The MERCEDES-BENZ R CLASS (2006-10) R350L 5DR SPORT TOURER 3.5 V6 272 SE AUTO7 is a large, premium family people-carrier, blending estate-like styling with an SUV stance and three-row practicality. In the UK it occupies a rare niche between luxury MPVs and full-size SUVs, offering space and comfort rather than compact-car convenience. mycarcheck.com has recorded 35 checks covering 15 distinct VINs, so its figures offer context rather than a full-market survey. Checked examples average £3,600 in private-sale value, 89,000 miles and 4,000 miles a year, with two previous keepers on average. This pattern suggests some are used sparingly, making the R350L appealing for family holidays, school runs and comfortable long-distance journeys. Its V6, automatic gearbox and roomy cabin make it a relaxed alternative to the Mercedes-Benz GL and large people-carriers such as the Ford Galaxy, though running costs exceed mainstream family cars. Choose it for space, refinement and rarity, not economy.
