More Passengers For The Mercedes Benz R Class

Those who find the Mercedes Benz R Class interesting would be even more interested with the newest version of this vehicle that shows off an aura of luxury and prestige. After all, the new one would be able to pack in more passengers in its cabin. The total? A topping six passengers.

Having been in the industry only this year, the Mercedes Benz R Class is fairly a new one. It is manufactured by Daimler Chrysler AG and marketed under the Mercedes Benz class. It is an MPV and yet is also a crossover sport utility vehicle. It comes as a wagon that holds five doors. The BMW X5, Acura MDX, Land Rover LR3, and Cadillac SRX are a few of its competition in the market. It first went to the public as a concept car during the Detroit Auto Show back in the year 2001.

Mercedes Benz has lovingly dubbed this vehicle as the Grand Sports Tourer. And since it is a Mercedes Benz vehicle, it should also cost that much. The base Mercedes Benz R Class R320 CDi would let you shell out $82,900 for a unit and you would have to spend a huge and whopping $122,900 for the top of its range R Class R500L version. Perhaps only the Mercedes Benz spare parts are parts of this vehicle that do not cost that much.

Unlike other vehicles in its class, the Mercedes Benz R Class can seat six people inside. There are three rows of two passengers in the cabin. There are fully adjustable and individual bucket seats inside and these comprise the first and second rows. As per the last row of seats, these actually could fold flat on the floor so much so that you can store in more cargo in any you need to.

But you see, despite the huge price that you would have to pay to own one of these vehicles, you would be, in turn, having a vehicle that holds much equipment. There is a satellite navigation that comes with the vehicle. Alongside with that, there is also the Harman Kardon Logic 7 sound system plus heated leather seats among many other amenities.
