Mercedes-Benz R-Class

Price: From R577 400

Want the ultimate in luxury and comfort? This magnificent Merc, available with five or seven seats, is akin to first class air travel, sans any turbulence. And you never need worry about being overweight or having too much luggage; in the standard-wheelbase versions the luggage compartment has space for 1 950 litres, while the long-wheelbase version boasts 2 385 litres. In all five-seat variants there is a separate stowage compartment beneath the load compartment floor. If you want a vehicle in which to travel vast distances and you can afford the R-Class, don’t even consider anything else.
