The Mercedes-Benz GLC facelift comes with several cosmetic changes, new features and new BS-6 compliant engines as well.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC facelift was spotted testing in India some time. Now, Mercedes-Benz have announced that the GLC facelift will be launched in India on December 3, 2019. The new GLC is expected to be a tad bit more expensive than the current GLC sold on account of updated features and BS-6 engines. Mercedes debuted the GLC facelift at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.
The changes on the exterior are quite subtle but still significant enough. The Mercedes GLC facelift gets a completely new headlamp unit with new DRLs that now frame the headlamp unit. The grille has also been tweaked slightly and it gets new bumpers as well. The changes to the face are not much but still makes it look a lot fresher.
The side profile of SUV remains relatively unchanged but it gets new multi-spoke alloy wheels. At the rear, the changes are more significant. It gets a revised tail gate with new LED tail lamps and the bumpers have also been redesigned slightly. Also, the new inserts for the tail-lamps have a design similar to the next-gen GLE and GLS models – both of which are yet to come to India. In fact, its easier to tell the facelift from the rear than from the front.

The international-spec of the GLC comes with quite a few updates to the interiors and we expect it will make it to India as well. It gets a large, 10.25-inch unit touchscreen which comes with the latest MBUX system. The new MBUX with ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice command and a large central touchpad will be introduced for the first time on the GLC range. The GLC facelift also gets an all-digital instrument cluster for the first time, as seen on other more expensive Mercedes cars. There are also a few revised control surfaces.

However, the most significant update lies under the hood. Interestingly, the current GLC in India is powered by a BS-4 compliant 2.1 liter diesel engine. With the facelift however, Mercedes will drop the 2.1 liter diesel engine in favour of a BS6-compliant 2.0-litre diesel engine. The same engine is also offered on the C-Class and E-Class sedans. There will also be a BS-6 compliant petrol engine on offer. Both the engines will come mated to Mercedes’ 9-speed automatic gearbox. The refreshed GLC will rival the likes of the Land Rover Discovery Sport, the BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60 in our market.
