Dashboard is covered in mbtex. Side doors tops and upper sides appear to match it too. I will post pictures in a day or two. I haven't seen the non Napa look ones so I don't know how it compares. However, the Mbtex Dashboard makes it look consistent with the rest of our black mbtex interior. We got ours just about a month back on Oct. 02.

MB-Tex is MB's faux leather. MB-Tex with Nappa look is faux leather that looks (not feels) like Nappa leather. So if you upgrade the seats to plusher and softer Nappa leather, then matching it with MB-Tex with Nappa look will make it consistent. The standard leather/MB-Tex looks more coarse.

Sorry I don’t have a picture but my 2023 GLC 300 with pinnacle package had it and I really miss it on the 2025 GLC 300 also with pinnacle package
The mb tex dash and doors give them a softer feel and the stitching adds a nice touch
i took the 2025 off the lot with everything Verde silver,pinnacle package, drivers assistance package,heads up, digital light, running boards, trailer hitch, vented front seats , heated rear, rear air bags, pano roof, enhanced usb outlets but not the Amg appearance package
in miss the dash and door trims as it added a little class to the interior

We have a twin with the same interior features! We got the almost exact same configuration but in obsidian black coupe.

The only minor difference is I got dashcam for another $200. It made sense since I was doing a factory order. I had actually asked them to remove the Napa dashboard since it doesn't show up on online configurator. They kept it in the final order and I really didn't care one way or the other by then. Now I am glad they did based on your thoughts.

Pics from my 2025 GLC. I think the dash is a pretty good match for the black leather and stitching on the seats and side cards.

I have the MB-Tex dash on my 2023 GLC because at the time I ordered it in early 2023 it was a required “option” that all GLCs came with ( you still had to pay for it).

MB-Tex is a great material for the dash and top of door. It isn't as soft as leather when you touch it, but it looks like leather and one rarely touches those areas. The best part about it is that it doesn't dry out and shrink from the sun and start to bubble like leather does, so it's great for those sun exposed areas of the interior. You get the look of leather, without the downsides of it shrinking over time and lifting off the dash.

Those pictures are the full black nappa leather interior. I don't believe you get all that for $350. This option in Canada is about $3700. I have attached pictures of the Sienna Brown Nappa Leather Interior with Glossy Brown Ashwood Trim.

They work! I know, uploading pictures on this forum can be a lottle difficult.
So is this the MB Tex Nappa Look Dashboard that you have? Basically the same dashboard that I have but the door inserts are the same as the standard GLC (no cross stitching)

Yeah, that's ours, a month old 2026 GLC Coupe. No cross-stitching like you said.

FWIW, I had picked standard Black MBTex for factory order. The online configurator said that MBTex is required for ventilated seats. However, I have read around here that it is not necessarily true. The sales guy was just winging it so I didn't take chances with other options. Wife wanted all black.

Yeah, when we were ordering the online configurator in Canada also said vinyl seats are a prerequisite for seat ventilation. After getting some good advice here, I can confirm that it's not true!
