Mercedes-Benz Planning BMW X6 SUV Rival: Report

Mercedes-Benz has reportedly signed off on a new coupe-styled SUV to directly rival the BMW X6.

Speaking with Car And Driver, two unnamed yet “high-level” Mercedes-Benz executives have reportedly given the M-Class based X6 rival the green light.

In justifying the decision, one of the executives reportedly said the three-pointed star believes there will be sufficient demand for the crossover, particularly from US and Chinese markets.
