Another evoque rival from mercedes?
A mercedes soft roader. Maybe a rival for the evoque at the lower end of the model range.
I think it looks very nice, if the car magazine pic is accurate.

The Evoque looks like nothing else, this looks like a Mercedes which makes it old news.

RE: Another evoque rival from mercedes?
Is that not the new A class merc? Take off the Mercedes grille and it would be a Vauxhall Astra.................
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Another evoque rival from mercedes?
I’m not really sure where Mercedes are going stylistically these days.
This car is based on the new A Class which looks OK ....... but is very much a pastiche of the BMW 1 Series / Opel Astra / Seat Leon. The new B Class adopts the same lower upswept dent / kink .... but it looks like a 1st year design student implemented it. This Faux-x-4 design seems to be a halfway house between A and B .... and I’m not keen.
Maybe I'm not the target audience but CLS apart, most current versions of MB's range look more dated and clumsy than the cars they replace..... SL included.

I agree, as I probably would have to as I've got the previous version of the SL (without the 'macho' grille - ugh!).

Looks more like a hatchback to me. Whatever it is it's based on the new A class.
