One year after the introduction of the four-cylinder models in the MF 5600 series, they were replaced by the updated 5700 SL models. The engines now featured a wastegate turbo and improved injection. A new optional front axle suspension was introduced. The cab had a new instrument panel, improvements in the controls, and as an option, a new Datatronic 4 CCD color display.

The engines were Finnish 4.4-liter units with urea injection, but without a particulate filter. For transmissions, the Dyna-4 or Dyna-6 could be chosen. Gear shifting and direction changes were electro-hydraulic, and the creeper gear could be controlled both via an electric shift lever and the direction change lever. As standard, creeper gear adaptation was included, and gear automation was available as an option. A speed of 40 km/h was reached at just under 2000 RPM.

The hydraulics were similar to before. As standard, there was one pump (58 l/min), and an additional pump was available as an option, allowing for a connected output of 100 l/min when needed; however, the lift did not function in this mode. A third option was a load-sensing 110 l/min hydraulic system. There were three hydraulic valves standard. The lift was always electric. The tow hook was operated by a hydraulic lever, cylinder, and chain mechanism. The differential locks were electrically engaged, and up front, as usual, was a dog clutch. Traction release by pressing the brake pedals was standard.

Alongside the base model Essential, there was a better-equipped Efficient, which included, among other features, air conditioning, an air seat, mechanical cab suspension, gear automation, 100 l/min hydraulics, two electrically controlled hydraulic valves, power take-off engagement based on the lift, radio, and folding front fenders. New optional equipment included automatic steering functions similar to those in larger series.
