GLC [Official] Mercedes-Benz GLC Facelift (X253)

[Merc1]

I absolutely love this facelift. It's just enough to keep it fresh for a few more years. I hate that the U.S. still doesn't get the 299hp I4 with EQ tech. The GLC300 should have become the GLC350 with 299hp.

They fixed the headlights, which I don't like on the prefacelift. Interior is ok still.

Very nice face-lift..exterior of this car has been one of the favourites.. They freshened it up very nicely.

Interior it has the new screen which is much better like in the new C I love the new drivers digital display played with it in the C class its very nice.

MBUX is going to be really nice added feature for the GLC.

Nice new engines to the Line up its a very popular SUV in the UK I can imagine this will keep it going for the next few years as the current one still looks very fresh.

GLC 200 d 4MATIC with 120 kW / 163 hp (360 Nm), 5.5-5.2 liter...

I wonder if they will install the GLC 200/200 d engines in the C-class as well, strange that Mercedes has a 2.0ltr in the GLC200 while the C-class has an inferior 1.5ltr motor in the C200. The GLC200 d has slightly more power 120kw to 118kw in the C200 d.

It is indeed strange. Mercedes is putting the 1.5l m264 engine to the E260(E200) in China as well.

The newest facelifts Mercedes-Benz has operated are looking very intriguing. The front fascia is now lacking the powerful looks of the GLC pre-facelift, it is too softened, while the tail lights are really odd in their inner design and not in line with the overall design of the car. It is simply about grafting new ideas on a quite old philosophy design just to stay up to update. The final result is not at all balanced and cohesive - I find it rather disturbing.

I second that. It’s one of my favourite Mercedes designs because it’s fresh without being too try-hard like the GLK and neither is it too soft looking in basic trims.

AMG line

I almost mistook it for the GLE.

AMG line

Just perfect...

 

[PHYBENZ]

Not a big fan of the redesigned taillights. I think they weaken the presence of the SUV. The current upgraded taillights on the GLC are, IMHO, some of the nicest taillights in the MB lineup, especially at night.

 

[iskander.zia]

The AMG line is really nice. Any more pics?

I see where you are coming from. From one perspective this facelift isn’t an improvement because they’re facelifted one was very good looking. This is very much a design harmonisation with the new GLE.

 

[MercFan]

Pre facelift was one of the best looking Mercedes in the lineup. So good simple, serious and agressive a little. Now the design is screwed up. It's too soft. AMG line doesn't really help. Don't like headlights and grille. The rear lights are awful and out of place on this car.
However the interior is the best in class by a mile)

 

[Giannis]

A perfectly fine facelift. Truth to be told, I can't find anything the bothers me with the pre-facelift version.

 

[donkeykong]

The preface lift looked more aggressive to me. It's looking a bit soft up front now.

That's the thing with the GLC. It was perfectly fine pre facelift and it's perfectly fine post facelift...it's just more in line with the new GLE and GLS, so you can see why they did it.

What about the C class front lights design and the small ipad screen with cheep plastic ?

Hard to put as a negative the pre-FL GLC had the C-Class frontlights when this FL front end has the same frontlights that the new E-Class.

MB simply design a pair of frontlights and sticks them across the entire line up.
