2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class

This larger station wagon is based on the Grand Sports Tourer Vision R concept, which was introduced in Detroit last year. The R-Class will be built in Vance, Ala. A long-wheelbase version will be produced for the U.S. market, alongside a short-wheelbase equivalent, which will be exported to Europe. Eventually, Mercedes is expected to sell the short-wheelbase version in the U.S. with its larger sibling. Annual production will fall around 50,000 units, about half of which will be intended for domestic consumption. Minimize
