We’ve come across another 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS tester which while sporting a different color on the outside, appears to be the have the same AMG Line package as the previous white model. We don’t have any newer details on the car and we still expect it be introduced later next year as a 2022MY.
Whether that’s because no changes are
coming to the light units, or the prototype is simply wearing the old ones to
throw us off its scent, is something we’ll find out in the coming months. We
expect a full unveiling by mid 2021.
The reason we say that is because in 2014,
when they introduced the facelifted version of the second-generation CLS,
Mercedes gave it a completely restyled front fascia (new headlights, new
grille, new bumper), and a darker shade of red for the taillights. Inside,
there was a new steering wheel and a larger infotainment display, and we can
expect more of the same with this facelift as well. We’re referring to the new
split-spoke capacitive steering wheel that we got the chance to try out while
reviewing the facelifted E-CLass.
Otherwise, we don’t expect many other
changes, certainly not from a visual standpoint. Technically though, the
updated car should get Mercedes’ most recent MBUX infotainment software at the
tile of launch.
