Big Enough
To Hold Over A Century Of
Innovations.
Mercedes-Benz
F i r s t s .
The R-Class is a spacious vehicle full of big ideas. Six real,
full-sized seats for six real, full-sized people. An interior so
versatile its uses are defined only by your family’s needs.
An optional 5-foot-plus Panorama Roof that’s a picture
window on the world.
And just as important as any feature, within the R-Class’s
every weld, stitch and sensor lives over a century of
Mercedes-Benz firsts. A heritage of innovation that is a
journey from the best to the ever better.
A heritage that lets you know you’re driving one of the finest
automobiles in the world.
R 500 shown in optional Pewter metallic paint with optional Premium 2 Package.
Cups, cans, bottles — the
R-Class has room for all. Six beverage holders are
standard, as is the bottle opener built into the removable
divider between the cupholders located in the front
center console.
With 40 inches between the 1st and 2nd rows
and more than 30 inches between the 2nd and 3rd rows,
there’s ample legroom for everyone.
Individual reading lights are available
in the 1st and 2nd rows. Front passenger map lights, a
central dome light and lighted vanity mirrors make the
R-Class a very illuminating experience.
Thick front and
passenger windows reduce cabin noise. Double- and,
in some areas, triple-sealed door frames perform the
same function, as well as dampen vibrations and make it
harder for dirt or dust to enter the cabin.
32 oz front-seat beverage holders offer a
removable divider to allow a 44 oz cup.
Every seat is the best in the house
when each is full-sized, with a head restraint, armrests
and lumbar and thigh support. For the R 350, R 320 CDI
and R 500 driver and front passenger, 2nd and 3rd rows
are covered in MB-Tex upholstery.
Standard dual-zone climate
control lets the driver and front passenger manage their
comfort individually. Optional 3-zone climate control
gives 2nd- and 3rd-row passengers additional vents for
added comfort and puts temperature controls in the
2nd row.
Integrated into the
next generation modular COMAND system, this dynamic
audio system features AM/FM weatherband radio, a
single CD player and the optional 6-disc CD changer and
SIRIUS Satellite Radio.1
This glovebox-mounted input
lets you connect digital music players to the vehicle’s
sound system. An iPod Integration Kit3 is available as
an accessory, which fully integrates with the audio
system as well as the multifunction steering wheel
and display.
Seats Six.
Q ui e t s “A r e We
There Yet?”
You and your passengers deserve nothing less than space,
comfort and fun. For all. The R-Class’s interior space
delivers. An 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat lets you
find just the right position and posture. An electronically
operated column-mounted shifter opens up space in the
center console area and adds visual elegance. The 2nd-row
seats feature 4-way seating positions, making it one of the
most versatile 2nd rows on the road. And these and other
thoughtful details, like large rear doors that open wide for
ease of entry, make the most of every outing.

Vi e w.
Over a century of designing automobiles has taught us that form should follow
function, and that both should lead to beauty, comfort and delight. That’s why the
R-Class’s body has been meticulously designed, making this roomy vehicle look
as nimble and dashing as its performance. The progressive shape of the front end
creates a sporty look. Character-enhancing styling lines travel the length of the
vehicle. A wide-set stance emphasizes its aggressive presence. And there is an
optional Panorama Roof that invites gazing at the sky and stars.
Their organic shape illuminates the perfect marriage of technology
and style. And when paired with optional Bi-Xenon curve-illuminating headlamps and
corner-illuminating foglamps that activate automatically, they create a lighting system that
significantly outperforms traditional headlamps.

The R-Class gives you the freedom to customize the driving
experience for you and your passengers. Dual-zone climate
control uses 11 vents to give passengers maximum control
over their environment. And with flexible entertainment
options available, 2nd-row passengers can watch their
favorite DVDs, listen to CDs or play games. And you and
your front-seat passenger can focus on the destination.

A wealth of per formance, comfor t and st yling
features defines the R 350. For example, the power
delivered by a dual overhead cam V-6, paired with
a 7-speed automatic transmission, keeps six people
happily in their six seats. Handling features like
4mati c™ permanent 4-wheel drive standard, 4-wheel
independent suspension and 4- channel antilock
brakes help ensure that all this power is used wisely.
So whether you’re accelerating from a stoplight
or cruising down the highway to the beach, it’s
performance that definitely holds your attention.

Space you can make your own is what the
R-Class is all about. Need to make room
for groceries? Treasures found antiquing?
Friends? Seats that fold flat in a number of
combinations create a space that’s perfect
for a number of needs. With the 2nd- and
3rd-row seats down, the R-Class boasts an
8-foot-long loading floor area and up to 85
cu. ft. of cargo space behind the front seats.

