Most performance SUVs ask you to choose: the car you want on a Sunday, or the car you need on a Tuesday. The Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 4MATIC+ declines the question.

Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder, hand-built philosophy, twin-charged, 330kW. Around it is a five-seat SUV with a boot, a Burmester system and a cabin that makes the drive home from Queen Street feel like an event. It’s the rare car that behaves impeccably in traffic and then, on the right stretch of road, reminds you exactly who built it.
