I'm a little disappointed, but I'm not sure why. I suppose I should have expected it to look just like a C-class but taller inside, but somehow I was hoping for it to keep the design trend of the GLE/GLS... but then again, this is the newer MBUX system which seems to favor that one large 4:3 aspect ratio display in the center console. Hmm, what are all your thoughts?

The new Mercedes-Benz GLC - Dynamic, powerful and exclusively with electrified drive
Quote:
All-rounder both on and off the road: the GLC has significantly improved on and off-road attributes for adverse weather conditions and stretches with unpaved roads. These include simplified operation using the off-road screen, clearer information thanks to the "transparent hood" and outstanding traction and handling safety by virtue of improved control systems.
Comfort and agility: Key components of the GLC's dynamically designed chassis are a new four-link front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The standard suspension already provides a high level of suspension, ride and noise comfort, agile handling and driving enjoyment. It is equipped with an amplitude-dependent damping system.
Exterior design: Unique proportions with classic SUV features such as a chrome underguard, roof rails and optional running-boards are combined with new contoured edges in the sides to create a balance between elegance, sportiness and off-road performance. Highlights include the new headlamps, which connect directly to the radiator grille and accentuate the vehicle's width. In combination with the optional DIGITAL LIGHT, they feature an all-new daytime-driving light design. Another visual highlight is the radiator grille surrounded with chrome as standard.
Interior design: The GLC continues the successful formula of modern, sporty luxury from Mercedes-Benz. This is exemplified, for example, through the dashboard that is horizontally divided into two sections, and features generous trim surfaces with a central display that appears to float above it. The avant-garde seat design and modern door panels emphasize the high quality of the interior.
Wind resistance: In its aerodynamically favorable configuration, the minimal drag coefficient of the GLC is Cd = 0.29. This makes it two tenths better than its predecessor (Cd = 0.31) - a notable advance for an SUV with conventional drive.
Noise comfort: At an even higher level, the GLC is a pleasantly quiet vehicle with a refined sound signature and very low road and wind noise. All the acoustic measures jointly contribute to the "welcome home" atmosphere that is typical of Mercedes-Benz.
MBUX: The latest generation of the infotainment system with two large displays and optional full-screen navigation makes the interior even more digital and intelligent.
Maximum operating convenience: The voice assistant "Hey Mercedes" has become more capable of natural dialogue and learning capabilities.
Entertainment: MBUX fully integrates major music streaming providers, including personal preferences and settings. Newsflash is another new feature of MBUX. With the keyword “Hey Mercedes”, it enables the customer to access individually chosen news categories such as business, sport or culture. The optional Burmester® 3D surround sound system offers a unique listening experience with 15 premium speakers and a total output of 710 watts.
Assistance systems: The latest generation of the Driving Assistance package contains additional and further improved functions, for example in Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Traffic Sign Assist and the new Parking package with 360-degree camera.
Digital Light: This revolutionary headlamp technology (optional) provides new functions such as the projection of auxiliary markings and warning symbols onto the road.
Comfort features: The components and systems of the GLC are improved in numerous details, i.e. GUARD 360°, ambient lighting or the new panoramic sunroof, which has a slimmer cross-strut for a significantly improved feeling of spaciousness.

I like it, they added colored cladding which I very much wanted when we use to have a GLC, and the seats are now based on the new C-Class which are much more comfortable than the prior design. There is a bit of GLE influence in the rear which also looks good and much sportier than the previous model. As design trends, the GLE/ML has typically always been more distinctive than other MB SUV's as only it receives the split C-pillar design in which the rear window wraps around the D-pillar, all other MB SUV's typically have the connected three-box window design.Originally Posted by dalazernet

Those headlights look great. Not sure why they didn't make them the same for the new C300.

Seems a little premature to be announcing them 10 months before intro in the US but since Europe gets them this fall I guess they have no choice. This looks to be a similar process to the 2020 new Gen GLE in April 2019. Run the old Gen as a 2023 in the US until the new Gen comes out as a 2024 early release in about April.

In Europe yes…but I didn’t see that confirmed for the US. If it’s going to be a 2023 then what do they build/sell for the 8 or so months until April 2023? I guess they can keep building 22’s through year end but a better business decision would be to repeat what they did with the GLE, IMO.Originally Posted by Eaton

Thanks for the spec sheet. Never new about the https://media.mbusa.com/ site.
I visited my dealership last week. My salesman is expecting that the dealerships will be placing their allotment orders before years end. I will be special ordering one. Just hoping that the chip shortage will get better before they start building the 23's.
In the mean time, I will be in Spain for the month of August and have already told my daughter that we will be visiting the local Barcelona dealership for a test drive of the EU version.

I was really looking forward to them releasing an electric GLC as I would like to drop off the Model Y at some point. I guess that won't happen till 2025...

2020 GLC300 is my second. First was a 2017 GLC300. I complained to the dealer about noise in it, and they promptly ordered and installed acoustic comfort glass in the front door windows free of charge, which took care of this issue. As a bonus, these double-pane side window are highly impact-impact resistant--do a Google search and you can find videos of a guy banging them with a hammer.
I ordered the 2020 with the acoustic glass option. Nice and quiet.
Wifey has had six E-series sedans in a row, new one every three years from 2003-2018, and IMO, the GLC300 is comparable in ride comfort, maybe one small notch lower. I like my current GLC so much I'm buying it when the lease is done--used price is about $10K more.

Please tell me that the windshield wiper issue is a joke.. I just bought a 2022 GLC 300 and I have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow to look at it. I would have never guessed that this is a common issue.Originally Posted by dagoselma
My biggest question is when. I’m seriously considering a GLC but my current lease ends this December and I doubt they will be selling it already in the US. I did own a 2016 GLC that was replaced by the current BMW X5; loved the GLC except for the super annoying windshield wiper rattling/skipping
