Spied: The Next Generation Mercedes-Benz ML

The Next Generation Mercedes-Benz ML

Quote:

Here are the most revealing photos yet of the Mercedes ML as we snapped one of the pre-production cars wearing only very little camouflage. For the first time we can see the rear side window and all the lines of the lights. We can also see all the lines and pressings on the side.

The size seems to be pretty much equal to the current car. Under the hood we expect a similar range of engines powering today’s ML since it got some new engines with the latest facelift. Meaning there will be all from a range of diesel engines to high power petrol engines from AMG. We also expect a plug-in hybrid version this time.

With pre-production cars starting to run in traffic we suspect that the debut is not that far away for the 2012 Mercedes ML. Below you will also find the most recent cold weather testing video our spies have filmed.

Looks a little bit longer... Those taillights are very Porsche Cayenneish.

The D-pillar reminds me of the original ML, seems to have an E-class style tail lights.

Anyone have any idea when we might see the AMG version? I'm leaning towards a new Cayenne Turbo to replace my '08 ML63, but I'm reluctant to pull the trigger without seeing this new truck
