The Mercedes-Benz R-Class vehicles make use of the sophisticated chassis found in the M-Class, which are composed of mainly off-road vehicles. the R280 CDI is disguised as a rear-wheel drive vehicle but it actually makes use of the 4Matic four-wheel drive which is already available on the R320 CDI and the R500. Because of the combination of the chassis and the 4Matic four-wheel drive system, the driver can be rest assured that he will be able to make it through the most unfavorable weather conditions. Aside from all these, the R-Class can also have a better road performance thanks to its optional air suspension setup. Plus, another great factor is that this air suspension setup lows for a Sport mode. The available powerplants in the Mercedes-Benz R-Class are V6 diesel engine and the 5.5-liter V8 petrol which can produce 288bhp and can hit 60mph in a matter of 6.3 seconds.

Today, the R-Class is available in the conventional five-seat setup and there’s a seven-seat setup available as well. All the models in the R-Class except for the base R280 CDI, there’s an option for a long-wheelbase and the simple trims available are the SE or the Sport. If one wants to have a more stylish R-Class vehicle, he can opt to get the AMG body styling kit and 18-inch alloy wheels.

What really makes the Mercedes-Benz R-Class stand out is its spacious interior as it can seat seven adults and some of their cargo or luggage. Aside from that, there’s an 869-liter boot where they can load their luggage.
