Will get new redesigned Multibeam headlights and new DRLs

It was just a couple of weeks back when we reported the first sighting of the 2017 facelift of Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan. The car came with bare minimum camouflage and some refreshed styling. Recently a test mule of the new S-Class sedan was spotted again while testing and this time the spy shots even revealed the new Multibeam headlamps design as well that will be featured in the 2017 S-Class facelift. The car comes with some considerable cosmetic upgrades along with revised exterior features and cabin. On the outside, the most prominent change in the car is the new headlamps which as mentioned before, features Mercedes-Benz's latest rendition of the signature Multibeam lights along with new sharper daytime running lights (DRLs). The new twin DRLs double up as front turn indicators which add a smart touch to the latest design. The front grille remains unchanged, but the front bumper looks a bit new with redesigned air intakes.

The rear profile of the car remains completely unchanged. As for its cabin, Mercedes is expected to offer a more modern and stylish interior. The changes will include a sportier multi-functional steering wheel with a three-spoke design that will replace the current retro-styled two-spoke wheel, redesigned upholstery, and new seat covers.

The engines might also receive some tuning to improve emission and fuel efficiency but nothing is concrete yet. The new S-Class sedan will be showcased at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show with the launch later somewhere around mid-year. Image Source: WalkoART
