Up front, you'll notice the new electric Mercedes family grille in all of its illuminated glory. Just as on the electric GLC, the grille's chrome border surrounds hundreds of tiny square lights, each sitting on a panel that is separated by ribs branching off of a lit-up spine. The Vision Iconic takes it a step further, illuminating the Mercedes three-pointed-star hood ornament that sits proudly atop the nose.
The headlights mirror that three-pointed star motif, sitting inside a slim, pointed housing with vertical slats. This lighting cue is already popping up in production Mercedes models, including the new GLC EV, CLA-class, and upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-class refresh. A pair of curved vents lives just ahead of the doors, and the only other decorations along the lengthy flanks are a chrome strip on the side sill and a shiny border to the gun-slit windows. The rear end takes more cues from the 300 SL of the 1950s, with simple LED taillights capping off the curvaceous bodywork.
