The S-Class facelift gets a new front grille. The models with six and eight-cylinder engines feature three twin louvres as well as vertical strips with a high-gloss black finish in the grille. The  long wheelbase and V-12 engine variant gets additional chrome-finish vertical strips in the radiator grille. The Maybach gets the logo between the louvres of the radiator grille.

There are optional MULTIBEAM LED headlamps along with three distinctive torches of light. The redesigned front bumper gets prominent air intakes. At the rear there are full LED tail lamps with a crystal look. A tail lamp light show that plays when the vehicle is unlocked and locked, as well as three horizontal pairs of fibre optics are also new. The rear bumper features a redesigned lower section and the exhaust pipes get  chrome trim spreading across the width of the car. There are seven new design alloys wheels from 17 to 20 inches as standard or optional.
