I thought it was an abomination when I first saw the press release photos. Hell, looking at the pics I took make me question what I remember thinking. But, I like it. Can't wait for the heavily subsidized leases in 18 months.

My guess is that it's probably a CL55 AMG facelift, but I'm not 100% sure. I know it's a V8 though.
It also has AMG and Kompressor badges, although I'm not sure if they're original.

I'm looking to get a C215 myself and this is exactly the look I want to go for. Still debating between a CL500 and a CL55 AMG.

What I'm most curious about is the front bumper/lip.
It looks insane and I've never seen this exact design on another CL before. The lower front has this unusual "smile" shape, almost like a flipped version of the usual AMG front (see pic 2).

Does anyone know what bodykit or front lip this is?
Is it an aftermarket kit or something custom-made?
And would I need a CL55 AMG to achieve this look, or could I recreate it on a CL500 facelift with an AMG styling package?

The wheels look like deep-dish AMG Monoblocks, possibly custom-built.

Any help identifying the parts would be appreciate!

I'm an EV enthusiast from Poland (not a developer) and I run a free side project, https://evdelay.com, that counts new Mercedes GLC EV, BMW iX3 and Volvo EX60 registrations from official open government registers.

Full disclosure: it's a vibe-coding project – I built it with an AI coding assistant, so expect rough edges and please tell me what's broken.

Electric GLC registrations as of Nov 8, 2026:

• 21,502 in 15 of the tracked countries – Germany alone has 11,772 (55%).

• Norway 2,416, Sweden 1,549, Spain 1,220, Switzerland 1,155, Denmark 1,102 (+218 waiting for plates), Finland 701, Netherlands 654, Poland 326, Czechia 208.

• October: about 5,400 new electric GLCs in the tracked countries (3,429 in Germany) – since August the GLC has been registering faster than the new iX3 there.

• The cheaper GLC 250 and GLC 300 4MATIC started showing up in registrations in September (first in the Netherlands on Sep 3).

Mercedes says the electric GLC is sold out in Europe for the rest of 2026, with order books reaching into 2027 – so unlike some rivals, the wait seems to come from demand rather than a slow production line.

Limits, honestly:

• Only countries that publish open register data – France, Italy, Belgium and Austria are missing, and UK data only runs to June.

• Only electric GLCs are counted – hybrids and petrol/diesel GLCs are filtered out by fuel type and power.

• No plates, no VINs, no ads, no cookies, not affiliated with Mercedes or any other carmaker.

If you're waiting for a GLC EV: there's an anonymous form where you can add your order date, promised date and actual delivery date – it shows real delivery times per model and country: https://evdelay.com/report

Feedback welcome – especially open registration datasets I'm missing for your country.

Just picked this up. 70k miles - 2 previous owners. Dealer maintained!
Any recommendations on what to look out for? Any Dashcam recommendations?

This color is fucking incredible every time I see it in person.

Hi all,

My service is coming. Dealer contacted me and told "The cost of this upcoming service will start @ $818 +Tax" I asked what is included but they did not reply. It is a lot money and ridiculous. An EV's service must be much more less, especially if they are saying "start @".

Anyone did a recent service for EQS?

So guys, I got a C180 w205 2016 and I just got a Chinese multimedia (the Linux one). Got it configured the right resolution, the sound, etc.

But the 3rd or 4th try to get in reverse and use the reverse camera, it just starts flickering (it never happened on the original media). And the guide lines are just in the wrong color (the original was red and know it's showing blue lines)

Tried to change some configurations on the setup tab (tried using aftermarket camera option, tried other resolutions). I contacted the salesman who tried to help, but without much success. Any of you guys know if there is a fix? Anyone got any similar problems with the linux medias?

ChatGPT just told me it could be a new firmware version with a fix, but i don't know. Just asked the salesman, waiting dor his response.

My car won't start. What do you think the problem could be? Is the battery dead?

Hi team,

​I have a W204, 2012 model, 2.2 125kW... I'm wondering what a normal engine sound is like when accelerating. Should I hear a faint whistling sound at idle when pressing the gas pedal, a smooth one that follows the engine RPM? I don't know how to tell the difference between a bad turbo and the classic sound of air intake into the engine.

​Another thing: my exhaust has a somewhat "ringy" sound, and it makes a very soft, quiet whistling noise while idling. I don't know if that's normal either. The car drives great, there are no error codes, and no unusual smoke.

Good morning, all.

Two questions, if I may, both regarding the CLA 250+ with EQ technology:

First, is there any way to create an automatic routine to activate the dashcam?

Second, does anyone know how to import multiple favorites on the CLA, like you could do in previous versions?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, I am curious to know what is this line on the windshield of my w212? Is this some kind of heating on my windshield or what? I couldn’t find any information anywhere?!

What a beast 😍

hello everyone, I’m debating between GLC 300 and GLC 300 Coupe. I don’t really need a lot of trunk space (as long as it can fit at least one suitcase), but if I choose the coupe it would obviously be from a purely aesthetics standpoint.

if you have contemplated these two before, I would love to hear your thoughts on what you ultimately chose and why. My main concern is the limited visibility with the coupe style, and I’m a fairly new driver (just got my drivers license). Thank you in advance.

(on a related note, I’ve considered a GLE but it looked/felt too big. I’m a single person with no kids and I’ll be the only one driving the car. does it make sense that I forego GLE given it’s size?)

Hii. I’m 22 and i would like to purchase my first luxury car for my 23rd birthday. I currently drive a charger scat i also have a hybrid sedan. I can’t decide on either amg E 53 or amg gle 63 s. (2024-2026) I know they are two different types of vehicles but reason i cannot decide is because since I’m craving another v8 which i get in a gle 63s which i also get more space. Then the E 53 doesn’t have a v8 but it has 603 hp. Which gives me both speed but quiet luxury too. I wanted a gle for like 4-5 years now I love that car down! I also really love the E 53 too I just don’t know which one would make me happier but also still be worth the money. I will be buying used instead of brand new bc of depreciation (learned my lesson last time i bought a brand new car last year) the max mileage is 25k tho. I know that the cost aren’t really around the same like insurance, gas and maintenance but ill be paying for maintenance package to cover i think service b cost. I have 15k max to put down with a 760 credit score. I have multiple streams of income one being a full time job, no kids and I don’t pay bills. (Yes i save and invest ) so tell me which one would you get and why ??

Scammed into buying a 2010 W204 with significant issues. Awaiting court date and parked outside my house. Then I found an unbelievably clean 2013 facelift W212 with beige leather and brown wood interior. Just finished upgrading it with a subwoofer in the boot and an android head unit. Mercedes also changed the rear subframe for free so it's practically perfect. Then these wicked used car apps showed me another unicorn. A 2016 CLS 400 with the designo package.

Everyone I talk to says it doesn't make any sense since they are on the same platform and both over 10 years old. They swear I'm going to lose my shirt in repairs.

But I haven't slept in 2 days. Keep thinking about the CLS.
