SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle. SUVs combine elements of purely on-road vehicles with features of off-road vehicles, such as higher ground clearance and a raised roof line. SUVs are generally more spacious and versatile than conventional passenger cars and combine the best elements of both. Mercedes-Benz has significantly shaped the luxury SUV segment by combining performance with elegance.

The boot capacity of Mercedes-Benz SUVs varies depending on the model and drive type (combustion engine, electric), but is typically 500–600 litres with five people on board and loading up to the luggage compartment cover. The all-electric GLB offers an additional 127-litre frunk and the GLC an additional 128-litre frunk for extra storage versatility. This combination offers ample space and flexibility for luggage and everyday needs.

A crossover is a vehicle that, in most cases, combines visual elements of compact cars and SUVs on a conventional platform. SUVs, on the other hand, are characterized by higher ground clearance, a more robust platform, more powerful engines, and often off-road capability. They also typically offer a more spacious interior, larger storage compartments, and allow for higher towing capacities.

SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle, while CUV stands for Crossover Utility Vehicle. In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably, as modern CUVs combine the elevated driving position and spaciousness of traditional SUVs with the refined on-road handling of passenger cars. Mercedes-Benz excels in both categories, creating luxury vehicles that seamlessly blend versatility, performance, and elegance, regardless of terminology.
