Mercedes to change naming scheme of its SUV lineup
Posted by Mansoor A. Bukhari on Sep 3, 2014
It is about time Mercedes agreed that their naming convention is too confusing in case of SUVs and it requires a change. With the advent of GLA – based on A-class, the next-gen M-Class will carry the new GLE badge when it goes on sale next year. This is a good move and helps customers understand what market segment that particular SUV is catering to. Soon, the GLK will be replaced with GLC and the range-topping GL will carry the GLS badge. Moreover, the SUV coupe Concept unveiled earlier will likely carry the GLE Coupe badge as it competes with the BMW X6. Only, the G-Wagen will retain its badge for now.
