Spy photos: Mercedes Benz compact SUV

BMW already has one. Audi has said that it's working on one too. So it's no surprise that Mercedes Benz is developing a compact SUV of its own.

I've seen pictures of a heavily disguised prototype on the Nurburgring before, but these pictures are even more definitive as they show a next-generation C-Class body riding on high clearance, all-wheel drive platform. Like BMW's X3 which uses the compact 3 Series sedan as its basis, Mercedes' compact SUV will rely heavily on C-Class hardware. Expect to see this new SUV make its debut sometime next year.
