Mercedes-Benz seems set to rejuvenate its entire lineup within the next couple of years. Now, one of our wily spies has caught yet another snap of a new Mercedes-Benz model, the second generation of the GL-Class that was snagged testing with reduced camouflage in Europe.

The new Mercedes-Benz ML-Class that forms the base for the longer 2013 GL-Class has already set the tone so don’t expect any surprises on the design front.

That said, the three-row crossover model will look a lot like the vehicle it replaces combining a rising beltline and upright profile with the squared nose and other styling details of the newer ML.

Power will come from the same engine range as the 2012 ML including a more potent 240-horsepower V6 diesel and a choice of V8 petrol units, while certain markets will also get Mercedes-Benz’s brand new direct-injection 3.5-liter V6 gasoline unit delivering 302-horsepower.

Expect the redesigned GL-class to appear in showrooms sometime next year as a 2013 model.
