      Highlights of the exterior design include the double slat grille, LED headlamps, flared wheel arches and the dual exhaust tips as well as the full LED tail lamps. The cabin is standard ultra-luxurious Mercedes fare with features likes the dual digital displays, five-zone climate control, 360-degree camera, leather upholstery and of course three-full rows of seating thanks to the SUVs five-metre plus length. It is expected to be offered with high levels of customization and a large accessories list as a part of the deal.
