2024 Mercedes-Benz V-Class W447

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^[1], as a panel van from 47,074.02 euros¹ and as a Vito Tourer from 57,924.44 euros¹. The eVito is available as a panel van from 63,438.90 euros¹ and as a Tourer from 68,397.63 euros¹. The list price of the V-Class and EQV MPVs starts at 59,469.00 euros¹ and 75,410.00 euros1 respectively; and of the V-Class Marco Polo camper van starts at 80,005.00 euros¹.

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.

“We want to offer the most desirable vans and services – from MPVs and campers to commercial vans. Our new midsize van models are a further step towards achieving this goal. The more sophisticated luxury positioning of the EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo and the refined premium character of the eVito and Vito will enable us to more heavily focus on high-margin regions and sectors.” 
Klaus Rehkugler, Head of Sales and Marketing Mercedes-Benz Vans

The updates at a glance

Customers can look forward to numerous updates to the Mercedes‑Benz midsize van models:

• 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.

There are significant changes inside, too. In the EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo, there’s a wide-screen cockpit with two 31.24‑centimetre (12.3‑inch) displays; eVito and Vito both get an intuitive 26.04‑centimetre (10.25-inch) central display and a new instrument cluster with a 13.97‑centimetre (5.5‑inch) colour display. All models also feature new stylish air vents, a next-generation steering wheel with capacitive hands-off detection, and a new centre console that can be equipped with a wireless smartphone charger^[3],[4].

• A new level of comfort and functionality: Further new features in all midsize van models include the KEYLESS start function and optional steering-wheel heating. For the first time, the new EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo also feature ambient lighting with 64 colours for an even more personalised and cosy atmosphere, as well as dimmed rear lighting for when driving at night. For more convenient access to the rear, the V-Class and EQV now also have a sliding door on the left-hand side of the vehicle as standard. For the Vito Tourer, Mixto^[5]and eVito Tourer, the electric EASY-PACK tailgate is available for the first time for convenient loading and unloading. In addition, all the commercial models with automatic transmission are equipped with an electric parking brake for the first time. And these are just a few selected examples.

• MBUX multimedia system: Providing customers with an unrivalled digital and interactive experience, the new midsize van portfolio is equipped with the latest generation of the MBUX (Mercedes‑Benz User Experience) multimedia system as standard – a first for the Vito and eVito. Thanks to the new MBUX, drivers of the EQV, V-Class and V-Class Marco Polo benefit from additional functions such as ENERGIZING comfort control.

• A variety of intelligent, digital extras: The MBUX multimedia system, in conjunction with a Mercedes me account^[6],[7], also offers a wide range of digital extras designed to make everyday life even easier and more efficient. Various functions can be used before and after the journey or while on the road. These include free services such as maintenance, accident and breakdown management as well as remote services such as the ability to lock and unlock the doors and open and close the windows via the Mercedes me app. Other helpful services include navigation with live traffic information, car-to-x communication and the extended MBUX functions using the “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant that can search online for nearby points-of-interest, including restaurants or hotels.
