MERCEDES-BENZ BUILDING X6 KILLER CALLED MLC IN THE US?

A story published by Automotive News Europe says that Mercedes-Benz really is developing a BMW X6 competitor. If true this piece of news would confirm an earlier rumour concerning the same issue. The vehicle would be built at Daimler’s US plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and feature a coupe-like rear profile.


The platform would of course be the same as the new ML-Class. Speculation is that the vehicle will be badged MLC-Class. Engines would be exactly the same as the ML, including a 4.7-litre twin turbo petrol with 320kW and the 5.5-litre twin turbo V8 making 400kW for a supposed MLC 63 AMG.
