2020 GLC 43 AMG - any pictures?

I see tons of GLC 300 pictures with AMG styling package - have you found any pics of GLC 43 yet?

Here's the 2020 GLC introduction from Geneva in Mar 2019. It has a 43 grill with a 63 bumper cover, the rear is badged as a GLC 300 yet it has the rear bumper cover/diffuser of a 63. MB doing their best marketing deception & bling splashing introduction of the updated model. Headlight DLR's are new as well as tailights.


The 63 grill is carried over from 2019 to 2020 from 2020 63 photos from NY auto show.

For the 43 I expect to see the new DRL for headlights, new led tailights, new digital dash, updated MBUX along with a few other minor interior updates. Same grill as 2019 43 I strongly suspect. Cost control, MB is not going to spend a lot of $$$ on the refresh when the next generation GLC is due for 2022

My opinion and observations from prior MB model refreshs or Life Cycle Impulse (BMW terminology).

I'm also waiting for the official 2020 43 introduction as we're hoping to do ED for one in Sept 2020.

awesome, thanks for your thoughts. We watched this video but were confused to see GLC 43 diamond grill on GLC 300. And then another video named "2020 GLC 43" actually featured GLC 300 grill on 43 and we were like what the heck?? But then my wife saw 63 grill and she was like "oh, i think i love it more" )

A gaggle of MB's
Euro Delivery - HerrK - I don't know if your intention for Euro delivery was Sept 2019 for 2020 model - not ED Sept 2020 as you posted. Please undersatnd AMG GLC models are 5% ED discount (and free US delivery) and not 7% as available as discount on MB (non-AMG) models.

From the ED side -the planned Euro Delivery release schedule at this moment : 2020 GLC43's are scheduled for ED launch soonest Dec 11 2019 : 2020 GLC63's launch October 31st release.

Please understand these 1st ED launch dates are for cash/outright purchase with your dealer - financed or leased will not be possible until 4 weeks later.

I'm kindof surprised your AZ dealer has not given you this info - which frankly means whoever that dealer is - they don't know sh*t..

Really planning for ED in Sept 2020 as stated, for whatever MY is available at the time of production order & actual build. Assuming 2020 might actually be a 2021 due to factory changeover. Had previously did ED on a 2014 which actually got built as a 2015. I'm aware of the all the ED pricing, delivery/re-delivery nuances. Have had the pleasure of a completing a couple of ED's - not a rookie from that point of view.

Thanks.

which has nothing to do with anything. I believe there is a video on youtube implying that the 48 volt system will be a part of the refresh on the car
