2020 GLC43 Order Is In

Finalized an order for my dealer’s only 2020 GLC43 slot. Build is slotted for 2D October.

Heads up for anyone looking to order - the AMG Drive Unit (option code U88) is not currently available for this model, and would have delayed the build to December or January. Perhaps this is due to a parts constraint.

Heated steering wheel is apparently not available for the 2020 C class 43/63 models. I would have optioned it if available with the AMG steering wheel as is available in the 2020 E53/E63.

Here’s my option list:
12.3" digital instrument panel
Driver Assistance
Lighting Package
Parking Assistance package
Burmester sound
Performance exhaust
Heated and ventilated front seats
Noise/heat insulating front glass
Wireless charging
LED Logo projectors

Depends on what is considered “decent”.

Congrats! I'm still waiting for an allocation on mine, I wonder if that has to do with the U88 option I selected. Did you get details about if it was only the GLC43 that this was holding up production on or if it was the GLC63 models as well? I have a build request in for a GLC63 SUV.

I believe it’s the GLC63 as well, but I didn’t attempt a configuration of the GLC63.

If your dealer has an allocation for a GLC63, then I speculate U88 will result in a rejected build configuration.

My dealer has a GLC63 slot, so I’d ask your dealer if they can trade for another dealer’s slot.

Spike - A clarification question, did you option U88 or no?

Thanks for the suggestion!

The AMG Drive Unit (U88 in the dealer ordering guide) is the steering wheel buttons that control other functions like the selection of the drive mode, exhaust function, etc.

Waiting for allocation

My order gets submitted tomorrow.

I am ordering Coupe, so I am told drive unit is available - but that could be because Coupe will only deliver in January. My build won’t actually start for another 2 months.

Heated steering wheel is available here in Canada, but you lose the nice wheel and no drive unit as discussed above.

Roads are crappy here, so I actually wish I could order 20” rims... but the 21’s come in the AMG Drivers Package. Can’t give up the PE. Lol.

I currently drive a C43. Too tight with two growing kids. Lots more room in the GLC - must be because of the height. As mentioned above the crappy roads have me wanting more sidewall, and the GLC helps with that. I have had 4 flats... I also hope I get Conti’s. PZero’s suck.

This week my order was assigned a build date for 3D October. Order slot turned red, so no more changes to the build.

Nice! My order is set to build in November. A ways to wait. Need to order winter rims and tires soon.

43 or 63? What climate are you in to need winter tires over all season?

I will have summer tires with the AMG Drivers package. I am getting the 43.
I am in Canada and we definitely need winter tires. I am getting out of a C43 because of ground clearance issues in the winter. (And growing space needs for kids and rough ride)
