近日，外媒再度曝光了一组新一代奔驰GLS的雪地测试谍照。从照片可以看到该车引擎盖的伪装下面有厚重的隆起，这表明这款全尺寸SUV采用了更平顺，流畅的线条。该车采用了新的MHA平台，不仅车重进一步降低，而且内部空间更大。新车内部仍将提供三排座椅，即便是在高速路上也可提供舒适的驾乘感受。至于动力系统，很有可能提供包括新的直列六缸引擎和电机的混动版本。而AMG版本则很有可能搭载4.0升V8引擎。新一代GLS级车型在市场上的竞争车型包括路虎揽胜和宝马X7这些全尺寸车型，不过奔驰未来还将提供超豪华的迈巴赫版本。预计奔驰将于明年发布新一代GLS级车型。
2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Spied In Snow Looking Rather Chunky
This time we caught up to the the new Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class testing in the snow, and spy photographers were on-hand to grab some high-resolution photos. We can better see the chunky cladding on the hood beneath the camouflage wrap, which is almost certainly a ruse to hide what should be very smooth, flowing lines for this full-size SUV.
That’s because we know there’s the new MHA platform underneath, which delivers lighter weight while also providing roomier accommodations inside.As such, the new GLS should give third-row passengers some measure of comfort while blasting down the highway. As for what will power this crossover, specifics aren’t known at this stage but hybrid combinations are pretty much guaranteed, pairing the new inline-six engine with electric motors in several variations. An AMG version is also likely at some point, though we expect that autobahn burner to incorporate the larger 4.0-liter biturbo V8.
The new GLS-Class is expected to do battle with the Range Rover and BMW X7 in the full-size SUV realm, but there’s also talk of an ultra-posh Maybach version seeing the light of day.
It’s believed that Mercedes-Benz won’t reveal the new GLS-Class until 2019, and given the extensive camouflage panels still affixed to the prototypes we see, that’s a good estimate.
