Not quite an SUV, not nearly a minivan, the Mercedes-Benz R-Class is a crossover that hasn't crossed over in the way that its cousins, the M-Class and GL-Class, have. Maybe it's overcrowding in the over-$50,000 all-wheel-drive market in Mercedes stores, but for whatever reason, this six- or seven-seat long-distance tourer's been overlooked. The R-Class' amorphous styling could be at fault, too. It's somewhere between all those popular body styles, and as a result the R-Class doesn't look like anything except the departed Chrysler Pacifica. It's softer and less overtly a utility vehicle, and it has a bulbous rear end with a big wagon tailgate. Inside it's much better, with a familiar collection of big, clear gauges and wood trim that's clearly related to, but not identical to, the setups in the GL and ML utes. The dash is probably the most SUV-like feature of the R-Class, aside from its all-wheel-drive hardware. Source: www.thecarconnection.com
