Striptease: Facelifted ML Sheds Even More Camo



The latest Mercedes ML has been caught again, this time a little more camo-nude than before, or maybe the folks in Stuttgart think all that dirt is going far enough to hide the lines. The 2016 model year has some significant changes going on cosmetically. Pictured at a profile are the new headlights and single-bar grille. Also, we can see character lines running the length of the car, taking a new shape and direction, as well as a softening of the rear wheel arch's bezel. Once you get to the back, you can see the taillights are virtually unchanged.

Looking at the powertrain, the ML400 is likely to be set up with a bi-turbo 3.0L V6. In this updated ML-Class, expect some tweaks to the existing powertrains as well. There's also talk of a new hybrid model, which is becoming more and more in demand with rising fuel prices.
