We used to refer to this upcoming BMW X6-rival as the ML Coupe or MLC, but now that Mercedes-Benz has decided to revamp its SUV naming scheme, we’ve no idea what it’ll end up being called.
Since the M-Class will be renamed the GLE, will this be a GLE Coupe like the other new Coupes in the line-up or will this be the GLS, following the CLS-Class name since it’s a four-door coupe? This new model was first introduced as a concept called the Mercedes-Benz Coupe SUV Concept at Beijing 2014.
Whatever it’s called, this is the first time we’ve seen Mercedes-Benz’s new four-door coupe SUV without the usual twirly sticker camo on the body – the body is completely naked save for protective covers on the front and rear that are typically used to protect the body during delivery.
It could mean that these are production units that are ready for shipping – could they be en route to the 2014 LA Auto Show for a world debut next month? If you look at the gallery below, you’ll notice another set of cars that still have the usual camo on – those are AMG versions of the car that are still undergoing testing.

So what is the whole point of this car??? just for the sake of copying BMW???
The point for this is to compete with bmw x6 or x4.Not bmw wannabe.
If you love flashy object and are hollow inside, this is the car for you. X6 and X4 not withstanding.
For the more discerning audience, get a Macan or Cayenne. None of this “Sport Activity Coupe” bull crap.
GLE 63 AMG perhaps?
look at the doors, its not even coupe compared to the one in the graphic drawings
Sporty vehicles must look wide and stable like a sportscar, cannot achieved 4s century sprint nevermind.
So, is it 2088 or 2188?
Please, good soundproof for road/tyre noise.
This will stack up well with Porsche Macan and RR Evoque.
Quite interesting these Germans.
They are all so obsessed with what each of them are doing that they end up all making the same car.
that just looks really gayy…
