Mercedes GLG on its way for 2015


 
  news 
 

We were just getting used to the idea that Mercedes was preparing a crossover based on their new A-Class platform and we are already learning that there in fact be two different crossovers based on the new A-Class family. The first crossover will be called the GLA and the second one will be the GLG. The GLG will actually be a baby version of the current G-Class and an off-road version of the GLA.

The first details suggest that the next GLG will feature a taller, more upright stance and design elements inspired by the G-Class. The model will be offered in a front-wheel drive configuration, but a 4Matic version is also being rumored. The engine line-up will be identical to the one used in the A-Class and will range from a base 1.6-liter with 122 HP up to a 211 HP 2.0 liter engine. An AMG version will also be offered. It will deliver about 350 HP and will be offered with stronger brakes, a seven-speed automatic gearbox, quicker steering, and a re-engineered front axle.

The new Mercedes GLG will be unveiled sometime in mid 2015 and will be just one of the ten all-new models planned by 2020.

i used to dislike the GLK at first, but it has grown on me. maybe this one will, too.

the 122 HP can be enough if coupled with a good torque. we shall see.

122 HP is quite few for such a car. the AMG version will be the one to hope for.

i saw the picture of the G class and i was hoping for a new one. this GLG sounds a little bit strange. hope it will be good though.

i love the classic shape of the G class. i hope the GLG will retain the same shape and be as classy as its bigger brother.

the A class seems to be used a lot. it will be the platform for the A class and the 2 other cross-overs. let’s hope mercedes know what it’s doing.

i was all excited up to the "front wheel drive" part. and 1.6 liter is a little engine one.
