Mercedes-Benz is planning to add yet another SUV to its lineup soon. The German carmaker has been testing the SUV in Europe and a camouflaged boxy-looking test mule was spotted recently for the first time. According to the international press, Mercedes-Benz had filed a trademark for the 바카라˜GLB바카라™ name recently. Going by Mercedes바카라™ latest nomenclature system, the new SUV will slot in between the GLA and the GLC.
Though information about the GLB is scarce at the moment, the SUV is expected to be based on the same platform as the upcoming fourth-generation A-Class, which is set to make its debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in March. The GLB will be substantially bigger than the new A-Class and even the upcoming second-gen GLA, which will continue to be based on the hatchback바카라™s platform.
The heavily disguised test mule suggests that the Mercedes-Benz GLB will have a boxy profile. Although Mercedes바카라™ sedans look like carbon copies of each other, it바카라™s SUVs such as the GLA, GLC, GLE, the GLS and the iconic G-Class feature distinguishable designs. The GLB will definitely add more flavour to Mercedes바카라™ SUV lineup as it is likely to feature design cues from the G-Class along with a few modern touches.
Will it come to India? Why not! The GLA is currently priced at Rs 31.72 lakh, while the GLC retails for Rs 51.73 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom New Delhi). That바카라™s a significant price difference of approximately Rs 20 lakh. Hence, we believe there바카라™s enough space for the GLB to settle in comfortably in Mercedes바카라™ SUV lineup. What do you think?