F i r m ly G r i p s
The Road.
And Your
Imagination.
This important
safety system monitors the relationship between the
vehicle and the road. It can sense, even before the driver,
a skid or loss of directional stability, instantly working
to correct the situation. At the first sign of oversteer
(fishtailing), ESP1 automatically applies the brakes on
the wheel or wheels needed to counteract the skid. The
same instantaneous correction occurs should the vehicle
understeer (plow) while taking a sharp turn.
It’s part of a
breakthrough in drivetrains that makes the R-Class
a fast, satisfying, fuel-efficient ride. When in Drive, the
transmission continually monitors variables like engine
and vehicle speed, engine and transmission temperature
and even road resistance, shifting to the best gear for
a smooth ride and the least wear on the transmission.
Two overdrive gears help conserve fuel when cruising.
matic
For enhanced traction in slippery
conditions, the Mercedes-Benz 4matic permanent
4-wheel drive system incorporates our advanced
4-wheel Electronic Traction System. 4-ETS can
get you going even when only one wheel has grip.
Sensors at each wheel monitor traction. If one or
more wheels start to slip, 4-ETS can brake those
wheels individually and shift power to the wheels
with the most traction. It can rebalance power
seamlessly and enhances the overall effectiveness
of 4-wheel drive.
Every quarter-second, the front and
rear shock absorbers adjust to produce smoother
and more precise handling and ride. Drivers can
activate this optional system manually at the touch
of a button. At high speeds, the vehicle lowers for
greater fuel efficiency and the least wind drag in its
class. Depressing the “Air Suspension” button raises
the vehicle a full three inches for better clearance
when driving on uneven roads or through snowdrifts
at speeds under 25 mph. Drivers can also set the
system to “Sport” for a more responsive ride, or
“Comfort” for a softer ride.
More than simply working superbly, the R-Class’s many
handling features all work together to create a satisfying,
secure driving experience. Sophisticated braking, traction
and suspension systems continually adjust to road and
driving conditions, driver demands and even cabin load.
A self-supporting, super-rigid unit body, married to a
4-wheel independent suspension, helps ensure precise
vehicle response at a high comfort level. And you
command this superior handling with a multifunction
steering wheel that’s as intuitive as it is helpful, equipped
with dual shift buttons that allow the driver to select
forward gears.
The R 350 is a rare example of details on a grand scale. Details like seats that fold flat
individually, rear doors that are big and accommodating and an 8-way power driver’s seat
mean the R-Class fits your busy lifestyle quite nicely. From visits to the store to pickups
from soccer practice. And features like an 80-watt audio system with an in-dash single-disc
CD player, rain-sensing intermittent wipers and our HomeLink® programmable garage door
opener leave you with the feeling that every detail has been thought of. And it has.
This digital
display seamlessly integrates with the audio,
optional DVD-based Navigation and Hands-
Free Communication Systems, allowing drivers
to easily control these functions.
7 sensors and
11 vents allow driver and front passenger to
control the temperature, force and direction of
the air in their individual environments.
Lustrous wood
trim, paired with leather and aluminum accents,
enriches the sumptuous interior.
The R-Class’s
suspension adjusts for vehicle load, keeping
the vehicle stable and balanced for better
control.
17" 7-spoke wheels

Burn Adrenaline
Fa s t e r
Than Fuel.
Seventy years ago, we sold the first diesel passenger
vehicle. We’ve reinvented it many times since, but the
2007 R 320 CDI offers advances as revolutionary as the
R-Class itself.1 Press the accelerator and experience an
astounding 398 lb-ft of peak torque that starts at just
1,600 rpm. Remarkably quiet and silky-smooth, this 3.0-
liter DOHC, 24-valve V-6 delivers exceptional response
whether you’re in town or out on the highway. Our
ultra-clean CDI technology reduces exhaust particulates,
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide levels further than
ever before. And its inherently efficient operation yields
up to 30% better fuel economy than comparable gasoline
engines, while producing notably less greenhouse gas
emissions. This landmark diesel engine technology also
offers a welcome alternative to trendy “hybrid” vehicles
that may limit emissions, but do not achieve the power
and handling of the R 320 CDI. When it comes to fuel
efficiency versus performance, Mercedes-Benz is pleased
to provide both.
To excel in both performance and efficiency,
the R 320 CDI uses a state-of-the-art
combination of high-pressure fuel injection
and an advanced turbocharger that
electronically adjusts the pitch of their guide
vanes, helping to minimize lag and optimize
control of boost pressure at all times. It’s
a formula that helps maximize the engine’s
efficiency and your driving fun.
Mercedes-Benz has been making smooth,
powerful, fuel-efficient diesel engines for
decades. Mercedes-Benz CDI technology
virtually eliminates the smoke, noise and
vibration traditionally associated with diesels,
while retaining all of the efficiency and torque
for which diesels are prized. As a result, the
R 320 CDI delivers you more driving fun with
fewer trips to the pump.

