There are no direct comparisons to the 2009 Mercedes-Benz R-Class.
The Cadillac Escalade, while flashier than the 2009 Mercedes-Benz R-Class, runs close to parallel in terms of luxury.
The Escalade's passenger accommodations are also top-flight, but now that all R-Class models are V-6 powered, the Escalade easily outmuscles the Benz.
Another alternative is the Audi Q7, which delivers on the luxury end of the R-Class experience, but its rear seats are not as comfortable as the Mercedes-Benz's.
Plus, the Q7 looks like a traditional SUV and has a taller step-in height, a potential issue for older passengers.
The Q7 will soon add a diesel engine to the V-6 and V-8 engines already offered, and Cadillac produces a hybrid version of the Escalade.
The new Lincoln MKT—closely related to the Ford Flex—is perhaps the closest match yet to the R-Class for seating comfort in the second and third rows.
It’s also tremendously well equipped, though the Lincoln doesn’t offer a more fuel-efficient alternative as the others do.
