GLC facelift?

Hi!

I put down my order on two 350e's today. Dealer pushed me ahead in the line, but it's still months away. Anyway, as I came home today I was thinking that it might get a facelift next year? I tried googling, but nothing about the GLC.

Rumours?

If it's a facelift it would be mild. I suspect carplay will show up for 2018, and there are things online about a c class facelift in the offing. The big question is if the driving assistance features and digital instrument cluster that have been introduced for the E class migrate down to the C/GLC family. My suggestion is if you want to play it safe wait a couple extra months to order; or order now if you're happy with how it looks and its current suite of features, but demand a decent discount, especially this late in the model year.

Yeah I read about the c-class facelift.
If they upgrade to the digital instruments in 2018 I Will be devastated. It's such an inprovement on both looks and usability. I need a bigger vehicle in August, so Im having trouble deciding What to do..

If you wait for facelifts on cars you will never buy, as soon as one is done the next one is around the corner.

Thanks for the answers! I guess I'll just have to get em and be satisfied! Psyched about the hybrid version. They sell TONS where I live due to the taxes. Allmost USD 15,000 down on the smallest diesel engine.
