Fresh design touches include a reworked crenellated grille with three chrome trimmed louvres and a prominent central star. Clear lens projection-beam headlamps, a striking front bumper with integrated fog lamps, and a simulated underguard complete the bold front-end of the new-generation M-Class.

Moving around the car, you'll notice flared front wheel arches and a purposeful feature line sweeping towards the rear. Redesigned exterior door mirrors with a larger reflective surface are now automaticaly dimming as well as electrically folding.

At the rear, we've added dark-tinted tail lights and twin exhaust with oval tailpipes as standard on the V6, and with rectangular tailpipes in chrome fitted as standard on the V8.
