Since the introduction of the R-Class in 2006, Mercedes-Benz has sternly referred to the vehicle as a Sport Tourer SUV. The reasoning behind this description is that the R-Class shares many components with the M-Class SUV, and it’s manufactured at the same facility as the M- and GL-Class SUVs. But no matter how you refer to the R-Class, one thing’s certain: It is a vehicle that transports its passengers to and fro better than any other in its segment.
