With the new facelifted 2018 Mercedes-Benz S 450, you get a new radiator grille, with three louvers instead of four and a new bumper design too. The headlights now come as Multibeam LED units with Ultra Range high beam that projects light up to 650 metres ahead. It also sports a three-bar DRL array, instead of the single one. The rear gets the redesigned twin tailpipes and bumper with a new diffuser. The tail light design now features the crystal-look design that was seen first on the W213 E-Class. The S 450 L now rides on AMG 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels, wrapped in 245/40 front and 275/35 rear run-flat tyres.
