Mercedes-Benz SUV and Crossover Lineup Naming Changes
Many of the exciting new SUVs and crossovers in the Mercedes-Benz family have seen changes to their nomenclature. While every Mercedes-Benz SUV and Crossover has a model designation that begins with the letter “G,” there are subtle changes that can help you identify which Mercedes-Benz is right for you. They include:
- The Mercedes-Benz GL is now the Mercedes-Benz GLS
- The Mercedes-Benz ML is now the Mercedes-Benz GLE
- The Mercedes-Benz GLK is now the Mercedes-Benz GLC
The names of the Mercedes-Benz GLA and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class have remained. Please note that the Mercedes-Benz GLE and Mercedes-Benz GLC come in SUV and “Coupe” variants.
Mercedes-Benz Core Model Series Names
You have plenty of options when you shop for a new Mercedes-Benz, and many of our core series models have not experienced recent name changes. You can still drive home in stylish new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class and S-Class Coupes, Cabriolets and Sedans that will let you own the open road while indulging in modern technology. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is also available in Wagon style. Looking for an electric vehicle? The Mercedes-Benz B-Class provides efficiency and class in equal measure.
Mercedes-Benz 4 Door Coupe Lineup Names
As is the case with the Core Model Series, the Mercedes-Benz 4 Door Coupe lineup has been unaffected by recent name changes. Both the Mercedes-Benz CLS and CLA are available and provide incredible luxury, style and comfort in compact yet spacious packages.
Updated Mercedes-Benz Roadster Names
Own the road with style and strength behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz Roadster. Our two Roadster models offer unparalleled power, cutting-edge technologies and sleek exteriors that are sure to turn heads wherever you go. Our new nomenclature sees the Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster remain unchanged. However, there is one update to the Mercedes-Benz Roadster lineup:
- The Mercedes-Benz SLK is now the Mercedes-Benz SLC
