You can improve the strengths of the R-Class even further: for example, the roof spoiler adds a distinctive sportiness. And if you need more stowage space, we recommend the obox XL with an impressive volume of around 450 litres. It can open to the left or the right and is available in a metallic titanium or matt silver finish. Add the optional ski-holder insert and you can securely stow up to five pairs of skis in the box.

And there are two practical ways of taking bicycles with you, either with the New Alustyle roof-mounted bicycle rack or the rear-mounted New Alustyle carrier, which is quickly and easily attached to the trailer coupling. Both versions are able to accommodate up to three bicycles.

An iPod® Interface Kit is also available for the R-Class, designed to incorporate your iPod® elegantly into the audio system. The iPod® is connected to the system inside the glove compartment, where it is hidden from prying eyes. While on the move you can select tracks using the multifunction steering wheel.
