Mercedes-Benz will preview a Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show later this month. The concept will serve as a rival for the BMW X6 which has been on sale since 2008.

Mercedes-Benz has provided the image above, but has remained tight lipped on specification details of the concept.

However it’s rumoured the three-pointed star company will be previewing the long-awaited MLC SUV which is set to go into production sometime in 2015.

“The sportily styled coupe study with the added value of an SUV provides a realistic glimpse of a series-production vehicle expected next year, which will boast very dynamic handling,” said Daimler chief Dieter Zetsche.

“With the Concept Coupe SUV we aim to secure new customers by opening up new segments for Mercedes-Benz. We see a great deal of potential for Mercedes-Benz in the combination of coupe and SUV. We will be officially unveiling the Concept Coupe SUV in just under two weeks at the Beijing Auto Show.”

More photos and details will become available when the model debuts on April 20 at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show.
