Mercedes-Benz Unveils R-Class Grand Sports Tourer

Mercedes-Benz Unveils R-Class Grand Sports Tourer

The Mercedes-Benz R-Class luxury vehicle is an entirely new type of Mercedes-Benz and a brand new way for six adults to travel. The new R-Class combines the distinct advantages of several disparate vehicles -- the sure- footedness of a permanent four-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle, the performance and comfort of a fine sports sedan and the versatility of a luxury wagon. Innovative design and useful technology now make possible an automotive decathlete -- a vehicle that can excel at an unprecedented range of owner needs.

Suggested pricing for the R-Class line begins at $48,775 for the R350, powered by a 3.5-liter, 268-horsepower V6 engine. The R500 is fitted with a 5.0-liter V8 producing 302 hp. Both models come with a seven-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive. The basic vehicle is loaded with standard equipment such as eight-way power front seats, leather seat inserts, birds-eye maple interior trim, split second and third row seats, load-leveling suspension and rain sensing wipers.
