Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV in 3D Looks a Bit Porky

Now that both the Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV and the first pre-production prototypes of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz MLC have arrived on our computer screens, maybe it's time to go back at the concept car and give it a more thorough look from all angles.
Since the videos of the model are a bit on the glamorous side and the photos only show it from certain angles, the best way to have a look at its proportions from more than one angle is to either have it parked before your eyes or have a small scale model of it in front of you.

Until either of these two options becomes viable, you are left with a short video of a 3D rendering that depicts the actual Concept Coupe SUV spinning on a single axis.

Boring? Maybe, but keep in mind that the peeps behind the 3D rendering are actually doing it for profit, and these types of short videos are the best way in which they can market their work. On top of it, you can finally see the Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV in a 360 degrees fashion.

While the press photos presented the car in a somewhat more favorable light, watching it spin from above kind of makes us tag it with the “soft-bellied fatso” moniker, which brings us to the production MLC version.

If recent spy photographs of the upcoming “five-door coupe SUV” from Mercedes-Benz are any indication of its overall proportions, the “fatness” observed in the video below should disappear, but we are still a little under a year away from knowing for sure.

The Mercedes-Benz MLC is expected to be revealed either at the 2015 North American International Auto Show or just a few months later, with production to take place on the same line as its brothers – the M-Class and the GL-Class – which will also lend most of their engine lineup to the BMW X6-fighter from Stuttgart.
