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

[Merc1]

Strange that there hasn't been anything the middle child GLC43 models. Question is are they being updated to 53 status with the I6 EQ setup? Anyone have anything?

The 48V has nothing to do with the air suspension.

There is something brewing with the lack of info on the GLC43 models. I’d bet at this point they’re going to get the I6 and become the GLC53 now. Motor1 is trying to say they’re being dropped. NO WAY is that happening.

It'll be interesting to see if the W205 platform can accommodate the length of the I6.

Having no belts could help mount it much closer to the cooling radiator, so maybe not much additional space is needed, just for a cylinder and a half.

This could be arguably Mercedes' best looking SUV. The facelift is simply perfect.

Still not convinced of the rear light graphics on the GLE, facelift GLC and GLS. Look goofy to me.

Looks better in person imo.

Raz also talks about the upcoming 43/53 variants in this video. Looks like he saw the prototypes, when visiting AMG in Affalterbach

Well is it going to change to a 53?

Who thought the GLC would get even better looking. It would easily be my class pick right now.

love the new GLE too, though I have only seen it with the AMG kit.

The GLS without the AMG kit is the one I worry about.

AS of now there is nothing in the DOG other than the 63.

 

[PHYBENZ]

That’s interesting. Was actually what I was considering when my C43 lease runs out. I see quite a few around here in Miami.

A think a GLE 63 that is as butch and square as the G63 might win you over. Other than that I agree. The face-lifted GLC is a superb refresh.

Where the hell is the 43/53 update?

Maybe we wont see a GLC53. A new GLC is expected in 2022 but maybe this will be a last update if they bring in a GLC53. Or possibly the inline6 wont fit under the bonnet?

Interesting, looks like it gets the same grille as the AMG V8 models.
