Mercedes-Benz GLK Replacement Will Come in “Coupe” Form, Too

Concept GLC Coupé

As BMW does, Mercedes-Benz must do. And vice versa, of course. So, given the fact that BMW is now selling its X3 SUV additionally in X4 "coupe" guise, it naturally follows that Mercedes-Benz will be introducing a fastback coupe version of its compact SUV too.

When it goes in for its redesign, the Mercedes-Benz GLK will not only emerge with a new nameplate, GLC, but a new coupe companion. Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche announced the latter at the company's recent annual meeting in Berlin, at which time the sketch above was released.

Daimler's moves in the compact-crossover class follow those it made in the mid-size class, where the former M-class has morphed into the new GLE and spawned a GLE Coupe offshoot.

While the regular GLC is expected to be sleeker than today's boxy GLK, Mercedes apparently believes that it can also create an even-swoopier version sufficient to merit a "Coupe" designation. We expect to see the standard GLC debut this fall as the rear-drive GLC300 and the GLC300 4MATIC, with the GLC "Coupe" to follow.
