Introduced for the 2006 model year, the automaker says the R-Class "grand sports tourer" is the company's first model to blend the merits of a sport utility vehicle, sports sedan, and luxury wagon.

The R-Class evolved from the Grand Sports Tourer concept of 2000, and Mercedes said the production model didn't change much. Marketers promote the R-Class for its style, sophistication, luxury and spacious six-passenger capacity. 

Exterior
Front and rear design cues are modeled after Mercedes-Benz coupes and sedans. Rounded and squat at the rear, the new model flaunts a relatively long profile.

The unibody R-Class wagon is about an inch longer than Mercedes' flagship S-Class sedan. This particular model has the double-sized panoramic sunroof unit with a 5-foot-7-inch glass panel. When opening the panoramic sunroof, half of the panel moves atop the other so headroom isn't affected. Powered roller blinds in this roof protect occupants from the sun.

Privacy glass is standard, and a single-lift tailgate is installed. The R-Class' fully independent suspension uses double wishbones up front and a four-link setup at the rear. A load-leveling rear air suspension is standard, and the driver can select from three operating modes: Normal, Comfort or Sport.

Interior
The R-Class provides space for up to six occupants courtesy of three pairs of seats. Space between the first and second row measures 34 inches, with 30 inches between the second and third row. There's enough space between the second-row seats to walk through to the third row, and individual seats in both rear rows can be folded. An optional second-row console contains additional cupholders, and bottle holders are located in each door pocket. The seats have leather inserts, and brown bird's-eye maple wood trims the doors, dashboard and center console.

The four-spoke multifunction steering wheel features brushed-aluminum accents, and a new electronic gear selector is mounted on the steering column. The upper section of the two-tone dashboard arches over the instrument cluster, which holds two cylindrical binnacles for the speedometer and tachometer.

Weather-band reception is included in the standard radio, which has a single-CD slot and controls for optional satellite radio. An auxiliary plug in the glove box connects to MP3 players.

Under the Hood
The 3.5-liter V-6 in the R320 CDI develops 221 hp and 398 pounds-feet of torque.

The engine teams with a seven-speed automatic. The transmission is able to skip as many as three gear ratios during downshifts to get the transmission in the proper gear. All-wheel drive includes three differentials. 

Safety
Side curtain airbags protect occupants in all three rows of seats, and door-mounted side-impact airbags for front occupants are standard. A rollover sensor can activate seat belt pretensioners and the side curtain airbags. Antilock brakes and an Electronic Stability Program are standard, and a tire pressure monitoring system is installed. 

Driving Impressions
The refined, versatile, luxurious R-Class yields a lush ride even when surfaces get rough. Few drivers could ask for a more satisfying luxury tourer for long hauls.

Handling is no less impressive. Steering feels just right for this new class of car, and it requires moderate effort with utterly satisfying response.

Acceleration with the V-6 is always abundant, with power that is refined, if short of startling. The automatic transmission functions effortlessly and always seems to know which gear to be in and for how long. The V-6 becomes taxed on steep grades, but downshifts are so smooth and appropriate that you hardly notice.

There is barely any road sound evident and the engine is nearly silent. The seats offer magisterial comfort and support, are wholly adjustable to suit one's physique, and remain appealing even after hours of driving. Cylindrical gauges are big and easy to read.
