Very good. "Next year"? Model year? Calendar year? These things are always cloaked in mystery.
The big question: Where will the AdBlue tank go? In the spare well a la E-Class sedans thereby removing the spare tire and forcing the dreaded run flat tires on an unwilling public? Or in a properly designed location outside the spare well thus preserving the spare tire? Inquiring minds want to know.

Treble YUCK! 
They have only had 3 years to figure out a proper solution. They didn't do it for the flagship E-Class BlueTec. I reckon the baby SUV won't be any different. The added cost of run flat tires will negate any gains with the diesel engine. The general buying public won't get it. I get it.
Much ado about nothing. Neither of the two new engines appeal to me. I'm content with what we have.
