Mercedes-Benz seems to be working on an update for its flagship ICE model, the S-Class.

Ahead of its unveiling, a prototype of the Mercedes S-Class facelift has been spied covered in camouflage, indicating a number of significant changes, especially around the front, wherein the camouflage seems to be hiding a massive new grille. This also translates to a new front bumper design, as well as a revamped set of LED headlamps on either side.



Mercedes is also expected to introduce a new rear bumper with updated LED tail lights. It could also feature some tweaks to the reflectors and the exhaust tips at the bottom.

Inside, the new S-Class facelift is said to get an all-new dashboard featuring the brand's Hyperscreen display with three screens: the digital instrument cluster, the central infotainment and another for the front passenger. Mercedes could also update the cabin with more features, tech and other creature comforts for both the front and rear passengers.

Mercedes-Benz has yet to officially announce the powertrain options for the upcoming S-Class facelift. Being a mid-cycle refresh, it could just carry forward the current set of engines and transmissions, though.

Last year the chief designer of Tata moved to Mahindra. Did the chief designer of BMW move to Mercedes? First the GLS facelift, now this!

I can just imagine this person angrily leaving the BMW office shouting “I’m leaving! And I’m taking my big grilles with me”

1st BMW, then Mercedes, soon enough, the grilles will cost more than the car!

Why's that Audi wearing a Merc badge...

Somehow the Germans (especially BMW And Mercedes) are heading the design direction of chrome, bling, over statement whereas rest of the manufacturers are moving to clean lines, de-chromed understated designs.

The recent Mercedes GLS Maybach is a case in point.

I was happy thinking that the big grilles of pre-90s Mercs are coming back, till I saw your comment.

On closer look at the camouflaged car, it really looks like Audi's octagonal grille.

Pity that they are looking at plonking in the hyperscreen instead of bringing back some physical buttons/knobs.

It could be the camo though. But I don't think they'll escape the comparisons either way.

The BMW thing is there in this car, the "GRILLS". Expecting this will enhance the look of the car. Hope that the price is less than 3 crores.
