Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

I expect the M264 in that car, but probably transversely mounted.

I saw this in Stuttgart yesterday, is this the new C class?

 

[leylandi]

Yes C class EQ

 

[Uygar]

Yeah the Big G is not losing sales anytime soon, we should close this chapter now.

Exactly. It’s ridiculous to even think that tbh. Ranger Rover’s lineup is a great example of this.

It's almost like we're seeing two different test mules. This one looks terrible, but the previous one didn't. On another issue, I wonder if Mercedes would ever consider a bigger SUV to sit above the GLS?

That would be one gargantuan SUV. I don’t think they would consider such vehicle though, maybe something USA exclusive, cause GLS is already so big for Europe standards.

 

[Uygar]

The rear is still a question mark. The car sometimes looks too bulky, sometimes too athletic. It might look good from the side, but I have little hope for the rear.

I’m pretty certain that it will be very similar to the GLC. I think that taillight design will spread across the whole SUV and EQ range as well. GLE and GLS are also getting that with the FL.

 

[lukeswiss]

Yes C class EQ

Can't believe I missed my turn off because I had to follow a C-Class.

Or to increase the size of the GLS, TBH it’s too big for Europe and way too small for the USA.

As I said on another thread, the GLS should grow 12 inch’s. The real competitor is the incredibly successful Escalade.

Yeah the GLS should grow taller and slightly longer.
Current dimensions :
• Length - 5209mm
• Height - 1823mm
• Width - 1956mm (No mirrors)
The next GLS should be at least 5400mm length, 1900mm height & 2050mm wide without mirrors.

it is the S-class SUV after all so it should be ‘Grosser’ . Another thing is that it must be different from the GLE & share anything that the next S-class will have.

The GLS is fine as it is. What they need is a bigger G.

That's huge and would make the car near impractical to live with in many places in Europe. It unlikely that MB would produce such a big car unless it was a pickup or commercial vehicle.

That’s so petite. I think it should be at least 6000mm in length, 2200mm in height & 2500mm wide without mirrors.

This wouldn't fit on any European street lmao.

I’m literally joking mate.

 

[Uygar]

E-Class EV render. I think this might be pretty close.

 

[leylandi]

Nice

 

[Design FIRST]

Can't say that I particularly care for the rear door glass and the extention into the C-pillars. Partition creases obstruct the visual flow and are simply not very elegant. The W214 has this element down pat.

With recent spyshots of the next BMW X7 & Audi Q9 i’d say they’re pretty much gonna have those exact dimensions, Making the GLS look small.

So they need to move the GLS more upmarket, bigger in size & start treating it like an S-class SUV instead of a stretched GLE.

Well it will always be an extended GLE, just like how the X7 is an extended X5.
