Mercedes Concept Coupe SUV to take on the BMW X6

Mercedes_Concept_Coupe_SUV

Yet another Beijing debutant has been announced, this time the Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV. With this reveal, one of the world’s worst kept secrets is out – Stuttgart is hard at work on a big coupe-like SUV to take on the BMW X6. We all know it was inevitable, but at least pretend to be surprised now, everyone.

Design wise, we see a lot of the new GLA compact SUV and even the S-Class Coupe in the Mercedes Concept Coupe SUV. Following the German marque’s recent turn of form (see the earlier GLA and S-Class Coupe concepts), expect most of the styling elements you see here to make it to the production version.

The upcoming production model should carry the much-rumoured MLC nameplate, and be based on the platform used by the current W166 ML-Class. Munich’s original coupe SUV (which is up for a timely update very soon) won’t be short on rivals, as Audi will soon have its own Q6 lined up too. Game on, then.

    From this profile, it does look like X6 though…cut and paste from X6 and put in A class face and SL grille and voila…Merz own suv coupe…hip hip hooray…but one thing for sure when it comes to SUV, Merz is a total flop…xcept for G-wagon which is a collector’s item…maybe they should just skip this category and focus more on the entry level…as it is the E class is a taxi in most part of Europe…its mpv is also a big failure…

      Yes Mercedes are used as Taxi’s around the world because if they used BMW the passengers will never reach their destination due to the BMW Breakdown rate !!

      Baru Masuk Workshop = BMW !
