Mercedes wants some of the market dominated by the likes of the X6, Range Rover Sport and the Porsche Cayenne

MERCEDES appears to be testing the waters for the a possible new SUV coupe model – at least if the appearance of a new design study – the Mercedes Concept Coupe SUV – at the recent New York Auto Show is anything to go by.

Previous Mercedes off-roaders have tended towards the angular and rugged, but the company can’t have failed to notice the success of sportier SUVs such as Porsche’s Cayenne and the Range Rover Sport, not to mention BMW’s aggressively styled X6.

Mercedes already has experience of stretching the concept of what constitutes a coupe with its four-door CLS and CLA models, and now it seems to be doing the same with the Concept Coupe SUV.

At a length of five metres, the concept car is pretty big, although its roofline height of 1.75 metres is quite low for an SUV of this size, as befits its coupe ambitions.
