Hmmm...More upright and more SUV for the ubiquitous,inevitable GLA Coupe?

But I thought the GLA was the low-slung one to begin with, battling the X2, while the high and square GLB is being launched to battle the second-gen X1

I'm thinking the new GLA will go head on with the X1/Q3.

The GLA coupe will battle the X2/Q3 Spotsback

The GLB will have no direct premium rival...yet.

What’s this GLA Coupe nonsense? The GLA is already the coupe version the the GLB. They can’t possibly derive another model with even less cargo and rear passenger head room.

So this could be the GLB Coupe?

So this could be the GLB Coupe?

Even thought its dated, you can see the initial plan:

I think the new GLA will be an X1 type vehicle with similar practicality, and the GLA coupe with be the current car with a sportier design.

It looks basically like a pumped up A-class, which is how the current GLA looks like. So nothing has changed.

2020 Mercedes GLA Rumored For September Debut In Frankfurt

The flagship GLA 45 S will come at a later date with 416 horsepower.
The first-ever GLB isn’t the only new compact SUV from Mercedes to debut this year as a new report indicates we’ll also get to see the second-generation GLA. While the boxy model previewed last month by a namesake concept at Auto Shanghai in China will be revealed in production form sometime this summer, the most affordable SUV from Daimler is expected to make an appearance this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.


If the report published by Autocar is to be believed, we might end up seeing the new GLA online a few days before its IAA premiere, some six years after the original model’s debut at the very same show. Going up against the likes of the Audi Q2 and the BMW X2, the next generation of Mercedes’ entry-level SUV should follow just about the same recipe as the current version by essentially being a jacked-up A-Class hatchback with some mild SUV touches. This time around, it won’t serve as the basis for a new Infiniti QX30 as Nissan’s premium brand has admitted the current GLA-based model is “not a very successful product,” which is why its replacement will be all-Infiniti.

Mercedes models sharing largely the same interior cabin, it should be a similar story with the second-gen GLA. Just look at the A-Class, B-Class or CLA-Class models to get an idea of what to expect from the dashboard layout, which will also have quite a lot in common with the upcoming GLB.


The oily bits are pretty much known already, with a turbocharged 1.3-liter gasoline engine co-developed with the Renault-Nissan alliance to power the lesser versions of the range and a larger 2.0-liter for the higher-end models. Customers will get to pick from manual and automatic transmissions along with a choice between a front- and an all-wheel-drive layout.

Wtf is with threads on this forum, this is second car that has "2020" in title but recent news says that it will debut in 2019?

 

[tristatez28lt1]

My bad , it should state MY2020

 

[tahar]

 

[Merc1]

Nope. Clearly that is just a mutated GLB.

That render looks like the GLB and GLC mixed in the washing machine on the wrong spin cycle. Dont think it will look like that lol

Looks to have grown a bit compared to the current one and seems to sit bit higher.. Nice to see it with the A in the back ground.

 

[Merc1]

The only thing left for them to do with the MFA platform is a small roadster, the SLA. Remember the concept from many years ago? I think it's time.
