"We" didn't see it.

In addition to the exterior revisions, the GLK has been spied with numerous interior updates. Based on spy shots of a 2013 GLK test mule, there are rumors of a totally redesigned instrument cluster, as well as a dash-mounted gearshift. It's possible that Mercedes will do away with the center console shifter altogether, a direction that Lexus has gone with several of its luxury vehicles.
Glad I won't be buying that. Bad enough they got the operation of the "manual" shifting wrong. Copying Lexus? Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.2L Turbo gasoline engine. 300hp. 325 ft. lbs. torque. 24mph highway. 17" wheels standard. Permanent fog lights and headlight washers. LEDs where they will do the most good.

new bumper will extent of the facelift...maybe new headlights similar to updated C-class, which are pretty sweet.

I don't see any interior updates in the pics, and don't expect any.
