Summary

This model of the R 350 4MATIC represents the facelift of the second phase, but still maintains the reliable M272 engine before switching to BlueEFFICIENCY technology. Although it is lighter than diesel variants, fuel consumption in the city remains high due to its weight and AWD system. It's a great tool for long journeys, where the rear air suspension (which is standard in many LWB versions) offers a level of convenience similar to the S-Class. During the purchase, the condition of the suspension tyres and the operation of the luggage opening system, which often suffers electronic defects, must be carefully checked.
