The Mercedes GLC crossover is still pretty new, but Mercedes has already started updating it with the same features it’s installing in its sister car, the C-Class. Inside, the infotainment/sat nav screen is going to grow in size, gaining a new touchpad controller as well. The steering wheel is the same as in the C-Class facelift, featuring two large touch surfaces which can be used to toggle the information shown by the screens without removing hands from the wheel. The GLC facelift prototype features a digital instrument cluster. However, it’s not connected to the infotainment, like it will be in the bigger GLE model. Instead, it’s encased in a binnacle, thus making the analog version seem a little more normal.
New powertrains are to be expected. And considering the GLC-Class facelift could debut in 2019, we’re confident in saying that inline-six engines will be offered, just like the ones presented for the CLS III four-door coupe. We’re talking about a huge improvement in economy and refinement for the GLC 350d, and potentially the introduction of a GLC 400d to rival the BMW X3 .
At the bottom of the range, we should see at least two versions of the new 2-liter diesel. But the GLC should have an increasingly diversified lineup of eco versions, just like the current GLC 350e plug-in. The GLC facelift is likely over a year away from being revealed.
