Successful facelift, it is definitely better looking than before. If they could now fix the SL's face like that.

Not too long to go for the SL

Personally I like every part of the changes except the rear lights I preferred the previous rear light more.

The red looks wonderful

The Night package becomes available on the GLS according to MB Passion.

I am not feeling this face lift.
Those huge bushy eyebrows are simply distasteful. The headlight clusters were not designed
for those C-Class graphics.

The AMG treatment makes it look even worse.

In this class of vehicle, what do feel that looks better?

Thank you to the fellow member Wolfgang for this picture but I took it for the B class. So much resemblance which is not good. I know IRL it would look different because of the size but C class at the front and B class at the rear...what's going on in the Mercedes design department. Not much IMO.

 

[Wolfgang]

A B-Class with Night Package to compare to.

Mercedes keeps telling us how big the GL is, but it isn't. It has NO MORE ROOM in the front and middle row than an ML. No more leg room. No more shoulder room.
It lacks in space compared to almost every full sized luxury SUV on the market. Plus it doesn't offer luxurious captions chairs or a middle row and extends/slides and/or retracts for flexibility in 3rd row seating.

For GLE, GLS, SLC and SL there is no other way but wait for next Gen to come

Isn't the GL the only in it's class with a 'real' third row?

 

[E63 AMG]

I don't see any huge issue. I actually like it! Well done!

Though, they could certainly cultivate it better, next time.

And of course the CLA.

U forgot the E Class

I really like MB's current design direction, so the Wagener-ing of past Pfieffer designs is always a win for me. Upping the material choices is a step in the right direction for the interior of a refresh. It's a better vehicle today than it was yesterday and a great choice in the segment.

That said this is a car in desperate need of a clean sheet redesign, especially inside. It needs an S-class style interior, with captain's chairs, and more space efficiency. If the G is the epitome of Mercedes SUV ruggedness, this should be the epitome of comfort and tech.
