Codenamed W223, the new car will be the seventh generation of the luxury sedan and will make its world premiere later this year. The first look only reveals how the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-class will look from the front including the presence of the all-important bonnet emblem.

A big vertical touch screen replaces the dual screen set-up that was seen inside the car earlier.
The front grille gets bigger than before and it looks bolder as well with a lot more chrome being used. The LED headlamps looks similar to the ones seen on the recently launched facelift of the E-class sedan. The blue highlights in the headlamps point to the use of advanced LED laser lighting technology. Previous spy shots of the S-class have also revealed E-class like wraparound LED tail lamps as well as a revamped cabin with a new instrument cluster and huge vertical touch screen that is likely to get the latest version of company's MBUX infotainment system.
