2009 Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift spied

26 Nov, 2008 8 Comments

Our spy photographers have captured the best pictures yet of the face lifted Mercedes S-Class, due to arrive in Europe by Spring 2009.

The most obvious changes have been the new front skirt with fog lights, a redesigned rear bumper and new side mirrors.

The head lights have also received a subtle makeover, now featuring day-time running lights using LED technology.

The 2009 S-Class will be exclusively a facelift, with the engine line-up and model specifications expected to remain largely identical.

Agree Martin. I hope that with the facelift it keeps it’s understated-ness because amazingly for a large german limousine, it is understated. You don’t always notice one if it’s up next to you at the lights. I think that new front bumper actually makes it look more like the previous generation that the current.

i hardly see any changes for this car. It’s still looks like a luxurious limo even though they tried to make it more aggressive.

Styling is still pretty awkward especially those stupid wheel arch bulges and 7-series’esqe rear end.

Yeah, I dont really like the looks of any 4 door benz, but the bigger coupes are awesome looking. “Understated” is fine if you are in Europe or the US, and paying half what we do for these things, but I’d like a little bling for my buck. Maybe it’d look better in a darker color, with tint. That one looks a little ho-hum. A triumph of function over form, perhaps.

I don’t like the styling of the current S-Class. It looks too generic, that said I like the look of the C and E -Class.

The last time I saw rear indicators like that was on an 1987 XF Falcon

And why does it have the headlights off the previous model Mazda 6?

I thought that [along with BMW] Merc-Benz were supposed to be the innovators in the Auto Industry…. which Holden Ford and Toyota copy/copied

I mean the Headlights on the Current S-Class are similar to those on the WM Statesman
