Mercedes-Benz V-Class Vans Get Revitalized before Full EV Era

• Mercedes-Benz has revealed a new lineup of V-class cargo and passenger vans.

• They feature fresh interior and exterior designs, with a redesigned instrument panel and an assortment of updated tech.

• The new V-class likely won't come stateside since Mercedes has made plans to pull the Metris from the U.S. market following the 2023 model year.

The Mercedes-Benz Metris is dead in the United States after 2023, as is the rest of the mid-size-van segment. Since they're still desirable in other markets, Mercedes has revealed a new series of V-class cargo and passenger vans. The diverse lineup ranges from the standard version to the electric EQV to the campsite-exploring Marco Polo van.

Revitalized V-Classes

The updated vans have redesigned instrument clusters and the latest version of Mercedes's MBUX infotainment system. The standard V-class, Marco Polo, and EQV come equipped with a pair of 12.3-inch displays and a new center console that features an optional wireless charger. Mercedes also turned up the luxe dial on the new vans, adding a remote-start function, heated steering wheel, dimmed rear lighting for night driving, and 64-color ambient interior lighting.
