During an airbag misuse test, the 2016 Mercedes MLC 63 AMG was spotted showing new details.

We can see that the model will be stripped of its heavy front camouflage. It will sport an aggressive front fascia, with a single-bar grille and huge air intakes. It also features aerodynamic side skirts and massive alloy wheels, as well as a four-tailpipe exhaust system. The crossover’s dynamic roofline, which echoes the BMW X6M, is undoubtedly the highlight.

Many upcoming AMG models will use the twin turbo 4.0-liter V8 engines. However, the MLC 63 AMG will use the familiar twinturbo 5.5 liter V8 that produces 525 PS (386 kW), and 699 Nm (516 lbft) of torque.

The Mercedes MLC will be available in the third quarter 2015, and the MLC63AMG should follow just a few months later.
