Today we can show the latest and most revealing spy photos of the upcoming 2012 Mercedes GL. For the first time we can see most of the front end with head lights and grille. It seems the GL will get front end styling attributes from the current E class.
According to reports, the GL will be built on a stretched version of the next generation ML platform. It will feature LED daytime running lights on the bumper and the compact light clusters for the rear taillights will likely be part of the next-generation GL's look as well as a friendlier face for the thuggish-looking GL with a wider grill and a more aerodynamic nose.
Engines Engines will likely still be shared with the ML model, such as the 3.0- and 4.0-litre diesels and the 5.5-litre gasoline/petrol engine all coupled to the brand's 7G-Tronic (7-speed) transmission. A source reports that this next-gen GL is due sometime in late 2012.
