Mid-size SUV based on the C-Class, launched in 2015 as a regular wagon and then as a sloping-roofed Coupe. It replaced the boxy GLK, which was never built in right-hand drive, so for many markets this was the first Mercedes of its size and type. It has since become one of the company's biggest sellers worldwide.
