最近谍照记者在德国南部拍到了奔驰M级改款车的原型车。现行的W166版本是在2011年上市的，因此为了保持新鲜度和市场竞争力，现在正是推出改款车型的时候。这辆原型车完全被黑白色伪装多包围，这表明奔驰将对M级外观进行较大改动而不仅仅是小修小改。新车很可能采用重新设计的前脸，包括单条横杠格栅，造型不同的前大灯和改款保险杠。在拍到内装照片后可以判断这是一辆传说中的混搭版本，预计该车将与ML 400共同组成新的M级家族。后者搭载一台3.0升V6双涡轮增压引擎，最大功率约为246千瓦/330马力，扭矩474牛米。M级改款车可能会作为2015款车型发布，因此很可能会选择在今年10月举行的巴黎车展亮相，随后很快上市。

2015 Mercedes-Benz M-Class facelift spied inside and out in southern Germany

A prototype of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class facelift was caught on camera by our spies in southern Germany.

 

The current generation W166 has been on the market since 2011 so naturally time has arrived for a facelift to keep the model fresh and competitive. Seen here is a prototype entirely wrapped around in black and white camouflage indicating Mercedes-Benz has prepared rather significant visual tweaks. It will likely come with a redesigned front fascia equipped with a single-bar grille, different headlights and a modified bumper.

 

After paying more attention to the interior shot, we noticed this could be the rumored hybrid variant which is expected to join the range along with a ML 400 derivative. The latter will allegedly receive a V6 3.0-liter twin-turbo generating around 330 bhp (246 kW) and 474 Nm (350 lb-ft).

 

The facelifted M-Class will probably be launched as a 2015 model year so chances are we will see it in October at the Paris Motor Show before going on sale shortly thereafter.
