New 2020 GLC63

Seen the new Facelift has been released....

looks nice and got some decent subtle tweaks. The interior tech is a nice improvement!

I'm confused as to why they didn't show the GLC 43 facelift. Those likely sell in higher numbers so I'm surprised they didn't debut the car along with the 63 models. As far as I know there aren't any immediate upcoming auto shows until late summer (though correct me if I'm wrong), so I don't know when they intend to debut the GLC 43.

I'm intending to buy the 43 facelift model and going to NYC on Friday, so it's disappointing that it won't be there.

But isn't the 43 and 63 the same as far as body styling?

not at all. The 63 is full fat as opposed to the milder 43

Mercedes showed a facelift GLC63S SUV in New York. So does that mean the US will finally get that model? Hope so - it's the only MBZ I want.

Apparently not. One of the press videos I watched said it will remain the same, 63S only for the Coupe.

Thanks. What a shame. Smaller markets like Canada, England and even Australia get it but not the biggest Mercedes market the US.

Yeah it makes no sense. In Canada we only get the S models on both body styles, non-S isn't even an option.

So happy with my 2019 GLC63. Glad that follow up got uglier and not better looking than ours.
I cant believe you guys like the new head lamps and horrible tail lights. It has visible squares there now when lights are on.

Ours look more menacing.

Much prefer the new look. Rear diffuser is a massive improvement. Interior in the preface lift was a massive issue for me

Set aside the new tech interior, we all expected that refresh. Personally, I don’t like the new light group. Looks less aggressive IMO.

True, and those new wheels are hideous.....my opinion. The touch screen would've been nice though.

New version looks like crap. Both front and back lights look awful and worse than the 2019 version.

Lol at the 19 owner for ******* the headlights... ok that’s fine but the Command system is kinda garbage compared to the MBUX... I’ll take a less aggressive headlight... 😏

The Mazda 3 on the other hand, now that's a nice car. Seriously though, if you're ditching your Mercedes and going to an import, why not a Lexus SUV or something like that? Maybe none of my business but curious why you'd go from your 43 to something half the price. The Mazdas (most of their line up) are pretty good but to go from something $60k plus to $25k will be a huge difference in vehicle.

This definitely sits high on my future purchase list. I will be watching the first year closely.

I want one. If MBUSA offered the SUV in the S model (like Canada) I would buy one. I'm never gonna be interested in the GLC Coupe.

Jaguar just introduced the F-Pace SVR with a 5.0 liter V8 with 550hp so the GLE SUV should be offered in the S-Model in the US to compete with it and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio with 510HP

the GLC non S competes just fine with the Stelvio... I test drove both this weekend (back to back) and walked away feeling unimpressed by the Alfa, but had a grin ear to ear after the GLC...

MBUX, has gotten mixed reviews. Mercedes will probably have it figured out in the next generation. To some people it's very important to have the latest tech. The early adopters always pay a price and are really just beta testers. The only "upgrade" I would be interested in on the 20 glc is slippery mode.

The front is uglier, The rear is uglier, the wheels are uglier. To each his own. Land of the free.

Loved the older GLC but this one, IMO, blows it out of the water. Subtle changes really make the biggest difference. Needs wheels though lol

Just interested why you wouldn't want the coupe?

The car pictured at New York show is a SUV S-Model so prolly not gonna see those wheels on the US non S-Model. The 2019 GLC63S coupe has 6 wheel styles so maybe more wheel styles to choose from on the 2020's.
