Launched a little over three years ago, the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS is facing much stronger competition nowadays than it used to at its launch, which will surely prompt the Stuttgart car maker to give a rather thorough makeover when its mid-cycle facelift arrives next year.
By thorough we're not talking about its exterior design though, because let's face it, the car looks good as it is, but more like get it infused with the current Mercedes-Benz both stylistic and technical progress.
Our spy photographers caught a CLS facelift of the 63 AMG variety undergoing testing somewhere in Europe where there aren't yet any blizzards.
As you can see, the exterior will not go under the scalpel like its E-Class brother, with the only design modifications to be made at the front and rear bumpers, which will now sport a similar theme with the ones on the facelifted E 63 AMG.
The interior will be the most improved though, as the somewhat small center console screen will now be much bigger and follow the same tablet-like design of most of its upcoming brothers. Expect both the “regular” CLS and its Shooting Brake brother to receive the mid-cycle facelift at the same time next year, with at least three more years of production in them until the next generations replace them.
