Following in the footsteps of its CLS and SLK brethren, the M-Class too is soon due for its mid-life revitalization. As evidenced by a batch of spy photos depicting the forthcoming model, changes (like the two previously-mentioned models) will almost certainly be minor, with exterior enhancements including a more pronounced front apron; a taller hood; reshaped fog lamps; and possibly altered headlights.

Inside, expect a few minor updates as well, while LED lighting technology will most likely be incorporated into the mirror's side indicator lamps and taillights.

We will of course keep you posted as new details emerge; in the meantime, head over to The Car Connection to check out the full batch of 2009 Mercedes ML-Class spy photos.

Enjoy.
