The Mercedes GLC facelift gets some minor cosmetic changes, more technology on the interiors and new BS-6 compliant engines, of course with an increase in price.
Mercedes-Benz has launched the GLC facelift in India today. Mercedes revealed the GLC facelift earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show. The Mercedes GLC facelift has been on sale in international markets for some time and now, it has finally arrived to our shores. The Mercedes GLC facelift now has a starting price from Rs 52.75 lakh for the petrol-powered GLC 200 while the GLC 220d 4Matic diesel costs Rs 57.75 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India).
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. In fact, its easier to tell the facelift from the rear than from the front. The GLC facelift has been made to look more in line with bigger Mercedes SUVs like teh GLE and the GLS.

However, the most significant update lies under the hood. Interestingly, the previous GLC in India was powered by a BS-4 compliant 2.1 liter diesel engine. With the facelift however, Mercedes has dropped the 2.1 liter diesel engine in favour of a BS6-compliant 2.0-litre diesel engine. It produces 190hp and 400Nm of torque in the GLC 220d. The same engine is also offered on the C-Class and E-Class sedans. The GLC 200 petrol comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine good for 197hp and 300Nm of torque. Both the engines will come mated to Mercedes’ 9-speed automatic gearbox. The Mercedes GLC competes with the likes of the Land Rover Discovery Sport, the BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60 in our market.
