As these images reveal, Mercedes-Benz is set to breathe new life into its lacklustre R-Class range with a facelifted prototype spied wearing heavy camouflage in the US recently.
It has been rumoured that the new model would share a similar appearance to the somewhat friendlier B-class people mover, although whether this will affect the current sales slump for the model remains to be seen.
The credentials for the R-Class are certainly not very inspiring, being too big, too cumbersome and too thirsty – in its current guise at least.
Although this perhaps reflects more on Mercedes’ need to fill every market niche rather than creating a truly practical people mover.
