Measuring 5173 millimetres from nose to tail, the body of the new Mercedes-Benz R-Class has the dimensions of a luxury saloon but is considerably more spacious inside. This is due primarily to the sophisticated vehicle concept and a dimensional design that has been ingeniously planned right down to the finest detail.

Up to seven passengers can be accommodated in three seat rows in the R-Class. The third seat row with two folding individual seats, transforms the R-Class into a five plus two-seater (7-seater).

The seat spacing, an important factor when it comes to freedom of movement and spatial comfort, amounts to 860 or 920 millimetres between the first and second rows, equivalent to the level found in luxury saloons. The knee room is 119 and 175 millimetres. Likewise, the figures for headroom take the levels of space and comfort aboard the Mercedes-Benz R-Class into a new dimension.

Families who are keen on sports and recreational activities and who are looking for a versatile car that can adapt to all manner of transportation tasks quickly and easily are also catered for by the new R-Class. The two seats in the rear fold flat individually, allowing the load capacity to be expanded to as much as 2385 litres (VDA measuring method). Loading and unloading is particularly straightforward, courtesy of the level load floor and the generously proportioned EASY-PACK tailgate.
