GLB [Renders] 2019 Mercedes GLB

[tristatez28lt1]

We all knew this was coming sooner or later. Apparently that is 2019.
- 4.50 m
- possible 7 seats
- next gen A class is the platform

 

[Fido]

Horrible...

 

[far2000]

WTH......Why....?

 

[tristatez28lt1]

Because they can and it completes the set
BMW: X1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Audi: Q1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
MB: GLA, B, C, Coupe, E, Coupe, S

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Makes sense. The GLA is too low and too much like a hatchback on stilts for many.

How is this gonna seat 7 when the GLC barely seats 5..?

As they always to, they put 7 seats inside and it is up to the users to figure out how they fit everyone inside.

Plus it will be FWD transversely based, so interior space will benefit on a longer wheel base

I like this box design. A small G-Class.

 

[tristatez28lt1]

Autobild renders and info:

- 5 seater and 7 seater variants (has 120mm longer wheelbase)
- Design wise it is a smaller G-Class
- E-class interior tech. touchpad steering wheel, dual screens

 

[PHYBENZ]

Rear has some GLK. Gotta say the facelift GLK still looks great on the road, and I like the design of the GLC that I find very bland.

 

[domleo999]

Will this be transversely, FWD based?

 

[Monster]

Will this be transversely, FWD based?

Most likely given it will be based on the next gen A class platform.

Looks wise, that would have been a more consistent evolution of the GLK. Why not just keep the GLK moniker?

Because that would be completely random in Mercedes' naming hierarchy. Besides, the GLK is gone at this point anyways.

MB Passion is working on a 2019 X247 - mini-G rumor article, which may be published next week.

New 2019 Mercedes GLB leads brand’s biggest ever new-model push

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

That would sell like crazy!
