Mercedes-Benz V-Class (2015-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent space and practicality	Ludicrously expensive compared with rivals
Lots of standard equipment	Smartphone integration costs you extra
Poshest-feeling car in the class	Lofty running costs, too

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz V-Class (2015-present) is a luxury eight-seater MPV based on the Vito panel van, offering cavernous interior space combined with sophisticated cabin design. Available in Long and Extra Long variants, it features flexible seating arrangements with seats that can be slid, folded, or removed entirely. The cabin delivers genuine luxury with premium materials and finishes, electric sliding doors, and a commanding driving position with excellent visibility. Two 2.0-litre diesel engines are available: the V220d with 163bhp and the V300d with 233bhp, both delivering smooth, refined performance with impressive torque delivery and nine-speed automatic gearboxes.

The V-Class excels in comfort and practicality, with soft suspension that absorbs road imperfections whilst maintaining composure. Standard equipment is extensive, including leather upholstery, heated electric front seats, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, DAB radio, Bluetooth, and built-in satnav. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto incur additional costs, and the infotainment system uses older technology with dated graphics. Running costs are substantial, with official fuel economy of 36-37mpg and insurance groups ranging from 37-44. At over £70,000, it commands a premium over rivals, though it remains the most luxurious option in its class.

Best for: Buyers prioritising luxury, space, and comfort for passenger transport; those seeking the most prestigious people carrier; executives and VIP transport requirements.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers; those seeking the best value for money; drivers wanting the latest infotainment technology; those concerned about fuel economy and running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the V-Class if: You prioritise luxury, space, and comfort for passenger transport, seek the most prestigious people carrier, or require a vehicle for executive and VIP transport.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, seeking the best value for money, wanting the latest infotainment technology, or concerned about fuel economy and running costs.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz V-Class (2015-present) is the most luxurious option in the premium people carrier segment, delivering unmatched cabin quality and refinement. Whilst rivals like the Volkswagen Multivan offer better value and the Toyota Proace Verso provides solid practicality, the V-Class remains the choice for those prioritising prestige and premium feel. Its substantial price premium is justified by superior materials, extensive standard equipment, and the Mercedes badge, though buyers must accept higher running costs and older infotainment technology. For those wanting a V-Class, only a V-Class will do; for others, alternatives offer compelling value.
