Summary

This version of the R 350 CDI is the most demanded diesel variant due to its high power (265 hp) and massive torque of 620 Nm. Unlike the BlueTEC version, this model follows the Euro 5 rate and does not require AdBlue, simplifying maintenance. The 4MATIC system and the weight of the vehicle require the tyres and the braking system to always be in optimum condition.
