Mercedes Benz started its year with the launch of a versatile luxury people mover known as the V-class. A name not so popular in the Indian market, the MPV has finally arrived in Goa after a long gap.
The V-class gets the large van like stiloute a trademark established by MPV’s yet is kitted with sleeker appearance with sharp lines and sliding rear doors. It also gets LED headlamps with daytime running lights flanked by two bar front grille, functional yet large roof rails, and vertically placed LED taillamps.
Where the exterior screams for its van like proportions the interior has been designed with the concept of being as car like as possible. The dashboard is finished the same high quality material as you would find in other Merc’s along with wood and allumium on the dash. Also present in the cabin are 7-inch command screen for infortainment duties, individual A/C vents for second and third row, dash mounted command screen selector knob, multi-function steering wheel and circular air con vents.
MPV or people movers as they are known are said to be practical and spacious with enough space to fit in extra passengers and luggage as well. In the case of the V-class buyers have the option of choosing between a six seater variant with executive seats and 3200mm wheelbase or a seven seater with forward facing seats and 3400mm wheelbase.Key features 6-seaterKey features 7-setaer17-inch alloy wheels
