With Mercedes all set to change its naming scheme across the board, the GLK will soon become the GLC. Along with this change comes the debut of a new niche SUV dubbed the GLC Coupe, which will battle with the 2015 BMW X4. Though these coupe-style SUVs don’t deliver traditional SUV-like hauling capabilities and they have limited rear headroom, buyers keep giving automakers reasons to build them. At the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz debuted a near-production-ready concept version of the GLC Coupe.

The crossover we’ll eventually find in showrooms will likely debut at either the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show or 2016 Detroit Auto Show, but until that happens let’s take a closer look at the preview Mercedes unveiled in China.
Updated 01/05/2016: Our spy photographers caught the production version of the upcoming GLC Coupe out for a new testing session. As you can see the car begins to remove its camouflage meaning that an official debut should happen shortly. Rumors suggest we will see it at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
