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.
