Road Test: 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class

Road Test: 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class

[@Sardalani7]

I love the R-class, we have a 06 R350 and it's super comfy and a soft ride, but it also moves fast for it's size when you step on the gas

[@CaptHollister]

I'm on my second r-class. It is remarkable. It's an incredibly comfortable long-distance tourer. There isn't much cargo that won't fit inside. It is as near to unstoppable in winter as any vehicle can be and the Bluetec engine offers surprising performance and economy. In fact, I looove this car. Downsides ? there are two: 1st, the standard run-flat tires are crap. 2nd: other drivers sometimes fail to appreciate how long it is and end-up scratching the rear bumper. Very annoying.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Run flats? No spare tire? Deal breaker.

[@klauszalew6582]

Bardzo fajny film !!! , Pokazany w bardzo szybki sposób i komentarz konkretny👌👍💪

[@tayfun5156]

I have a R320 cdi and its so comfortly to drive with it ! Love this car!

[@ottodob]

really neat vehicle. such a shame they got discontinued.

[@richsackett3423]

I read they are still selling them in China. Just a great car. It's a little annoying they tested it on the track without the Sport suspension button pushed. It should be on all the time.

[@thesoundofthesuburbs]

+Rich Sackett +Samwise Drogod AM General is the Mercedes-Benz contractor that manufacturers them in Indiana for export to China. They are very popular in China. In my view, they were popular enough in the United States and Canada for continued production. However, some market research likely indicated that R-Class buyers opted for the R-Class instead of other Mercedes-Benz models, meaning that they just cannibalized other sales instead of bringing in new Mercedes-Benz buyers.

[@thecman26]

Please bring back the R63 AMG!

[@macbook802]

Manufacturers can only build cars if people buy them

[@JDMHaze]

why? So that seven people can buy them?

[@doctorzaius4084]

I thought these were very weird but also very cool... much more appealing hybrid of a wagon & SUV than most. Unfortunately, not many people agreed - although I do still see tons of them in Manhattan!

[@viggomernelius4568]

We have a 2010 with 21 inch tires and those tvs and i like this car alot

[@thewiseguy3529]

I love these. RWD or AWD can't go wrong with that.

[@rafapazos06]

“The gauges have been updated with clear marking” thank God 😂

[@chigasaki06]

Good review overall, but PLEASE, get new graphics and background music. The music and graphics used here screams 1980's. I know this is a review from 2011, but it sounds like a review from 1980.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Ask for your money back.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Coolest Mercedes.

[@samuelson76]

2021 Here, ... now you can buy it for some 15k in good conditions. For me it’s the perfect car. Today will sale it as a E-Class off-road or Cross Country ... Much more space, ... luxury too. I’m looking for one of the last ones, without air suspension. The V6 Diesel 350 off course.

[@JDMHaze]

I think there are aftermarket conversion kits to convert the rear suspension and it has an adapter for the computer so it won't give any issues, I know they do this for the SL/S class models of this time

[@Emmydonglobal]

Can you give me link to buy any

[@mrburns2101]

And the headphones from the Merc that went missing overnight and insurance papers messed with, I remember locking it someone was crafty

[@jwagner1993]

Very very very interesting

[@khaledibnwaled]

Best

[@christianstylezinc9224]

The motor week Ford Flex video was playing on the monitor yay that’s my car

[@kevindavis2315]

Same

[@76carmel]

@StangBang35 I think Mercedes R class' only competition is that Lincoln MKT.

[@IgnisMDB]

How can you compare them? One is a family car, and the other one is an SUV for young and dynamic people without dippers and baby strollers

[@MrCharles700]

Yes, I love M-Benz R better, it is Benz R so beautiful and strong, so fast that it is my M-BENZ R63 AMG BEST FASTEST😂❤❤❤💪👍👍👍😍

[@A_guan]

r-class or gl-class??

[@MilkoVilela]

GL CLASS all the way.

[@AndreiSmantana]

the r-class is a great little car, nice review. i have a 2006 R320L, i took it down Austria this January 2012. Check my video out, its great fun

[@Erhan.Cetinkaya]

👍

[@rafapazos06]

Hard to find in good condition here in Hungary.

[@demlac65]

Why the hell is he shouting?:O

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

He's old and deaf.

[@brianc5537]

He isn’t shouting that’s just his natural voice 🤣

[@pbfloyd13]

This just a Dodge Journey for upper middle class families.

[@macbook802]

It crazy to think how shitty mercedes technology was in 2011

[@connorcaricchio7792]

I am going to get a old r-class with the 5 liter v8 engine.

[@MrKormmodity]

They’re very rare and very fast! I’ve had one about a year now

[@StangBang35]

Ehhh Prefer the Lincoln MKT

[@OriginalBernieBro]

I'd prefer the NEW Range Rover Evoque.

[@khunopie]

me likey vely much

[@52684]

AMERICAN.. do you get it

[@brandondavis7695]

two words: Chrysler Pacifica

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Yep, probably more reliable, less expensive to repair, and way more room and comfort.

[@Johncarson9113]

They really need to stray away from the Minivan look. That bulbous rear end is just horrendous. At least the front fascia looks more agressive and less of any eye soar compared to its predecessor. Over all for what it is, it executes being a practical Luxury family hauler. Its not the best in the Mercedes Line-up but at least it stands its own ground being a family oriented vehicle. With that dynamic at least they will sell for that prime reason.

[@vidiot9000]

Why the hell are you yelling so loud!

[@jameswatson6]

😆

[@746i]

Only if the R class didn't look like a hearst or a minivan

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Patty Hearst or William Randolph Hearst?

[@kevindunbar3685]

It's a Grand Tourer

[@thesoundofthesuburbs]

BLIND SPOT ASSIST is not a standard feature. Who is in charge of making these ridiculous reviews?

[@adogg619]

I don't like the new headlights. It looks too much like something from a toyota.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Big bus? OK, think I'll pass.

[@Tapwata723]

I'm sorry but I just cant take Mercedes seriously when they make hideous minivans like this.
