Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/08/mercedes-benz-s-class-spied-once-again/) of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/) we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class (http://www.autoblog.com/mercedes-benz/cls-class/) and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/f700/), including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/29/2014-mercedes-benz-s-class-interior-caught-in-spy-shots/) at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/18/2014-mercedes-benz-s-class-caught-totally-undisguised/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Mon, 18 Mar 2013 09:28:00 EST.
