Mercedes-Benz is overhauling the names and nomenclature used to identify its vehicles as it prepares for the launch of 30 models, including 11 all-new vehicles, by 2020.
Along with the new models planned, Mercedes said the changes are being made as the company prepares to introduce new body variants and drive systems.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Code concept could preview the look of a rival to Audi’s Q1, media reports said.
In recent years a number of non-German global brands have challenged the solid grip that Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz maintain on China’s luxury car market. But until now, none of them has put any noticeable competitive pressure on the three leading brands, to say nothing about shaking their iron grasp on the market.
BMW Group’s core brand outsold rivals Audi and Mercedes-Benz in September thanks to strong demand in Europe, but the gap between the three luxury car brands has narrowed this year in a fierce sales race.
BMW said that sales of its namesake brand rose 6 percent last month to 167,584, beating its two competitors. Audi sales rose 6 percent to 159,950 in the same period, while Mercedes’ brand jumped 14 percent to 162,746.
