Mercedes-Benz calls it a "new generation" R-Class. Actually the 2011 version of this luxurious people mover, introduced today in New York, is no revolution. It is more of an evolution boasting new front and rear end designs, improved engines and refreshed interiors. The R-Class keeps its characteristically clean fluidic profile at the crossroad of wagon and SUV designs - a true crossover!
As reported by Mercedes-Benz
New York - Mercedes-Benz is celebrating the world premiere of the redesigned 2011 R-Class luxury crossover at the New York International Auto Show. The 2011MY R-Class combines the spaciousness of a luxury SUV with the safety, style and exclusivity of a Mercedes-Benz sedan.

Bold New Look
One look is all it takes to see that the new MY2011 R-Class conveys a new level of assertiveness, underscoring the unique personality of this multi-talented vehicle. The completely redesigned front end completely transforms its overall appearance, taking its inspiration from Mercedes-Benz sedans and SUV models. Alongside its fresh exterior, the inner values of the redesigned MY2011 R-Class also speak for themselves.
