In May 1992, these plans were abandoned citing technical problems and Mercedes-Benz continued on with in-house development from January 1993. Plans were made to base it on the MonteroPajero platform, with one of them being badged as a Mercedes-Benz and the other a Mitsubishi. This is followed by the letter L that acts as a linkage with the letter Ethe GLE being the SUV equivalent to the E-Class.Ī joint agreement with Mitsubishi Motors to develop and produce a sports-utility vehicle was made in early 1991 and was confirmed publicly that June. The G is for Gelndewagen (German off land wagon for off-road vehicle ) and alludes the long-running G-Wagen.
Under this scheme, SUVs use the base name GL, followed by the models placement in Mercedes-Benz hierarchy. In terms of size, it is slotted in between the smaller GLC-Class (based on the C-Class ) and the larger GLS-Class, the latter with which it shares platforms.įrom late 2012, the M-Class was also assembled at new plants in India and Indonesia. 14 Quality improved over the years, especially after the facelift in 2001 for the 2002 model year.
13 Despite the accolades, Mercedes-Benz received considerable criticism with respect to the substandard quality of the W163, resulting in the car being nicknamed Alabama Trashcan. It also received the World Car Award in March 1999, voted by an international jury of automotive journalists in Geneva. The D6, for example, was announced to be in development in September 2019, and the full reveal happened in February 2020. Nikon tends to announce the development of its highest-end cameras this way, with full launches following a few months later. Nikon says the Z9 uses a newly developed full-frame sensor and a new image processing engine, with support for 8K video as well as various other video specifications that fulfill diverse needs and workflows.
