Overview & Reviews

Two new trim levels, the R320 CDI and the R63 AMG, are available this year. The R320 CDI has a diesel-fueled engine for enhanced fuel economy, while the R63 AMG is modified for high performance and comes equipped with a 503-horsepower V8.

• Wide range of engine choices, seating for six, functions much like a luxury minivan but without the associated mommy-mobile stigma.

• Long and heavy rear doors, gasoline V6 is short on low-end torque, high price for glorified minivan functionality.

  Best MB I ever had. - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Karl Klaft - February 8 - 11:03 am

  Most comfortable and quiet Mercedes Benz I ever had. Safety is outstanding. Handling is wonderful and the space for the sitting area excellent. Overall this car is the most recommendable vehicle for long distance convenient driving.

  Superior Safety, Excellent Economy, Comfort for Six. - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By rclasscdi - December 17 - 1:53 am

  I researched every vehicle that would seat 6 adults. The rear seats in most SUVs do not accommodate adults. In contrast, the R-class rear seats are perfectly comfortable and roomy for full-sized adults. The only vehicles that equal the R-class for access and comfort for 6 adults are minivans. The diesel engine is amazing. We get 28-30 mpg on trips. Power is plentiful, except from a dead stop, due to minor turbo lag. If you plan to dart away from each stop light, then go with the R500. Otherwise, you will love the CDI and the additional 10+ mpg. Ultimately I chose the R-class because it had the best combination of safety, luxury features and comfortable room for 6 adults.

  Love My R-Class! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Cathy - December 14 - 12:20 am

  We traded in out 2004 Jeep GC Limited for the MB R-Class and I could not be happier! This vehicle handles beautifully and while the styling may not be for everyone, I find it very attractive. I was considering the Volvo SUV or Audi Q7 but fell in love once I test drove the MB (and got great incentives to buy, too). You dont see yourself coming and going in this car, which I like, plus it handles more like a car (dare I say sports car?) than most SUVs I have driven. The ride is comfortable, the interior is well-finished and luxurious, seating and leg room is ample, and cargo space is generous. There should be more standard options, considering the base price, though.

  Almost 1 year old and still in love! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By David - July 27 - 6:13 am

  I am one of those crazies who trades every year. This vehicle may finally be the one that passes the year mark for me. Perfect ride, perfect power. Still one of the freshest looks out there in the sea of bland auto designs. No, I still havent gotten use to the minivan stigma, but boy once they ride in it, the critics convert quickly. Interesting that other makers are rushing this look to market. Cant wait to see what MB does at mid-cycle to freshen the front end.

  Not the Mercedes I previously owned - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By ruth20 - July 14 - 4:23 pm

  Over $6000.00 in repairs in one year. Suspension, computer, and had to order a new key fob after the two that came with the R350 wore out, $180.00 for a new one, and it is made quite well and will probably outlast the wagon Had a 94 S500 and it didnt need anything done until it was 11 years old. Thought they were all made like that one. No, now if you own a Mercedes, you better have deep pockets

  Better than I ever dreamed - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Nancy - December 6 - 3:00 am

  I was happily surprised with how this vehicle drives as I was not initially impressed with its looks. In fact my husband said it looked like a hearse. After test driving it, I had my husband test drive it and he fell in love! (We did test drive the diesel as well and my husband found it to be noisier). The car drives like a dream! It is hard to park in tight spaces (hard to see the nose of the car) and it is too easy to switch gears accidently when driving (suggested improvement). All and all, would highly recommend.

  Gadget Mania.- Not your ordinary SUV - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By M Sirianno - November 28 - 8:06 pm

  You name the Gadget - this thing has it. If you actually read the manual (500 pages)you will discover why a Mercedes costs more than most cars on the road today. Example- hold down the heater button after the key is out and the system continues to blow hot air for 20 mins. So while you run into the store for a few quick things, the car is still warm when you get back! The list goes on and on and on. This is an amazing vehicle if youre a gadget freak like me. If your not, you could foolishly mistake it as just another SUV

  Comfortable family mover. - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By doufitz - September 22 - 11:23 am

  "No" "Never" The replies were always the same when I asked my wife if she would like a minivan for transporting our three kids. She wouldnt even consider the R class, looked too much like a van. So I brought one home anyway..and she came around to the idea of a large wagon. It fits the family of 5 perfectly and room for a friend. Interior is top notch, nice auto tailgate and panoramic roof. 2D Navigation is adequate. It is a joy to drive, looking forward to a long road trip. It is an evolutionary vehicle design, kids would never fit in smaller 3rd row. Extremely happy with vehicle, have owned 5 other MBs, best fit and finish, a few electronic SRS realated messages, otherwise great.

  6 months old - 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class
  By Ed - May 18 - 3:23 pm

  Great car, fun to drive, Really big and somewhat difficult to park. Exceptionally good performance and gas mileage for a 6 cyl. Quality everywhere with no problems in first 6 months although at the 30 day checkup the service department was a poor. I wont be back to the selling dealer. Skip the parktronic and rear camera. They are only good from about 3 feet.
