Mercedes will also be revising the current car’s styling and will also be introducing a new model with its 5.5L V8 engine. Inside, the car is expected to offer seating for up to seven passengers in some versions with the six-seater model set to remain. There’s no word on which engine options will be available with the RWD models but it’s likely the powertrains will remain the same as the 4MATIC AWD cars.
The new models will be built alongside the Mercedes M-Class SUV, with which its shares the same V251 platform, at the company’s Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama.