An
advantage in performance, safety and driving pleasure,
the R 500’s power steering automatically adjusts
to your needs. At slower speeds — when parking or
turning, for instance — more power is delivered for
ease, control and comfort. At higher speeds, power
assistance decreases for better road feel.
Motivation rises to a new level
of intensity with the 5.0-liter SOHC V-8 in the R 500.
Developing an exhilarating 302 horsepower and a
staggering 339 lb-ft of peak torque from 2,700 to
4,750 rpm, it sends the R 500 streaking to 60 mph in a
mere 6.7 seconds.1 Striking a brilliant balance between
strength and sophistication, this virtuoso V-8 matches
its high performance with low emissions.
R500
At The Head Of The
R-Class.
It is performance taken to the next level. And driving pleasure
taken to the level above that. The fun starts with the R 500’s
fuel-injected V-8. Its 3-valve-per-cylinder design delivers a
rare combination of power, speed and fuel efficiency. The
advanced power steering system senses just how much
power you need, to help give you a most satisfying road feel.
And the extra large, fully vented front and rear brakes are
equipped with piston-driven calipers that smoothly manage
the natural forward shift of weight when braking. Anytime
you feel you need to.

The R 500’s charms are as extensive as its cabin is spacious. The front seats are heated, and they, the mirrors
and the steering column remember your programmed positioning preferences when equipped with this memory
option. The steering wheel can even move up and out of your way when exiting the vehicle. An optional 6-disc
CD changer audio system, with MP3-CD capabilities and abundant polished Brown Birdseye Maple or optional
Burl Walnut wood trim with chrome inlays, complements the interior, just as chrome highlights the R-Class’s
dramatic exterior lines. Privacy glass helps keep the cabin cool and the R-Class chic.

R 63 AMG 6.2-liter V-8
Right
out of the gate, the R 63 AMG is dressed for
speed. Up front, it sports an extra wide air
dam equipped with foglamps and a black
AMG grille featuring chrome highlights. In
back, it struts flared rear-wheel arches,
sport-darkened taillamps, and an AMG
sport exhaust system with dual chrome
taillamps. Brightly finished 20" AMG
5-spoke light-alloy wheels2 come standard,
to intensify the bold look.
A New Spin On The
Space-Time
Continuum.
AMG, the high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz,
has endowed the R 63 AMG with the most powerful
naturally aspirated V-8 engine in the Mercedes-Benz
lineup. The R 63 AMG streaks from 0 to 60 mph in
a breathtaking 4.9 seconds,1 thanks to a handcrafted
6,208-cc V-8 that pumps out a stunning 503 peak
horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. To help the
R 63 AMG stop as effectively as it accelerates,1 special
dual-piston sliding calipers grip massive 15.4" internally
ventilated brake discs. Inside, heated AMG sport seats
with Alcantara shoulder inserts grip and support you with
heavily contoured side bolsters. The seats, front and rear
door panels and handles and armrests on the doors and
between the seats are all fitted with Nappa leather. With
its eager acceleration, nimble reflexes and sensational
stopping power, the R 63 AMG offers drivers a bracing
new twist on the luxury sports car driving experience,
while passengers enjoy arrivals ahead of schedule — and
a sporty ride.

To be most
effective, air bags must be fast. And smart. The R-Class’s adaptive
front air bags inflate at different rates, depending on the force of
the collision and, in the case of the passenger seat, the weight
classification of the front-seat occupants, to provide excellent
protection. Front- and 2nd-row side-impact air bags are also
standard.
Deployed
in a side impact exceeding the system’s deployment threshold,
this invaluable safety feature extends the length of the passenger
cabin, from the roofline down, by approximately 19 inches on the
impacted side of the vehicle. Inflation takes just 25 milliseconds
and can provide a significant reduction in head injuries.
Over 60% of the R-Class body panels are made of
High-Strength/Low-Alloy (HSLA) steel. The microstructure of this
steel can withstand heavy loads and extreme forces, adding to the
strength and safety of the passenger compartment.
The R-Class
4-channel antilock braking system is a combination
of interconnected sensors, technologies and
mechanics that creates braking performance that
is as intelligent as it is effective. For example,
because drivers tend not to apply brakes with
enough force early in an emergency, Brake Assist
directs maximum power assist to the brakes, based
on brake pedal application speed. R-Class brakes
also play key roles in the 4-wheel Electronic Traction
System and Electronic Stability Program — helping
to bolster systems that work to correct for loss of
directional control.
They go into action once the first drops fall.
For better performance, these aerodynamically
tuned wipers rest in a heated area to avoid joint
freezing, and move in a synchronized pattern that
clears windshields more effectively than traditional
wipers.
When sensors detect a rollover,
this system takes defensive measures: seat-belt
tensioners activate to help hold passengers more
firmly in place. Window Curtain Air Bags may
also inflate in some rollovers. All in just 25
milliseconds.
A Mercedes-Benz
is designed to protect and, if necessary, sacrifice
itself for the sake of its passengers. Front, rear,
underside and roof members are designed to help
dissipate some of the forces around and away
from the passenger compartment. Front and rear
crumple zones deform to help absorb some of the
energy of impacts. The passenger compartment’s
beams, bulkheads and pillars combine to create a
remarkably strong cabin.

