奔驰S级上市已经有两年了，因此车厂正准备对这款旗舰级车型进行改款。最近谍照记者拍到了正在测试的原型车，由于车辆处于早期测试阶段，因此看点有限。不过，仍能看出新车采用新的前大灯，内部集成三个LED灯条，同时每个大灯侧面有三个发光点。除了新的前大灯，预计前后保险杠和格栅也将进行改款。更大的变化是在车厢内，新车采用更传统的三辐方向盘，双显示屏仪表群和信息娱乐系统，仪表群和信息系统显示屏之间没有按键，显示屏也采用无边框设计。新车动力系统预计与老款车一样，或许会进行一些小幅改进以提升性能和燃油经济性。

 

2017 Mercedes S-Class facelift spied for the first time

The Mercedes S-Class has been on the market for a couple of years so the company is preparing a facelift for their flagship sedan.

 

Recently caught undergoing testing, the prototype is in the early stages of development so the changes are fairly limited at this point. That being said, the model has been equipped with new headlights that feature three LED stripes and three light points at the side of each headlight.

 

Besides featuring new lighting units, the facelifted model is expected to have modified bumpers and a revised grille.

Bigger changes occur in the cabin as the car has been equipped with a more traditional three-spoke steering wheel. The dual display instrument and infotainment cluster is also new as it ditches the buttons between the displays and now features a frameless design.

 

Engine options remain unconfirmed but choices are largely expected to carryover. There could be some minor modifications for increased performance and fuel-efficiency but we'll likely find out more in the coming months.

 

There's no word on when the facelifted S-Class will be unveiled but it is expected to arrive in time for the 2017 model year.
