Styling takes a few pages from the current roster of Mercs, with an enormous grille area and stylized stars in both the head- and taillights. Expect so-called AMG Line packages to add numerous bits of body addenda, plus blackout Night bundles and the like. Overall length grows by about 140 millimetres compared to the current model, with some of that newfound space going to additional rear legroom. It’s a skiff lower, too, meaning it may look a little less of an awkward turtle than the present example.

Inside there’s plenty of screens, at least in top trims, including a Superscreen that spans just about the entire width of the dashboard. In it, a 10.25-inch gauge display, 14.0-inch infotainment screen, and equally sized front passenger screen sit behind a huge pane of glass. (The person riding shotgun in a base trim, however, gets to look at a plastic panel instead of a screen.) As with other modern Mercs, there seems to be plenty of illumination in the cabin, a trend into which the brand has leaned heavily. Count on numerous options for seating, upholstery, and trim details. An available glass roof can be tweaked for opacity with the touch of a button.
