Mercedes GL-Class Facelift Spied Almost Undisguised
The Mercedes GL Class first hit the market in 2006 and going by the Mercedes normal vehicle lifecyle of around six years, we should be seeing a mid-life pep up some time next year. This pep up has now been spotted almost undisguised by our spies earlier this week.
Looking at the front end of this prototype we can see much of it will stay unchanged apart from the area within the fender flare which appears to have redesigned fog lights and outer air intakes hiding beneath that camouflage. The rear takes a similar theme with the black clad camouflage hiding the rear fog lights area, we can also see modifications will be made to the rear bumper and taillights as well.
Engines are expected to stay largely unchanged, however due to the minor already mentioned, Mercedes will have to make some interior and equipment modifications to really pass this off as a facelift.

For that upper-middle class demographic this vehicle is absolute brilliance. The road to the cottage are severely weather rutte, they see hazardous winter conditionsd dirt tracks. The road to the ski hill is snowy and slippery and these features do serve benefit.
Do these vehicle "offroad"? Probably not. But they see deep snow, they see treacherous winter conditions, they negotiate lousy offgrid dirt roads.
Minivan? Oh yeah. But a Mercedes minivan that dad can feel macho in, mom can use for just about everything, kids,kids,more kids,soccer balls,ski equipment,cottage supplies,family trip to state forest campground,groceries,fuel mileage,safety,Mercedes
They are gonna sell gazillions of them.
And with this car you might just make it back on the road again, which is really the idea.
