Interior Design

The Mercedes V-Class interior design exudes luxury and comfort from the second you get in via the sliding side doors, making every journey a first-class experience.

For instance the cabin features premium materials, including leather upholstery and really stylish wood trims, creating a very high-end finish and inviting atmosphere for all.

The spacious interior is designed for adaptability, with adjustable seating configurations to accommodate passengers and luggage effortlessly.

Ambient lighting then adds a touch of style, allowing for you to customise the cabin’s mood.

The ergonomic design then ensures that all controls are within easy reach while the panoramic sunroof floods the space with natural light.

Exterior Design

For its exterior, the Mercedes V-Class gives you a very sleek and dynamic exterior design that seamlessly combines style with functionality.

For instance, its bold front grille, which is adorned with the iconic Mercedes-Benz star, gives all who look at it a sense of luxury and presence on the road.

The streamlined silhouette, which is then accentuated by clean lines and smooth curves, further enhances the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency as well.

Stylish alloy wheels and chrome accents then add to its premium appeal.

The V-Class also features LED headlights and taillights, which in turn give you excellent visibility and a modern look.

While its Privacy glass not only adds a touch of exclusivity but also provides a level of comfort and security for your passengers - making the V-Class a standout in its class.

What are some of the luxury features available with the Mercedes V Class

As with any luxury MPV vehicle, you only expect premium features, and the V Class doesn't let you down in that area. Some of these - depending on which model you purchase - include:

Easy Pack Tailgate

To activate it, you simply can press the button on the Mercedes key - or alternatively, the release handle on the tailgate.

This tailgate feature also comes with automatic obstacle detection to make sure it doesn't open regardless of an object in its way and damage your rear door in doing so.

Panoramic sliding sunroof

For any luxury MPV or camper, having large amounts of interior light flooding the cabin is highly required. As a result, you won't be let down with the V Class, as its high-grade panoramic sliding roof will let in plenty of light.

Further to this, the panoramic roof can be electrically controlled to open at the front to let air into the cabin while driving or parked up.

This is then further enhanced with sunlight protection when required by having an integral electrical roller sunblind built in to act as a convenient protection from the sun.

This panoramic sunroof is also not small, with an impressive glass surface area of more than 2 metres2.

Burmester® surround sound system

The Burmester® surround sound system brings premium quality surround sound into the cabin due to its own amplifier and speaker system.
