Summary

The R 350 with M272 engine offers a very smooth and linear driving experience, being a good alternative for those who prefer gasoline to diesel engines. Being the long-base variant (lwb), the comfort in the third row is undisputed. For this specific 2008 model, it is important to check whether the engine belongs to the improved series after problems with the balance shaft gear, as well as to regularly check the status of the 7G-Tronic suspension and transmission system for smooth gear shifts.
