Mercedes-Benz is making some minor changes to the GL-Class which was introduced back in April 2012. The revamped 2015 version will feature changes to the front fascia. Here are some spy shots of the upcoming facelifted 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.
The prototype of the GL-Class spied testing was camouflaged only in the front, hinting that the automaker might confine the changes to an updated grille, tweaked headlamps and a restyled front bumper. The rest of the design seemed unchanged.
From the badges on the rear, it can be easily recognised that the vehicle spotted is a GL500 4MATIC. This model is powered by a 4.7-litre V8 engine that churns out 428 bhp of power and 529Nm of torque. This power is sent to all the wheels through a 7G-TRONIC transmission which allows the GL to sprint from 0 to 100kmph in 5.4 seconds with an electronically-limited top-speed of 250kmph.
Mercedes-Benz is getting the GL-Class ready for a mild makeover in order to keep the luxury full-size crossover, fresh until the next generation arrives in and around 2017. Reports suggest that the next-gen version will be offered in a more luxurious Maybach variant. Until then, the automaker might unveil this facelifted current-generation GL at the Paris Motor Show in October this year or at the Detroit Motor Show in January next year. The SUV might come to the Indian shores after it goes on sale in the other countries around the world.
