Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift spotted on test

The current generation of the S-Class is still a fairly new product, however, that hasn’t stopped Mercedes-Benz from developing a facelift. Based on the current W222 gen model, the S-Class facelift has been spotted on test for the first time.    

Given its properly modern underpinnings, the S-Class facelift will mostly consist of cosmetic and interior upgrades. On the outside, the car will feature revised headlamp detailing and front and rear bumper design to differentiate it from the old model. 

Inside, Mercedes is likely to put in a bigger digital cockpit and multimedia screen with a different layout for the facelift. While there may be a few changes under the revised bodyshell, we will not be able to tell them from these spy shots, at least.  

We expect the S-Class facelift to arrive globally in late 2016 or early 2017. When launched, it will continue to compete with other flagship German luxury sedans including the Audi A8 and the recently introduced all-new BMW 7 Series.
