New exterior and cockpit design: The updated design gives the EQV, V‑Class and V‑Class Marco Polo, as well as the eVito and Vito, a more distinctive visual USP in their respective segments. All models get a new front design, which is characterised by a prominent grille and a distinctively styled bumper. There are elegantly designed adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlights, which are available either as standard or as an optional extra depending on the equipment line, newly designed LED lights at the rear, as well as new paint colours and wheel designs. On the EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo, an LED light strip surrounds the grille, depending on the selected configuration. The top-of-the-range V-Class EXCLUSIVE also has a prestigious, upright Mercedes star ornament mounted on the bonnet for the first time. At the rear, the midsize vans for private use now feature a new chrome trim with Mercedes-Benz lettering.
This summer, Mercedes‑Benz Vans presented its new midsize model series for private and commercial use. Now, the sales launch is fast approaching. The midsize van portfolio boasts a new exterior and interior design, as well as increased comfort and functionality, especially thanks to an increase in intelligent, digital connectivity options and enhanced safety and assistance systems. All models will be available to order in January 2024 from sales partners and shortly online. The Vito is available as a Mixto from 46,210.80 euros, as a panel van from 47,074.02 euros and as a Vito Tourer from 57,924.44 euros. The eVito is available as a panel van from 63,438.90 euros and as a Tourer from 68,397.63 euros. The list price of the V-Class and EQV MPVs starts at 59,469.00 euros and 75,410.00 euros respectively; and of the V-Class Marco Polo camper van starts at 80,005.00 euros.
A differentiated strategic approach was adopted regarding the new midsize van portfolio. For the commercial vans, including the eVito and Vito, the company is pursuing a more focused premium strategy. In the future a luxury strategy will apply to all newly developed midsize vans positioned for private use, as it will to all Mercedes‑Benz passenger cars. The aim is to fully implement this strategic change with the introduction of the upcoming modular and scalable Van Electric Architecture – VAN.EA for short – from 2026 onwards. The new midsize vans for private use – EQV, V-Class and V‑Class Marco Polo – are an important milestone on this journey.
Wide range of drive systems available: Customers purchasing the all-electric EQV and eVito Tourer models can choose between two battery sizes (90 and 60 kWh), with a peak output of 150 kW (204 PS) and a continuous output of 70 kW (95 PS) (provisional values WLTP: EQV: combined power consumption: 30.6 – 27.4 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km // eVito Tourer: combined power consumption: 30.1 – 26.9 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km). The eVito panel van comes with a 60 kWh battery, a peak output of 85 kW (116 PS) and a continuous output of 70 kW (95 PS) (provisional values WLTP: eVito panel van: power consumption combined: 26.9 – 21.2 kWh/100 km;combined CO₂ emissions: 0 g/km)11. The EQV features an electric range of up to 326 – 363 kilometres, the eVito Tourer up to 332 – 370 kilometres and the eVito panel van up to 242 – 314 kilometres – thanks to efficient regenerative braking and optimised thermal management; the latter further increases real-world efficiency and range. All e-models in the midsize range are capable of charging with alternating current (AC) at home or at public charging stations with up to 11 kW. They can also charge with direct current (DC) at fast-charging stations with up to 110 kW (EQV, eVito Tourer) or 80 kW (eVito panel van) as standard.
The tried-and-tested and efficient OM654 diesel engine is available for the V-Class, V-Class Marco Polo and Vito. In the V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo, the engine is available in three output levels (120 kW (163 PS), 140 kW (190 PS), 174 kW (237 PS)). In the Vito it's available in up to five output levels (75 kW (102 PS; N1 only), 100 KW (136 PS), 120 kW (163 PS), 140 kW (190 PS), 174 kW (237 PS, M1 only)) (provisional values WLTP: V-Class: fuel consumption combined: 8.8 – 6.9 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 231 – 181 g/km // V-Class Marco Polo: fuel consumption combined: 9.0 – 7.4 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 236 – 195 g/km // Vito: fuel consumption combined: 8.7-6.8 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 227 – 178 g/km)[14]. In addition, a new petrol engine, the M254, will be available as a mild hybrid for the V-Class, Vito Tourer and Vito Mixto in the course of the new year (2024) – a first for Europe.
The 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and a selection of different suspensions and driving modes ensure that all models offer both agile and comfortable driving characteristics. The internal combustion variants are available with rear-wheel drive as standard; the diesel models also come with optional all-wheel drive. The electric models have front-wheel drive.
