A classic name moves to another dimension

What’s new?

Mercedes has realigned its naming structure to something more straightforward. If it starts with ’GL’ then it’s an SUV, while the suffix (C, E, or S, mirroring the saloon range) defines the size. With this shift comes a new GLE that’s actually half the old ML, with the chassis, parts of the bodywork and the suspension carried over. But a new interior and lower emissions, plus a plug-in hybrid option, add new dimensions to consider.
