From the outside, the new generation M-Class presents to the viewer a muscle-packed aspect – and yet fine lines define its dynamic proportions. New 17-inch to 21-inch light-alloy wheels and distinctive wings with brush guard set the tone.

The newly-designed radiator grille with chrome trim, the re-worked front apron with sump shield and the headlamps of new design, the distinctive, sweeping exterior mirrors and the darkened tail lamps in the redesigned rear bumper as well as the dual-flow exhaust system make the vehicle’s sporty nature clear at a glance. Optional clear-glass-look tail lamps with LED technology are also available. And especially practical on journeys: the standard roof rails and the optional trailer coupling.
