You see a car from the outside for the first time, and the GLC EV looks so ordinary and boring next to the iX3. They've ruined that interior with this car. I like the interior, but the exterior, and especially the rear, are so ordinary and basic.
Yes, it's more than evident in the comparison photos. I don't recall such a difference between direct competitors. BMW (as they've stated) skipped an entire generation, and it's very noticeable that it's a much more thoughtful, well-crafted, and better-focused product for the current environment, something that will definitely be reflected in sales. The fact that these two products are debuting on the same day is even odd and will reinforce this even more.
I wouldn’t say the design is ordinary or basic, it’s just plain ugly. If we get rid of the huge grille and the taillights, it’s still an ordinary Mercedes SUV with boring body lines and the same old design details. They’ve been using that same front bumper design for I don’t even know how many years now. The interior is the only thing that looks good about it. Other than that it’s a total mess. It’s mind boggling to me that some people likes the way it looks.
Love the interior. Hate the grille and the real light graphics, which looks too playful, like a big toy.
You worded everything perfectly. I’m also struggling to understand the extensive use of star graphics on everything, as if people can’t tell it’s a Mercedes. With the taillight graphics, the whole rear end has 5 total star logos. Why? Looks so cheap to me. Even if they wanted to add star logos, they could’ve found a better way to design them. Instead, they thought it was a good idea to put them inside a half circle and call it a day. Just no, man.
BMW must have designed NK because it had lost its way.
BMW's NK design has got on your nerves a lot, you can't hide it. You accept every criticism that comes to Mercedes as if it has come to you and go on the attack. Sorry Furkan, BMW has gone to a different level with NK.
For me, the exterior design is ugly and unimpressive. The interior is quite impressive, but I don't think I would choose this vehicle, which has a weak exterior. Next to the iX3, it looks like it was designed 5-6 years ago.
If I put a BMW emblem on a horse-drawn carriage, you'd like that too. That's why it's impossible for you to understand what I'm sayın
Oh my goodness, after criticizing BMW's massive kidney grille, I have to immediately defend myself against criticizing an even more massive Mercedes grille because I'm a huge Mercedes fanboy.It's hard to understand people. You won't miss this car, but you praised its design. The GLC isn't ugly; it's just not different. We're back to the same old story. Different doesn't mean good. BMW defended its kidneys and other negativity, but now it's on a completely different path. It seems to have found its way.
You might not know it because you're a kid. Mercedes grilles used to look huge. And they're not squirrel-faced like BMW kidneys. You have a lot to learn.Oh my goodness, after criticizing BMW's massive kidney grille, I have to immediately defend myself against criticizing an even more massive Mercedes grille because I'm a huge Mercedes fanboy.
It had “lost” its way and its the best selling brand out of the German trio. Their radical (or ugly to some) designs was one of the main reasons they outsold Mercedes and Audi because they attracted the younger buyers and ones that wanted something different/cool. It’s not only related to design but also to reliable engines, great tech, and overall great packaging. This utter fanboy stuff is so funny to me.
Why do you even speak on people’s behalf saying “you won’t miss these cars”? So weird. Both iX and 7er are great cars, latter being the best generation out of all the past generations, and actually giving the S-Class a hard time, maybe even outselling it, which was not the case for many years.It's hard to understand people.
