When you will share what you know?

... regarding GLB, its placed between GLA & GLC but size wise closer to GLC, looks similar to GLS, its seven seater, engine range from small car range like A-B Classes. Thats what he dosclosed on these SUVs

A friend from Paris send me this one, news on new GLB published in a local magazine. Rendering look promising.

Fiat Multiplia meets Nissan Cube.

This is an accurate render as I spoke with someone who saw it at dealer meetings.
Disregard others.

 

[Merc1]

That is actually good looking. So lets see: GLA, GLB, GLC, EQ C, GLE, GLS, and G lol.

its looks nice, but why for 7 persons? i mean, Gls or Q7 are somehow comfortable for 7 and no space for 3 language but this Glb is 2 class under

The Q7 and GLS are way too expensive to buy and run, as well as too big for some customers. If you only occasionally need a third row so that grand parents can travel in the same car as two parents and 2 kids, then the Discovery Sport, Skoda Kodiaq and Huyndai Santa Fe is good enough. The GLB will be another "affordable" 7 seater SUV.

 

[Srbb]

Yes, but doesn't Kodiaq and Santa fe are bigger and a 7 seater is more comfortable for the kids? If you want 7 seater and you are on a budget buy one of the above mention...whats next, because of the price we will see in the near future an GLA 7 seater or a Q3 7 seater?
But lets see the car firs, maybe it will be 4.8m long and it will ok'ish for kids

The Kodiaq and Santa Fee are just under 4.7M. Cheap entry level 7 seater SUVs by BMW and Audi are certainly a possibility. It doesn't matter whether interior quality will be lesser than the Q5 or GLC. As long as the car has the right badge, 7 seats and a decent price then it will sell.

Families with 3-4 kids who enjoy holiday travel by car will obviously not waste their time with these faux 7 seaters and just buy a minivan or MPV.

Agreed, but still i am curious to see this GLB and GLA, hope this year

Plenty of SUVs in the US that have a 3rd seat but really shouldn't. Much of these are jump seats and only small children just out of child seats would fit. This will be on the extended platform and have a longer rear overhang to accommodate.

That’s true, when A-Class Sedan & GLB hit the market it’ll be difficult for CLA & GLA to keep up the pace as both A sedan & GLB more practical in all means.

The GLB is the X1 and the GLA is the X2, it's not that hard to understand. CLA and A sedan share a platform, it is an economy of scale and sales are maintained .....
Niches = if I do not doing, someone else will

Interesting that is the mini G-Wagon I said GLB should be. But if we compare actual pictures of the undisguised scoop to that render they are not the same.

 

[hovabongZA]

The rear looks good .

 

[Rolf]

It reminds me a bit like the previous GLK, upright square practical look, I kinda like.

I mean that's been the strong rumor for almost 4 years now lol
