New York International Auto-Show

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.

New York can boast a long and proud tradition of Mercedes world premieres. It was at the International Auto Show in February 1954 that the Stuttgart-based brand unveiled its legendary SL "Gullwing" and 190 SL sports roadster models.
