Mercedes G-Class Facelift Spied Showing Minor Changes To Tough SUV

Mercedes is giving the exterior design a nip and a tuck.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a refresh under development in chilly conditions. The engineers cover it in lots of camouflage, despite all signs pointing to a fairly minor update.

Judging by the horizontal slats in the grille, we are looking at the G550 in these photos, rather than the G63 in the last set of spy shots. The camouflage hides a lot, but the size of the openings in the corners of the front fascia seems taller than on the current model. The hood appears to lose the raised section in the middle.

There are only minor changes along the SUV’s side. The fender flares have a sharper angle where they bend downward.

At the back, things stay largely the same as on the current G-Class. Mercedes might make tiny changes to the rear bumper design.

While there are no spy shots of the cabin yet, expect it to adopt the latest version of the MBUX infotainment system. This might include enlarging the screens, too.

With a launch for the 2019 model year, the current G-Class isn’t very old. Don’t look for Mercedes to introduce the update for the model until the 2023 MY at the soonest. The model set a sales record in 2021.
