Mercedes offers the GLC Coupe
to those looking for something a little different from a traditional
crossover, and now, the model is getting a face-lift. For 2020, the
rakish SUV boasts an updated exterior and a new infotainment interface.
According
to the specs provided by Mercedes, the GLC 300 Coupe shrinks slightly
in length. The model is 3.0 inches shorter, while maintaining the same
width and wheelbase. Height has increased by almost an inch, however. In
terms of exterior design, look for updates to the grille, headlights
and taillights, and front and rear fascias.

Like the regular GLC crossover,
which was also recently updated, the Coupe features a new 2.0-liter
turbo-four with 255 hp, an increase of 14 hp from last year. Torque
remains steady at 273 lb-ft.
Inside the cabin, you'll encounter
new upholstery options. But the bigger news is the improved technology.
The model benefits from the MBUX interface,
which has a new voice control system that allows drivers to issue
commands by saying "Hey Mercedes." There are many other ways to interact
with information in the car. The model receives a larger 10.25-inch
touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The old rotary
push button on the center console has been replaced by a new touchpad.
The steering wheel is also new with touch control buttons for operating
different functions.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz
GLC Coupe now has gesture control recognition and navigation with
augmented reality, in which arrows are superimposed directly onto the
touchscreen image, making it hard to miss a turn. Expect the latest
driver aids, including active lane change assist, steering assist, and
route-based speed adaptation.
We're still waiting for Mercedes to
release full specs for the GLC Coupe lineup. But we do know the 2020
Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe will debut at the New York auto show next month.
Sales begin by late this year.
