奔驰近期将有不少SUV将进行升级，同时发布新车，不仅包括GLE和GLS，还有首次推出的GLB。同时，谍照记者还拍到了伪装很少的GLC。新车外观最大变化仅限于前大灯和尾灯组采用了新的设计，但灯组形状并没有改变，如果改变就需要对车身面板进行调整，这对于一般改款车而言成本太高。奔驰诚意十足的部分公开了测试车时尚的LED大灯。同时，还能清楚的看到车头的日间行驶灯以及升级后的尾灯组。前保险杠被白色塑料布所遮挡，这表明这部分进行了轻度改款。也许很多人不会注意到，该车并未伪装的后保险杠与现行版相比也有小幅改变，在它的底部是一对黑色排气尾管。虽然这次没有拍到车辆内部，但从某些角度还是能看到信息娱乐系统集成的类似平板电脑的显示屏，但不要指望该车会配备类似GLE的高科技内装。新车配备的COMAND系统显示屏尺寸将增加，同时该车可选装数字仪表群。充车身少量的伪装判断，GLC改款车将在未来几周发布。届时，GLC220d和AMG 43动力将获得提升，这将是新车引擎升级的一部分。
2019 Mercedes GLC Spied With New Headlights, Taillights
It’s safe to say Mercedes has a busy schedule up ahead when it comes to SUV launches. Not only is it putting the finishing touches on the GLE and the GLS, but it’s also getting ready to expand its portfolio with the addition of a first-ever GLB. At the same time, the GLC is getting ready for a nip and tuck as evidenced in our spy shots with a barely camouflaged prototype.
The biggest changes on the outside will be limited to the fresh design of the headlights and taillights, but without modifying the shape of the clusters since that would require modifying the body panels which would be too expensive for a facelift. Mercedes was kind enough to partially reveal the snazzy LED lights of this test vehicle and we can clearly see the new daytime running light signature at the front and the updated graphics of the taillights.
A large piece of white fabric was covering the front bumper, which has likely gone through some mild changes for the GLC’s mid-cycle revision. Not that many people will notice, but the undisguised rear bumper is actually a little bit different compared to the ones currently available for the posh crossover and it hosts a pair of blacked-out exhaust tips.
While we can’t see what’s inside the prototype, from some angles it’s easy to notice the tablet-styled infotainment screen is there, so don’t hold your breath for that high-tech look seen recently in bigger GLE. The silver lining is Mercedes will bump the COMAND’s screen size and it will pair it with an optional digital instrument cluster as seen for the first time last year with the GLC F-Cell.
The refreshed GLC could debut in the weeks to come considering this test vehicle had very little camo. When Mercedes will eventually decide to unveil the crossover, expect the GLC 220d and the AMG 43 to get more power as part of an updated engine lineup mirroring that of the C-Class facelift.
