2009 Mercedes R-Class - spy shots

The R-Class has never been a very successful model, but Mercedes is trying one more time to change the design of the car, just maybe some miracle will happen!

The design of the 2009 R-Class will be inspired by the newly launched B-Class featuring tweaked new bumpers, additional chrome detailing, new alloys and LED lights.

The facelift R-Class will go on sale in 2009 keeping the same engine line-up: the R280 CDI, R320 CDI and R500 petrol in SE and Sport trim levels, with the R320 available as a seven-seater.
