Information About

Mercedes-benz Mlk-class




Mercedes-Benz has planned to assemble a Compact Crossover SUV to compete with the Acura RDX , BMW X3 , Lexus RX the Land Rover Freelander and the future Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60 . The name of this series is not yet known, but DaimlerChrysler has already made preparations to use "X-Class". According to Autobild, it should rather be called '''MLK-Class''', K standing for ''Kurz'' (short).

It is speculated that the MLK-Class will share the upcoming C-Class (W204) platform, and production plans continued after the demise of the similar Smart Formore . Later, a compact Off-roader (the G-Class ?) may be built on the same platform. In 2005 , it was announced that the vehicle will be built in Bremen , Germany , rather than at the company's Juiz De Fora , Brazil factory as had been expected.

The GL was launched in 2006 to compete with Range Rover and some US brands.
