In addition to the fresh exterior, the inner virtues of the R-Class are also impressive. These include the economy of space on a par with the latest MPVs, as well as the comfort, high-class appeal and prestige associated with classic Mercedes-Benz luxury saloons. At the same time, the latest generation offers the same level of interior diversity for which its predecessor was renowned, and also boasts the robustness and all-wheel-drive properties of the Mercedes-Benz SUVs.
