC63, Nappa Leather is an option in the US, with Artico/MBtex with Dinamica inserts as standard.

The only additional non-powertrain equipment included with the GLC63 vs 43 are:

Non-adaptive LED lights
Burmester stereo
