Will this be the new updated dash for the 2019 GLC AMGs?

Found this picture while browsing the web page for the new GLC F-Cell. Looks like they are going to offer the 12" nav screen from the E-Class and a digital cluster. Plus the new updated steering wheel from the S Class (but without the leather airbag).



If correct then this means jump from 2018 to 2019 will be a big improvement, and makes me question whether it may be worth waiting an extra 6 months.

In addition here are some 2019 C-Class spy shots which have some similar elements (though not all at once) to the GLC F-cell.

Remember we had this discussion about my 3 year lease hehe. This makes me feel better now, so by contract end this will be a perfect upgrade especially moving from a GLC43 to 63 with that dash

The new dash looks great. While I like new tech, the dash and screen aren't a deal breaker for me. But if production is delayed, I might reconsider.

Same here. Plus I might order a 2019 too. Should be easy to swap out after 6 months with minimal loss given the discount I'm getting up front.

Wouldn't you guys be waiting until the 2020 MY instead?

As I recall the first GLC 43 AMG model year was not 2016, but 2017. 2016 was the regular GLC's debut.

So if the facelift interval is four model years, then the regular GLCs are due for a refresh in 2018 for the 2019 model year and the GLC 43's will get an update in 2019 for the 2020 model year.

If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.

Typically the facelift follows the chassis cycle.

In this case my guess is that GLC43 and GLC300 will be given full facelift of 2019, and the GLC63 will just get an interior facelift. I don't think they will change the GLC63 exterior which is why it already has the Panamerica grille. S63 got the new grille mid-cycle refresh, so will the E63. GLC63 dodged that bullet because they probably realized a visual update with 6 months under the belt won't play well with buyers.

AT least that's what I anticipate. However this could be 2020 for all GLC models, and maybe only C-Class sedan gets the new interior for 2019.

Was in a friend's E class today. The 2017 has analog dials with the widescreen digital dash. The 2018 is all digital, including the instrument cluster. So it could be possible that if the 2019 C class gets the new dash, they could extend to the GLCs. Still not changing my order, just thought I'd share the 2017/2018 E class interior upgrade.

I'm disappointed with the delay but I don't have the patience to wait an additional year. I'll drive the 2018 and if I like it will look forward to another one later.

Your friend just didn't order the equipment package which includes the digital instrument cluster.

My MY17 E400 4Matic has digital screens for both the instrument cluster and infotainment system.

That makes sense. Was wondering why he didn’t have it. The E class interior is unbelievable. The ambient lighting in blue is very cool.
