Mercedes ML out in the open

Mercedes is at it again! Due to go on sale in the second half of 2011 the ML is set to receive a comprehensive makeover from the inside out with both mechanical and styling modifications apparent in the images.

Smaller, more-rounded headlamps join a re-profiled front bumper whilst the rear light clusters now spread onto a wider and more practical bootlid.

The rear window is deeper, with a longer bootlid spoiler combining with weight saving changes under the skin to give increased efficiency and fuel economy.

The engine line-up is unlikely to change with the 3.0 and 4.0-litre diesels and 5.5-litre petrol still sitting below the range-topping 6.2-litre V8 AMG model. Prices will start from around £40,000, rising to around £78,000 for the ML 63 AMG.
