A unique grand tourer that blends elements of SUVs, minivans, and station wagons. It was available in two body styles: short wheelbase (W251) and long wheelbase (V251), accommodating up to seven passengers. It possessed a distinctive style that transcended genre boundaries. After two facelifts in 2007 and 2010, production ended in 2017. No successor model was introduced, leaving its unique position in the market vacant to this day.
