If you, by chance, are considering spending your hard earned cash on the new Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV, you may as well rejoice. Now, there are plenty of images of the car captured by spy photographers. For your information, the vehicle model was known to be undergoing testing just a little while ago.
Basically, the Mercedes-Benz GLS is simply the Mercedes-Benz GL that receives facelift treatments. This flagship SUV from the luxury German automaker is bound to have a mid-cycle refreshment. Yet, because this is a facelift version, changes to the visual styling may not be too significant. The hood and bumpers will receive visual modifications, to begin with. Then, the car will also have its taillights and headlamps tweaked as well. However, the exterior is not the only part of the car that will receive facelift treatments. A number of updates have also been planned for the interior of the vehicle.
Although essentially a facelift of the Mercedes-Benz GL SUV, Mercedes is applying the GLS moniker for the vehicle seemingly because of the company’s new nomenclature system. This may also mean that customers will see a Mercedes-Maybach luxury SUV in the near future.
When it comes to performance, the GLS SUV from Mercedes-Benz is most likely to retain its original engine. The car will run on a 3.0L V6 twin-turbo engine. According to statistics, this engine in particular is capable of offering a maximum power output of 333 hp besides 480 Nm of maximum torque.
Now, for those of you who can’t really seem to wait to know when you can possibly test drive the new Mercedes-Benz GLS – or the GL facelift – SUV, you may not have to wait too long.
According to the latest rumors on the web, the vehicle in question is very likely to bow to the public at some point in the year 2015.
