\"\"<\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz has always classified the R-Class as an SUV or Crossover and we’ve always felt that the model should be classified by what it actually looks like – a minivan. Well, at the 2010 New York Auto Show Mercedes-Benz will try to change our minds… and it’s kind of working.<\/p>\n

The Stuttgart automaker will unveil the new 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class in New York next week with an SUV-like front end and mildly facelifted rear-end. It seems like Mercedes-Benz is hoping the changes will bring SUV buyers who were turned off by the minivan styling of the current R class.<\/p>\n

There are no mechanical changes to the 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-Class so you’ll still get to buy one with a 3.5L gasoline engine making 268-hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 3.0L turbo-diesel V6 will also be offered making 210-hp with a peak torque of 398 lb-ft.<\/p>\n

We’ll have more info for you next week from the 2010 New York Auto Show<\/a> so make sure you look out for our live coverage kicking off this Wednesday.<\/p>\n
