Kevin Swallow looks back at the last R500 CM tested from new from the manufacturer All roadtests are ultimately about one thing — fuel. This is the first thing you'll have looked at, and you probably sucked your teeth at 7.40mpg. Scania will be disappointed with the R500's result, but extra miles on the clock might have improved matters.
Other than that, Scania has kept its promises from the Four-Series; the R-Series boasts improved style, power and desirability.
The Highline cab is an excellent working environment, and the V8 R500 offers strong performance.
And check out its residuals. Scania leads the marketplace, so depreciation over three or five years will count for less as you run your rule over the margins to see if you can afford this vehicle.
