From the 'this isn't April Fools Day' file, Mercedes-Benz is considering splitting its SUV lineup into two parts; those with off-road capabilities and those without.

According to Automotive News, the company is planning to this after they launch a production version of the Concept Coupé SUV which will compete with the BMW X6. The new model is expected to arrive sometime next year.

"The Concept Coupe SUV previews a four-door, coupe-styled model that will appeal to customers who want a sportily designed vehicle with a high seating position, " said Thomas Weber, Mercedes-Benz's r&d chief.

Weber also hinted that a coupe-styled version of the new GLA-Class crossover.

    SUV coupes are dumb, but Mercedes version does look better than the X6. I imagine about 95% of SUV buyers of any brand don't go off road, the GLK doesn't need to have off road capability, nor does the GLA. The M-class is debatable, I would say it does because you need something that goes off road that isn't $100k like the G-wagen.

    This is what I said on twitter about this:

    Mercedes-Benz is planning to do a lineup of On-Road SUVs in the near future.

    Isn’t that Mercedes-Benz’s current SUV lineup right now?
