About this generation

The facelifted W251 R-Class updated the original model with revised styling and continued the same overall luxury crossover/MPV concept. In the U.S., this phase was sold from the 2011 model year through 2013, with the R350 4MATIC remaining the core offering. This was the final phase of the R-Class before the nameplate ended.
