GLE [Spyshots] 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe

lOl, agreed, it`s all marketing hype. One name has to fit though, MLC just sounds spot on target.
Thay will call it a coupe because of the sharp roof line and the fact that it shares the same rear with the S-Coupe.

Looks like ML is going to be renamed as well. From MB passion

Can Mercedes-Benz in spring 2015 the "ML" to die? At least the model will receive a completely different name, the "ML Coupé" is differently named.

The model of "ML" is continued on all cases, only the name will change from model care. First details this morning – with us, where else? #W166 #C292

 

[Amat46]

I suspect the SUV lineup is going to be be

GLA, GLA Coupe
GLC (GLK), GLC coupe
GLE (ML), GLE coupe
GLS (GL), may be GLS coupe
G, GLG (City G)

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Renaming the ML would be a big move by Mercedes.

 

[Yaz]

Yea, especially now that it's a well known name.

 

[Merc1]

MLC is my vote/prediction.

From facelift on.

Some rumors from the link above:

GLX (new model line below the A-Class; vs. Audi Q1 / Mini Countryman)
GLX Coupé (vs. Audi Q2 / Mini Paceman)

GLA (vs. Audi Q3 / BMW X1)
GLA Coupé (vs. Q4 / X2)

GLB (city G, baby G, GLG)

GLC (ex-GLK; vs. Q5 / X3)
GLC Coupé (vs. Q6 / X4)

GLE (ex-M/ML; vs. Q7 / X5)
GLE Coupé (vs. Q8 / X6)

GLS (ex-GL; vs. Q9 / X7)
GLS Coupé (vs. Q10 / X8)

G (G remains G; no competition

[Section80]

When will they show this?

 

[Amat46]

So Wolf the rumoured city G is going to be GLX?

 

[Merc1]

You guys are off the rails with this stuff....

[Wolfgang]

So Wolf the rumoured city G is going to be GLX?

Thanks for the reminder. Added the GLB to the list.

 

[Yaz]

So this definitely means they're going to milk this generation of ML for another 7 years.

 

[Amat46]

Finally the SUV lineup names make sense.

There's still no official confirmation according to MB Passion, and it might be delayed until the successors appear?


Mercedes To Rename M-Class The ‘GLE’ In SUV Nameplate Shakeup: Report

Mercedes-Benz may be about to change the names of some of its most popular SUVs in an effort to harmonize the various nameplates ahead of the rollout of several all-new high-riding models. According to reports out of Germany, the transition will start with the facelifted M-Class due out later this year as a 2015 model.

According to Auto Motor und Sport, the facelifted M-Class will be renamed the GLE-Class, helping to align it with the E-Class in Mercedes’ hierarchy of models. Then, for the 2016 model year, Mercedes will launch its BMW X6 rival, which instead of being an M-Class Coupe, as currently thought, will be labeled the GLE-Class Coupe.

The next-generation GLK-Class will also be affected, with its name said to be changed to GLC-Class to align it with the C-Class. It's expected to be launched late next year, as a 2016 model. If a version with coupe-like styling is launched, expect this model to be called the GLC-Class Coupe.

There’s been no mention if the G-Class and GL-Class models will also be affected. While it’s likely the G-Class will keep its name due to its iconic status, it’s possible the GL-Class gets rebranded a GLS-Class to align it with the S-Class family. At the other end of the spectrum sits the GLA, aligned with Mercedes' A-Class.

Stay tuned for an update.
