The R Class takes the acknowledged strengths of
established vehicle categories, such as sporty Saloon, Estate, MPV and SUV,
and fuses them to create a new vehicle concept with a character all of its
own - the Grand Sports Tourer, a car that is all about the three Ds: Dimensions,
Design and Dynamism. The new R Class is being launched first in North America,
in autumn 2005; deliveries to customers in Europe will commence at the beginning
of 2006. The novel concept of the Sports Tourer caters to the needs of modern
minded people looking for a car that offers tremendous versatility combined
with athletic performance. Quite apart from boasting ample spaciousness,
exemplary standards of safety and impeccable comfort for up to six passengers,
the new R Class also enthrals with its beguiling styling, prestigious flair
and its dynamism out on the road. Measuring 5157 millimetres from nose to
tail, the body of the new Mercedes Benz R Class is akin to a luxury saloon
in size but is considerably more spacious inside.
