Expressive: the new front section is full of character
At the front end of the Mercedes-Benz R-Class, the bonnet, wings, radiator grille, headlamps and bumper have been completely redesigned. On request, in conjunction with bi-xenon headlamps, a chrome insert enhances the integrated LED daytime driving lights. The character of the Mercedes R-Class can also be underlined by an optional, strikingly contoured, chrome-look underguard.
The new bonnet has more marked contours, and is more arrow-shaped at the
front edge. The wider, higher radiator grille is more steeply angled, while the
bumper cladding is more striking, with clear-cut lines. The side recesses in the
bumper, where the fog lamps and daytime driving lights are located, are spaced
well apart and give the front section an impression of width. The lines of the
side skirts are harmoniously continued forward in the updated wings and grille.
The new, dynamic "face" of the Mercedes-Benz R-Class is particularly impressive.
The newly designed headlamps blend perfectly into the front end, emphasising the
horizontal lines. The "eyelids" continue the beltline along the flanks, and are
arranged above the chromed headlamp tubes to produce an assertive, concentrated
gaze.
