Mercedes-Benz S-Class Facelift Caught On Cam Again
Peter Parcon March 28, 2016
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift has piqued the interest of industry watchers ever since it was initially spotted out in the wild. Despite this interest on the future limousine of the company, Daimler continues to remain mum about it.
A recent spy video of the S-Class facelift shows some modifications along its front end, as shown on a report from autoevolution.com. The new S-Class received a new bumper and headlights. While some industry watchers expected the exterior shape to remain the same, it seems the changes the engineers wanted required a number of structural changes.
The new headlights are smaller and appeared to embedded more into the bumper, which creates an angle that was not noted earlier. The bottom line of the headlights of the previous model also appears to have been split into two.
The impressive performance of the MULTIBEAM headlights on the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class may make it logical for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class to also use it. The graphics of the headlights of the new model were also changed when compared to the ones found on the current model. The new model will feature a single main lamp, three smaller outer LED lamps on top of each other and an LED strip inside that is divided into three.
While industry watchers consider the use of the features of the E-Class on the S-Class, the new sedan is expected to feature numerous technological advancements. It may even be possible for the lower portion of the front bumper of the new S-Class to have similar features as the smaller E-Class. But, it will be necessary for designers to ensure it will have the elegance fit for the S-Class.
Even as the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is being thoroughly tested by the German luxury vehicle manufacturer, it is not expected to be unveiled before the end of the year. Due to this, it is still possible for the new S-Class to receive other features before its debut. One thing industry watchers are eagerly waiting for is the technology that will be used on the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is already being eyed by Uber as an “autonomous” limousine by 2020.
