To me, it's a "pretty small" SUV that feels like a much bigger SUV when you're driving it (but in a good way).
My recent test was getting a 65" TV home, with three people (total) in the car. I was wheeling the HUGE box out and it seemed like it would extend from the tailgate to the dash, but yet...
The key was that my tiny 17 year old granddaughter could drive with the driver's seat pushed pretty much all the way forward and upright. ;-) I got to ride home in the right rear seat, but was fine after a chiropractic adjustment. ;-)
Depends where you live. In USA/Canada - small, although I don't think it would considered "large" in any market.
It's funny - I lived in China in the early 90's, and they were building Jeep Cherokees there. On the roads there, they looked huge.
I bought a Cherokee in the US in 2000, and was amazed that I often couldn't find it in a parking lot because it didn't show up around / over the other vehicles.

I didn't know they built Jeeps there, especially back then, but I know what you mean.
You probably know, but, GLKs were built in Beijing, Hanoi, Cairo and northern Germany.

That post reminds me of an event from years ago.
We also transported a 65" Samsung Frame TV in its factory box ... but that's NOTHING compared to this.
The painting image follows. This painting was done by a veryprominent painter in Houston (TX), for my wife. Both long time friends and horse fanatics.
We took the canvas to have it framed (the frame itself was $450.00 usd!!). I was SHOCKED when we went to pick it up after framing. It's LARGER than the TVs box !! (I just now measured both - heck frame's thickness is 4.5" deep!!). I'll never remember how we got that framed painting in the GLK !!

My wife and I got our tandem bicycle in our Suzuki JLK (basically, a slightly longer wheelbase, hardtop Suzuki Samuri). Wheels off, the rear triangle was up against the hatch, and the fork was up against the dash, between us. If that bike had been another 2" long, it never would have fit.
