Mercedes-Benz detailed Information

 

As a review, here is a summary of the meanings of the Mercedes-Benz models as a review.

     

Five Core Models – A, B, C, E, and S

 

GL Prefix – SUV models, such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Mercedes-Benz GLA

 

CL Prefix – 4-door-coupes, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLA and Mercedes-Benz CLS

 

SL Prefix – Roadsters, such as the Mercedes-Benz SLC and Mercedes-Benz SL.

The current Mercedes-Benz classes (and types of the model within) are as broken down in the table below.



The “Class” system for Mercedes only came about in 1972 with the arrival of their W116 car, which they created the S-Class for. The S-Class was launched in order to introduce a series of flagship cars.

In 1994, the manufacturer changed the nomenclature of their cars, so a model would be named by a letter, and followed by up to three digits.

This alphanumerical system was to categorise the cars better. The old system saw the letter represent the class it belonged to, and the numbers represented the engine’s displacement in litres multiplied by 100. This would follow a suffix of letters, which indicated body style and engine type.

According to Mercedes, the old alphanumerical system was as follows:

  •          “C” indicated a coupe or cabriolet body style
  •          “D” indicates the vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine.
  •          “E” (for “Einspritzung”) indicates the vehicle’s engine is equipped with petrol fuel injection.
  •          “G” was originally used for the Geländewagen off-road vehicle, but is now applied to Mercedes SUVs in general (for example, the GLA and GLK).
  •          “K” was used in the 1930s, indicating a supercharger (“Kompressor”) equipped engine.
  •          “L” indicates “Leicht” (lightweight) for sporting models and “Lang” (long-wheelbase) for sedan models.
  •          “R” indicates “Rennen” (racing), used for racing cars (for example, the 300SLR).
  •          “S” Sonderklasse “Special class” for flagship models, including the S-Class, and the SL-Class, SLR McLaren and SLS sports cars.
  •                “T” indicates “Touring” and an estate (or station wagon) body style

In Mercedes’s new system, letters were designated to mean the following:

A-Class – Hatchback

B-Class – Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV)

C-Class – Saloon, Estate & Coupé

CL-Class – Luxury Coupé

CLA-Class – 4 Door Coupé

CLS-Class – 4 Door Coupé

E-Class – Saloon, Estate, Coupé and Cabriolet

G-Class – Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)

GL-Class – Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)

GLA-Class – Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)

GLK-Class – Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)

M-Class – Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)

R-Class – Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV)
