Here are Mercedes-Benz's Upcoming Products

Manufacturers are usually trying to keep their future plans secret; obviously, it wouldn’t be very good for them if their competitors knew what they were planning.

Sadly for Mercedes-Benz, Autocar just uncovered a planning sheet showing what they have in development for the next few years.

There are a few unsurprising new products: for example, a refresh of the S-Class makes sense, like the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet.

Others weren’t as expected: the arrival of a four-door, EV-powered Smart as well as a "coupe" version of the GLA weren’t on our radar. The Mercedes-Benz pickup truck, which was announced earlier this year, has now been confirmed for 2017.

Finally, there will also be an All-Terrain version of the E-Class Wagon. Just like the Volvo XC60, this vehicle should be raised by a few centimetres and feature plastic fender extenders.
