Mercedes-Benz never stops looking for another crevice to fill in the world’s car markets, and one of the German carmaker’s next must-have models is the compact GLB SUV.

Joining the GLA, GLC, GLE and GLS SUVs, the GLB (codenamed ‘X247’) will reportedly step outside the Benz box with styling more akin to the rugged G-Class off-roader - if it were shrunk in the carwash.

The UK’s Autocar reports that Mercedes is looking to capitalise on the sales-momentum currently enjoyed by most carmakers churning out compact SUVs. 

In Australia, however, the small SUV market under forty grand is actually down 9.2 percent to the end of February, and in the same market over $40,000, it’s down 7.7 percent.

The upper end is where Mercedes-Benz’s GLA-Class is a player, but it was outsold last month by the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3.
