Mercedes-Benz’s recently adopted renaming strategy aligns each of its crossovers and SUVs more closely with the brand’s sedan models in terms of marketing, although some are more closely related mechanically than others. The CLA- and GLA-classes, for example, are very similar, while the GLE- and E-class models are rather more different. The relationship between this vehicle, the all-new 2016 GLC-class, and the sweet new C-class is more like the former than the latter, so you can think of it as a C-class on stilts.
