Tourer idea combines the best features of familiar vehicle concepts such

create a new and unique entity. This Mercedes concept thus offers comfort,
space and practicality as well as meeting extremely high standards in
terms of performance and driving dynamics. It also provides outstanding
long-distance comfort. In other words, it is an all-new interpretation of
the "touring car".
