The R 300 and R 350 4MATIC models demonstrate the power of understatement. These V6 engines with four valves per cylinder and continuously variable camshaft adjustment deliver spontaneous power delivery with an output of 170 kW for the R 300 and 200 kW for the R 350 4MATIC. The petrol engines also allow for relaxed cruising in higher gears - and the consumption figures are impressively low.

(R 300: fuel consumption combined: 11.1-11.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 260-267 g/km; R 350 4MATIC: fuel consumption combined: 11.6-11.9 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 271-279 g/km)[1]

Superior performance in all driving scenarios - that's the exceptional feature of the 8-cylinder engine in the new R 500 4MATIC. This translates to 285 kW of output and a maximum torque rating of 530 Nm. The R 500 4MATIC can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.3 seconds and boasts extraordinarily smooth performance across its entire engine speed range. Its adjustable intake and exhaust camshafts, and the use of numerous lightweight materials, also ensure great fuel economy.
