Breaking new ground

ONE way to get a quick idea of Mercedes-Benz's new range of renamed SUVs may be to think of the GLA, GLC and GLE as baby bear, mama bear and papa bear respectively.

Because for the brand with the three-pointed star, this means small, medium and big models to conveniently cater to each segment of the burgeoning SUV market.

And while there is no Goldilocks, there will be a big grandpa bear - the GLS, which was the old GL-Class and is still as huge.
