The new R-Class doesn't just stand out in terms of its size and extraordinary shape. It also makes a lasting impression with its new masculine-sporty front and rear-end design, as well as its broad radiator grille. The model is further accentuated by elegant chrome trim elements from the optional chrome package, which underscores the vehicle's dominant visual impact.

New LED daytime driving lamps (optional) and modified tail lights featuring LED and fibre optics draw a lot of attention, as does the attractive blue-tinted windows in combination with the sports package.

The imposing design of the new R-Class exterior is matched by the elegance and generous dimensions of the interior.

Trim elements in aluminium or wood, coupled with a premium quality finish, underline the refined design features that are hallmarks of the R-Class. Designers have adhered to the principle that "what looks good should also feel good". This is exemplified by the switches and controls with a "soft-touch coating", as well as the soft armrests and elegant trim. The luxury interior of the new R-Class boasts a successful harmony of tactile qualities and aesthetic appeal. This is rounded off by the introduction of new colour variations.
