Mercedes-Benz has ditched the boxy structure seen on the SUV’s predecessor in favour of a more curvy design. It gets a big two-slat grille flanked by LED headlamps with LED DRLs. The front bumper now comes with large air dams that give the SUV a more muscular appeal. Its big wheel arches are used to place 21-inch alloy wheels (standard). At the rear, it gets a large windshield, sleek LED tail lamps, and a large bumper that contains twin exhausts with chrome inserts.
