New Mercedes arrival

Friday, July 23, 2010


Mercedes-Benz is preparing the way for the arrival in August of their new-generation R-Class following a makeover that has seen the introduction of a number of new design changes.

This crossover model, which bridges the gap between their luxury saloon and MPV models, comes with a completely redesigned front section. Particularly eye-catching is its more striking, contoured bonnet and pronounced arrow-shaped front dominated by a wider, higher, more steeply angled grille.

Other improvements include changes to wings, side skirts, headlamps and bumper. Inside, the interior versatility of its predecessor is retained through a combination space and comfort.

In Ireland, focus will be placed on the low-consumption R 300CDI BlueEFFICIENCY model which comes on the market at 79,225 ex works. Consuming 7% some seven percent less fuel than its predecessor (at 7.6 litres per 100kms), this V6 version has a top speed of 215km/h with a 0-100km/h time of 9.5 seconds and a CO2 rating of 199-206g/km.

Sharing the billing here will be the R 300CDI 4-Matic version at 84,700 (ex works).

This second V6 version also combines low fuel consumption of 8.5 litres per 100kms with high performance mirrored in a top speed of 235kms/h and 0-100kms of 7.6 secs. CO2 rating is 223g/km.

All R-Class models are equipped with 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission.
