Producing of R-Class started in 2005 but it has been producing with four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive since year of 2007. There were only six- and eight-cylinder gasoline or diesel engines before restyling in arsenal which was built on basis of offroader Mercedes-Benz ML. Mercedes R-Class whose forthcoming we have to expect was gone over by autojournalists, but people met him with indifference.
Strange appearance and sky-high price held back selling as many cars of R-Class as Mercedes Company had expected. They wished 50 000 car per year but now they have less than 20 000 cars per year. So, restyling. There are retouched back lights, new back bumper and new pipes of exhaust system with changed forms. After restyling novelty will has new headlights and modernized front bumper. Besides new R-Class will be offered with new variants of interior decoration and modernized power units.
Furthermore AMG version won’t be. We remind that because of lack of consumer demand R 63 AMG was took out of production in 2007. Presentation ceremony of R-Class will take place on Motorshow in Detroit in January, next year. Sales will start right after opening. But even marketing specialists of Mercedes-Benz don’t know if new generation of quite strange model will appear.
