The 2011 Mercedes R-Class isn’t very new anymore, but this year’s exterior refresh is a sleek improvement over the 2010 model, according to Cars.com editor Mike Hanley. Too bad Mercedes didn’t think of updating the interior as thoroughly; it’s starting to look a bit dated. Despite that shortcoming and the relatively tight cargo quarters for such a large vehicle, the R-Class has a supple ride and decent enough fuel economy to stand out among the more traditional luxury family haulers.
