Welcome to a lightly concept-ified version of a car you"ll be able to buy quite soon. Probably. Called the GLB, this little SUV will - rather predictably - sit between the GLA and GLC in Merc"s line-up of SUVs, which also includes the GLE, GLS and G-Class. One of many, many cars that shares a platform with the A-Class hatchback (alongside the B-Class mini-MPV and CLA four-door coupe thing), Mercedes says the GLB "places the emphasis on spaciousness and robustness", not "progressive driving enjoyment" and "coupe-like lines", which is what the GLA takes care of. So it has seven seats - a first on this platform. The middle row can slide 50mm backwards or 90mm forwards from its default position, to maximise either second- or third-row legroom, and the backrests are adjustable through eight positions. Access to the third-row is via levers on top of the outer second-row seats. That"s spaciousness covered off.
