While I’ve always been doubtful of the R-class and it strategic position in the Mercedes line-up, I have also always said that it is a superb car, I mean minivan, or is it an SUV. Whatever it is, the folks over at AutoExpress have taken it for a spin to see what it offers its unknown target market. And just like any other Mercedes product, they said positive things about it, even though the fuel economy and the usual high price-tag was a negative. Here is a nice quote that sums it up.
However, the R63 is a hugely capable machine combining effort- less pace and comfort. Buyers with deep pockets will soon forgive the high price and poor fuel economy.
Even if the Soccer-moms don’t like because of the large doors, there are other moms that do, and we can clearly see why.
