How Long?

Has the X253 body been in existence? How many years does MB keep a body style before a new replacement? Thanks!

German cars get refreshed after 7 years.
GLC predecessor GLK (X204) was produced from 2008 to 2015.
Based on this, the current X253 will be replaced by MY 2023.

Based on your reply most if not all the "bugs" should be out of the cars by now. Thank you!

2020 cars have a new motor as well as new infotainment. Hoping there aren't major bugs but those are two possibilities
