Spy Pics: 2017 Mercedes S Class (W222) Facelift spotted (Already ?)
These are the 1st spy pics of the 2017 S Class;
Considering the W222 was launched in 2013, don't you think its kinda early to see the facelift doing the testing already  Source

This is completely normal. Just because you see a test mule doesn't mean the car is close to being released. It could be another 1-2 years before the refresh is introduced which would fall right in the middle of its life cycle assuming a 6-7 year life cycle for the W222.

Could be a new sw option or system they are testing. The cover's for the dashboard area are intriguing. Atominous driving, laser headlights, etc...

Do notice the headlamps guys there is a new design element (3 vertical lines of DRL's)
So this definitely is no engine testing or systems / features under test, its definitely a facelift undergoing test. I also believe the facelift won't be launched before 2017 (as a 2018 model). Lets wait & watch.

Just saw that AutoMotor und Sport has picked up on these fotos. They are saying its an LCI update bc of BMW's new 7er! lol
New features: New restyled LED hedlights which allow the driver to drive with the highbeams on all the time, dimming the places where other cars or people are. Also a nightvision system to detect annimals and pedestrians. New larger and frameless LCD dashboard & infotainment displays. New seats and interior switchgear. Also the ugly two spoke steering wheel will no longer be offered. A new automatic transmision will also be offered. http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/n...-10242785.html
