The R 300 L and R 350 L 4MATIC models demonstrate the power of understatement. These V6 engines with four valves per cylinder and continuously variable camshaft adjustment deliver spontaneous power delivery with an output of 232 hp for the R 300 L and 272 hp for the R 350 L 4MATIC. The engines allow for relaxed cruising in higher gears – and the consumption figures are impressively low.

(R 300 L: fuel consumption combined: 11.1-11.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 260-267 g/km; R 350 L 4MATIC: fuel consumption combined: 11.6-11.9 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 271-279 g/km)[1]

Superior performance in all driving scenarios – that's the exceptional feature of the 8-cylinder engine in the new R 500 L 4MATIC. This translates to 388 hp of output and a maximum torque rating of 530 Nm. The R 500 L 4MATIC can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.3 seconds and boasts extraordinarily smooth performance across its entire engine speed range. Its adjustable intake and exhaust camshafts, and the use of numerous lightweight materials, also ensure great fuel economy.
