Two compact class SUVs – the GLA and GLB – both of which arrived in recent weeks, are likely to be strong contenders at the entry level. The GLA comes with added interior spaciousness and boot volume. The GLB has amongst its features the option of a 7-seat version, the first Mercedes-Benz in its class to offer such a choice. Prices start at €42,350. Future SUV arrivals will include a new GLE Coupé and GLS.
Other new arrivals will include two of the most important models in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio – an updated E-Class, scheduled to arrive in July, and a new top-of-the-range S-Class, billed to make its appearance towards year-end.
First hybrids to arrive here will be the E300de and the E300e saloon and estate models – both likely to be mainstays of the new updated E-Class model offering.
The recently-established Mercedes EQ division is expected to introduce a 16-strong line-up of hybrid vehicles – their new generation compact cars, the C-Class, GLC and GLE ranges amongst them.
