Mercedes shows off new 2011 R-Class crossover

R-Class

Mercedes-Benz is giving its big R-Class luxury crossover a new look.

But while some others are reducing their size, the Mercedes will stay true to its roots with the R-Class. It will come in either six- or seven-passenger versions.

It will come with two engines. The 3.5-liter V-6 gasoline engine in the R350 4MATIC produces 268 horsepower. The 3-liter turbo-diesel in the R350 BlueTEC 4MATIC develops 210 horsepower -- and 18 miles a gallon in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. All will have all-wheel-drive.

Mercedes-Benz confirms 2011 C-Class Coupe

Mercedes Benz has made it official: the 2011 C-Class Coupe is on its way. The German luxury automaker has announced it will build the two-door C-Class at its massive Bremen plant, with production scheduled to begin in 2011. The addition of the Coupe gives Mercedes Benz three different variants of the C-Class, with a convertible almost certainly to follow. The impressively flexible Bremen plant, which employs 12,600 workers, also makes the C-Class sedan, wagon, GLK, two E-Class variants, the SL and SLK.

With the C-Class Coupe officially on its way to production, we're more than a bit curious as to how Mercedes will differentiate the smaller Benz two-door from the larger, more expensive E-Class Coupe. See, the bi-door E-Class already utilizes the C-Class platform, and the more expensive E Coupe is almost identical in every dimension to the C-Class Saloon. But the E-Class coupe commands a price premium of $9,000 compared to a C-Class sedan with the same 3.5-liter V6 engine.

Here its is, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class made its world debut today here at the 2010 New York Auto Show. Still classified as an SUV/Crossover, the 2011 R-Class does its best to stop looking like a minivan. Even though it seems like it’s doing a good job, there is still ways to go – at least in our opinion.

“Thanks to our successful model offensive, we are able to offer a uniquely wide range of tailor-made products designed to meet the needs of a demanding customer base,” said Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Marketing and Sales for Mercedes-Benz Cars. “A significant proportion of this success is down to the innovative vehicle concepts with which Mercedes-Benz has repeatedly established and opened up new market segments,” he continued. “These include the R-Class, the original SUV tourer, which we have now extensively redesigned and upgraded.”

With a refreshed face lifted front end Mercedes has shown that it wants to make a go of it with its seemingly unloved R-Class. And it has to be said that the heavy restyling has done wonders for the once not very attractive “Sports Tourer”.

In keeping with the German companies new corporate face a large three-pointed star sits in its upright rectangular shaped grille making the car look far more masculine. A reshaped rear bumper holding integrated reflectors, a new lower diffuser and updated lenses along with a selection of wheel choices complete the look.
