I like how they are getting rid of the body look of the current GLK
Seems to be going more mainstream in this reboot which is fine with me, I'm not a fan either of the squarish and honestly odd looking current body style either

Before the refresh of the current body, it was much much worse. Frumpy looking face, and the interior materials were poor, and this is coming from a C class owner who had almost the same interior. something about it felt less luxurious

Wowzas. I was not expecting this rear end treatment. I like it but definitely looks kind of odd at some angles...can't wait to see in person for further investigation.

lol MB always gets leaked out.

I agree the rear is interesting, looks like they used an Audi design language. I have faith in MB that it will look good, all their recent products do

Actually not that I look at it more, they took their inspiration from the C Wagon (and rightly so) and just made it taller

^^^You raise an excellent point. I actually forgot the C-class wagon existed.

The C estate is a great looking car, I have high expectations for this car.

First the new S class, now the knockout C class. MB is on roll!

Don't forget AMG GT, S-Class Coupe, new powertrains, stunning interior designs. Hopefully E-Class does not disappoint

Default Mercedes GLC interior fully revealed in latest spy photos

To debut in June

New spy photos of the Mercedes-Benz GLC have emerged revealing the interior of the SUV.

Following the exterior spy photos of the model from last week, we now have new fully revealing interior photos of the GLC to share, showing the model will get a C-Class-inspired cabin. We see a tablet-style display and three round air vents on the center console, while next to the armrest there’s a controller for the infotainment system. Other notable features are the leather seats and partly leather dashboard and the wooden trim on the console.

The model is expected to be unveiled in June this year and will be based on the MRA platform. The engine lineup will likely be carried over, which means a variety of familiar diesel and petrol units will be available. The range-topping AMG variant will get the new 4.0-liter biturbo engine with 476 HP (350 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque.

No surprise by the interior mirroring that of the similar C-Class.

Yep. Mercedes is now grouping their cars into families with shared interior experiences, as seen first in the A/CLA/GLA. I can't wait for the mini G-wagen to get here though to fill up the need for a boxy CUV.