The Ultimate Safety
S y s t e m .
The R-Class possesses some of the very latest in our long
history of safety advances for you and yours. In addition to
front air bags, the R-Class features Window Curtain Air Bags
that extend from the roofline down in all three rows, helping
to reduce head injuries. Even the steel used in selected
locations is more than just steel, it’s High-Strength/Low-
Alloy steel. These and other innovations are examples of a
dedication to safety that has never wavered.
When

push the Start button on the ignition lock — without
ever taking the key out of your pocket.
An upgraded sound system with 440-watt
digital sound, delivered by 11 speakers and
a subwoofer, turns the R-Class into a rolling
concert hall — especially when paired with the two
million selections currently found on the optional
SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
Handcrafted and made to match your
vehicle’s interior colors, this option is a symbol of
Mercedes-Benz excellence you’ll put your hands

Available for the R-Class and almost
like an extra pair of eyes when maneuvering in
tight spaces, Parktronic’s front and rear bumper
sensors activate audible signals and an illuminated
display when you get too close to an obstacle in
the system’s field of view.
Excellence
Is The Only
Option.
Systems that help you park when the parking’s tough, help you navigate
just about anywhere in our part of the world and let you start your vehicle
without reaching for a key. As you can see, when it comes to optional features,
Mercedes-Benz has made things quite simple — just choose from a wide variety
of the very best.
The R-Class can be equipped with an optional Panorama Roof that is more
than five feet long. When opened, the front glass panel slides up and over the rear glass panel,
so there’s no loss of headroom for rear passengers. The Panorama Roof, which is part of the
Premium 1 Package, also includes power pop-out rear quarter windows and dual 2-piece sun
visors. What’s gained is thrilling fun to rival all the many entertainment features.
Optional vents and controls offer greater comfort to rear passengers

24-hour Roadside Assistance
The first of its kind, the Mercedes-Benz Roadside
Assistance Program is still the only one that remains in
effect for the life of the vehicle. Our Roadside Assistance
technicians draw on years of experience and training to
get you back on the road as quickly as possible.4
Mercedes-Benz Warranties
Our New Vehicle Limited Warranty runs for 48 months
or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. And anytime
during the new vehicle warranty coverage, you can also
purchase a Mercedes-Benz Extended Limited Warranty
that will provide additional protection when the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.5
The Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System
We’ve made caring for your vehicle easier than ever. With
the Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System, the service
intervals are fixed and predictable — every 13,000 miles
or one year (10,000 miles or one year for AMG models).6
Your vehicle will even remind you, about one month before
service is due, via an automatic display on the dashboard
that also tells you which type of maintenance service is due.
The no-charge Service Welcome
Getting proper care for your Mercedes-Benz is easiest
when you go to the people who know your vehicle
— and you — best: your Mercedes-Benz Center’s Service
Department. To help you get acquainted, just bring your
vehicle in for a no-charge first visit between 1,000 and
3,000 miles, where your dealer will perform a diagnostic
check as well as address any questions you may have.
It’s part of our no-charge Service Welcome, which also
provides your first tire rotation at no charge anytime before
6,500 miles.7

phone call away at 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES.
Trip Interruption benefits
In the unlikely event that a breakdown covered by
your MBUSA New Vehicle Limited Warranty occurs
more than 100 miles from your home, leaves your
Mercedes-Benz inoperable or unsafe to drive and
requires overnight repairs at a Mercedes-Benz Center,
you’ll be reimbursed up to $300 per day for any
documented expenses — for up to three days — for
meals, lodging and substitute transportation.
Alternate Transportation Program
When you bring your vehicle into a Mercedes-Benz
Center for servicing during the warranty period,
ask about your dealer’s Alternate Transportation
Program — so you can maintain your busy schedule
while your dealer maintains your vehicle.10
