Summary

The R-Class lwb (V251) for the European market offers a royal space for passengers, especially in the first two rows. The OM642 engine in this configuration (224 hp) is quite flexible and offers better performance than the North American version. However, the heavy weight and the 4Matic system require attention to tyre wear and suspension elements. For this model, it is recommended to regularly check the DPF system to avoid clogs if it is mainly used in the city, as well as checking oil cooler gaskets.
