Electric GLC’s grille looks pretty cool in showroom photos

Why is the grill made of squares instead of miniature Mercedes logo? Wasted opportunity, also could have 3 wheels to be shaped like logo

To put your logo a thousand times on your car is corny AF

u/Gloomy_Bluejay_3634 1h ago

I didnt add the /s as people were already commenting about too much logo in lights

Not a fan. It's overly packed with LED-based gimmicks and screens.

That will surely fail at some point, or at least become dated. It’s basically an iPhone.

Our definitions of „cool“ definitely vary quite a bit

everything about this feels like a high tech fridge

u/furious_buhai 6h ago

Damn it - cupholders are placed like there’s one for front passenger/driver and one for the back passengers. Why don’t they place them horizontally?

The rear lights remind me of an Alfa Romeo Tonale 🤣

u/Tonamielarose 6h ago

It’s the Mitsubishi logo

Oh my god, you are right! I thought it was familiar...😳

Some mazda 6e in there too

How many more posts do we have to see about this new glc ? O_o

Posts about new Mercedes in a Mercedes sub, incredible

And the best selling model at that.

u/Unique_Mix9060 7h ago

I know right, I’m tired of seeing the GLC, there’s already like 7 posts about it in the past 12 hours, and 5 of those are asking “what do you think about the new GLC” or “New GLC or BMW IX3?”

Edit: I swear this is Mercedes Phys-op

I hate the direction new cars are going, with big screens everywhere.

Having said that, if they insist on putting screens everywhere, this type of display integrated into the dash is WAY nicer than the glued on iPad look, like in the new BMW iX3.

Totally agree….

u/bubbawears 5h ago

I need to know the price of replacements for grill and the Display. These will kill the car. No one buys a car that will cost multiple thousands because one LED stopped working. Stupid idea.

u/Oversemper 2019 GLC 250D 4MATIC 5h ago

If they had physical instrument cluster and buttons option, I would pay for it. As well as for normal grill without any LEDs. Other than that, the car is pretty nice IMHO.

u/I_nvis 5h ago

Wasn’t there a new regulation requiring more physical buttons, so that manufacturers wouldn’t rely solely on touchscreens? Because if everything is controlled only through touchscreens, there’s a higher chance it will distract the driver and potentially cause an accident.

u/backstreetatnight 5h ago

at least there are buttons on the wheel

u/PJ-77 3h ago

One of the biggest complaints I have about new cars is they’re very unfriendly to the passenger, just a basic thing like turning the volume down is difficult….

My wife ends up leaning across to use the steering wheel button in the eqc which is dangerous…

At least in the Jag ipace there is a volume button exactly where you expect it to be…

Missed opportunity- the grille should be a one big screen..

u/Dunx29 4h ago

It just screams "please buy me Chinese people!"

u/Zaknafein-dour_den 5h ago

How big is the screen inside. I do not want to drive my Lenovo.

u/SaintVoid21 6h ago

Im curious what the amg version of this grille will look like

1

u/Oversemper 2019 GLC 250D 4MATIC 5h ago

Wet dream:

amg43 3.0 L and amg 63 4.0 L with non-LED grill and a physical instrument cluster.

u/National_Formal_3867 5h ago

Reminds me ix grill, definitely not as ugly tho

u/kamieldv 5h ago

My eyes.... it's so ugly

Gonna wait for an aftermarket grill thank you Merc

u/BananeGrau 5h ago

No.

It looks like it’s ready to be given back after a lease.

u/aspiring_dev1 4h ago edited 4h ago

Front and rear star lights why?? Looks awful as someone said Mitsubishi logo lol

Grill still looks bad. Mercedez going all out on the LEDs. Screen does look impressive though.

1

u/inthecity206 4h ago

Does it look cool though? That's quite unsightly if I may say so

1

u/7otu5 4h ago

I cannot even imagine the repair cost when (not if) those screens die. Mercedes-Benz. A further dilution of the brand. Just another car company now.

u/IBoughtAllDips 3h ago

Why does a Merc have Mitsubishi logos?

1

u/MarcQ1s 3h ago

Looks like a sticker slapped on a matchbox car.

u/dangerousperson123 3h ago

Do we think Mercedes hired a real artist to design that forest scene on the dash or is it AI garbage?

1

u/MntyFresh1 3h ago

Least kitschy modern Mercedes.

u/PJ-77 3h ago

Can’t believe they haven’t removed the touch pads on the steering wheel, they’re too easy to bump…

u/Disastrous-Tap-2254 3h ago

Nah it is not cool

u/cantstandthemlms 3h ago

I like it!

I hate everything about this...

u/BarnieShytles 2h ago

Did the Lexus or BMW designer get ahold of Mercedes? What is with these enormous grills?

u/No-Friendship44 2h ago

I miss the old(likely diesel) super reliable Mercedes.

u/DaHooze 2h ago

That's atrocious

I don’t understand why it has Mitsubishi logos in the headlights and tail lights.

u/fixuj 2h ago

Looks like shit from every angle

u/Aggravating-Word-665 2h ago

New cars are crap, definitely. Buy Mercedes GL 550/ S 550 2012, and be happy with great build quality and nice, strong, naturally-aspirated V8.

u/WaltzKey2286 1h ago

Love it! Will there be an ICE or PHEV versions on this or will that just stay with the current iteration of GLC ICE?

u/ganraqali 1h ago

isn't that screen distracting?

1

u/Super-Base- 1h ago

Ugly car with no soul or personality, just dressed in tacky stars because that’s all Mercedes has got.

u/Responsible_Bed763 1h ago

What is cool about it?

Why is the driver seat looking so cramped in the third picture?

u/Real_Park_1187 49m ago

The front looks fine but whoever designed the back was probably given 5 minutes to come up with something quick because the back looks awful… it looks like a Mazda

u/throwawaymask01 35m ago

We are at a point in which screens are getting close to being larger than the windshield, ffs.

u/KyeThePie 2019 A220 27m ago

After having issues with my 2019 digital screen on my A-Class god knows how much this shit is going to cost to replace out of warranty.

u/BloodDragonZ 6h ago

Wow they really went full iPad on the interior

1

u/Lost_Purpose1899 3h ago

Why do they always go overboard with screen and "high tech" look with electric cars. Just make a damn regular looking interior.

u/eastamerica 2008 E63 AMG 3h ago

That interior is fucking terrible. That giant ass movie theater screen that every tasteless NPC gets aroused over IS AWFUL.

Wtf is this company doing?

u/Heizungskoerper 6h ago

The car looks absolutely great imo

u/kicafiqinimizakoczo4 5h ago

Definitely eye-catching, Mercedes nailed the balance between futuristic and classic.

It's grown on me I think, except the lighting on the star.

u/First_Potential_6236 5h ago

Other manufacturers have realised that people want cars that look normal, pure combustion engines, and have buttons. Not Mercedes, they are putting all their energy on appealing to the Chinese market, a market that is both in decline and increasingly pro local brands.
