The two-row GLC crossover is smaller than the GLE, and it stands apart with its smoothly contoured sides and sporty, tapered roof. The nose has an athletic, premium look with a chrome-accented, ovular grille and a metallic outline around the lower-front fascia. The headlights also have a dramatic quality with an angled LED accent. The three-row GLE has a taller, more extended roof with a raked rear. The sides stand out with deeper contouring and a crisp accent. At the front end, the lower fascia has horizontal accent bars, while the grille displays vertical accents. The headlights are also distinctive, with a pair of bent LED bars.
