Looks exactly like the Audi Q5. When you are best in class, everyone copies you. I was expecting more from the house of Benz. This tactic reminds me of Hyundai and Kia in the 90s.

This is a genuinely gorgeous interior ... and then you get to that tacked-on infotainment screen. Just imagine how significantly nicer the interior would be either with a screen that rises from the dash or, ironically, no screen at all.

This is probably what we'll get instead of a C wagon. Yay.

Absolutely agree. What IS it with all these models with nav screens that look like an aftermarket unit was bolted on as a design afterthought? It looks like 2006 in here!

A little hint of the Macan on the rear.

I think its attractive but yes, the iPad attached to the dash in the new MB's just kills me. I'm getting used to it but it ruins an otherwise very attractive dash in the CLA, GLA and C Class and now this.

Its going to take a while for me not to think of this when I hear GLC.

If you mean it has 4 wheels, 4 doors and an SUV profile, then sure. To me, there's nothing here that resembles an Audi. This design is basically their C-wagon from Europe expanded a little to fit a crossover profile.

I agree completely about the tack-on iPad/infoscreen and disagree pretty completely that it looks like a Q5 or Macan. The back end / trunk actually looks usable and seems to offer good visibility (good on you, M-B). Looking forward to driving one. One wonders why the author did not include the X3 in its competitive set.

lol just how does this look "Exactly like the q5"? the q5 is ALL AROUND ROUND and BULKY. this thing has curved edges..and slim body..the back/butt is using the design language from the S63 coupe..hence the mini back lamps.
