MercedesDubai Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 The R-Class is the Mercedes-Benz SUV with a difference – although it comes with four-wheel drive (except the entry-level R 300 which is rear-wheel drive) you would never consider taking it off-road. Not even along the shortest of stretches of sand. No, the R-Class isn’t designed to get dirty – it’s been designed to produce the absolute of luxury and comfort for all those on board. It positively lives for long highways stretches which show the R-Class off in its best light. Three engines are offered ranging from a comfortable 3.0-litre V6 to a punchy 388bhp 5.0-litre V8. There’s seating onboard for six – in individual captain’s chair style seats – and there’s plenty of room in the boot for family paraphernalia, this is helped by the fact that all R-Classes offered in the region are long wheelbase versions. Everything on the interior is leather-lined of course and you can optionally choose to have two eight-inch monitors installed into the back of the front seats so you can play DVDs to keep anyone in the back occupied. The exterior was given a sporting up in 2009 with AMG-style wheel upgrades and styling cues being offered as standard across the range. The R-Class was introduced to the world back in 2006 but has never achieved the volumes that Mercedes had hoped for. It’s due to receive a minor freshening up in early 2011, but tellingly, there are no plans for the company to develop a replacement model. If you’re looking for an alternative way to transport the family around, you’re certainly going to get that with the R-Class.
