2024 Mercedes-Benz V-Class, EQV, and Vito unveiled with styling tweaks and tech upgrades

ABU DHABI: Mercedes-Benz Vans has planned to introduce its Van Electric Architecture (VAN.EA) in 2026. But ahead of that, refreshed versions of the V-Class, V-Class Marco Polo, EQV, Vito, and e-Vito have been unveiled.

The changes to the midsize van lineup include refreshed exterior styling highlighted by new light signatures for the headlights and an enlarged grille. The V-Class and EQV boast a new dash design with dual 12.3-inch displays. The Vito and eVito vans get new safety features, a 5.5-inch instrument cluster, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen.

The passenger models are more luxurious than the commercial ones emphasising their practical approach. 

The revamped lineup also includes a new set of wheels in sizes ranging from 17 to 19 inches. Kalahari gold, sodalite blue, high-tech silver, alpine grey, and vintage blue have been added to the new colour palette. Furthermore, the V-Class and its electric counterpart have optional packages that improve their overall appearance.

The enhanced driver-assistance pack includes the following:

• Intelligent Speed Assist
• Active Lane Keeping Assist 
• Active Distance Assist Distronic
• Blind Spot Assist

Upon introducing the refreshed midsize van lineup, Head of Sales & Marketing Mercedes-Benz Vans, Klaus Rehkugler said, “We want to offer the most desirable vans and services and play a pioneering role in e-mobility – from MPVs to motor homes and commercial vans. Our new midsize van models are another step towards achieving this goal. The more mature luxury positioning of the EQV and V-Class and the sharpened premium character of the eVito and Vito will enable us to increase our focus on high-margin regions and industries.”

It is estimated that no change will be made to the powertrains meaning you can choose from a series of diesel options, including 4- and 6-cylinder options. In the eVito and EQV, you can choose an electric powertrain.
