The Mercedes-Benz R-class Long version (V251, facelifted in 2010) ranges in length from 4922 mm to 5157 mm (193.9 to 203.0 inches). This variation depends on specific trim configurations or optional equipment but generally places the vehicle firmly in the full-size luxury station wagon category. The extended length improves interior space, especially benefiting rear passengers and increasing cargo capacity when rear seats are folded.
The Mercedes-Benz R-class Long has a body width of 1922 mm (75.7 inches). When factoring in the side mirrors fully opened, the width increases to 2183 mm (85.9 inches). This is an important consideration for urban driving and garage parking, as the mirror-open width approaches the upper limits for some tight parking spaces, but provides better visibility on the road.
The vehicle stands 1674 mm (65.9 inches) tall, giving it a commanding road presence typical of luxury station wagons and crossovers. This height contributes to a comfortable seating position with good visibility and ample headroom for passengers, making it suitable for long journeys and family use.
The curb weight of the 2010-2014 Mercedes R-class Long varies from approximately 2100 kg to 2260 kg (4630 to 4980 lbs), depending on the configuration and optional equipment. Such weight is typical for a luxury station wagon with a large interior and advanced safety features, contributing to a solid, stable ride but potentially affecting fuel consumption and agility compared to lighter models.
The maximum weight (gross vehicle weight rating) for this generation ranges between 2840 kg and 2920 kg (6260 to 6435 lbs). This max weight includes passengers, cargo, and towing capacity, ensuring safe operation without overstressing components like brakes and suspension, especially important for a vehicle designed to carry families and luggage in comfort.
The 2010-2014 Mercedes-Benz R-class Long provides substantial luggage space. With all rear seats in use, the cargo volume is 633 liters (22.3 cubic feet), suitable for daily needs and family groceries. Folding the rear seats flat expands this capacity significantly to 2385 liters (84.2 cubic feet), allowing for extensive cargo loads like bulky sports equipment or luggage for long trips.
Due to its length of up to 5157 mm (203 inches or roughly 17 feet), width including mirrors of 2183 mm (85.9 inches), and height of 1674 mm (66 inches), fitting the R-class Long into a standard single-car garage is possible but may require careful maneuvering. Standard garages usually accommodate vehicles up to around 5 meters (16.4 feet) in length and 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) in width including mirrors. Drivers with tighter garage spaces might find it somewhat challenging, especially when opening doors and mirrors inside.
Compared to the pre-facelift R-class models, the 2010 facelift version retained similar key dimensions but improved styling and aerodynamic features. The length varies up to 5157 mm compared to slightly shorter older models around 4922 mm, offering more interior space, especially for third-row passengers in some trims. No major changes in width or height were made, preserving the vehicle’s spacious and commanding stance while improving refinement and comfort.
The R-class Long stands out among luxury station wagons and crossovers for its extended length (up to 5.16 meters / 203 inches) and generous interior space. Compared to rivals like the Volvo XC90 or BMW X5 of similar era, the R-class offers more cargo volume, especially with rear seats folded (2385 liters/84.2 cubic feet). It is also wider than many competitors at 1922 mm (75.7 inches) wide body, providing good shoulder room but requiring attention when driving in tight spaces. Its curb weight is on par with luxury SUVs, reflecting its upscale equipment and size.
