Pros	Cons
Wide choice of body lengths and drivetrains	All-electric version is expensive
Premium image	Lacks a high-roof variant
Comfortable and relaxing to drive	The Ford Transit Custom has a greater load area and payload

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz Vito (2015-present) is a medium-sized van that offers a premium image and flexible configurations, setting it apart from many rivals. Initially available with 1.6-litre or 2.1-litre turbo diesel engines, and later with refined 2.0-litre units up to 187bhp, it provides diverse options for panel van, crew van, and Tourer applications. With a comfortable and competent driving experience, often paired with a smooth nine-speed automatic gearbox, it delivers a refined journey. While it doesn't offer a high-roof option and some competitors boast superior load capacity, the Vito compensates with a well-equipped interior, including a 10.25-inch MBUX infotainment system in later models. Running costs are transparent with long service intervals, and its strong residual values contribute to overall value. The Vito's blend of practicality, comfort, and premium appeal makes it a solid choice in the mid-sized van segment.

Best for: Buyers seeking a premium, comfortable, and flexible medium-sized van, those prioritising driving refinement and technology, and businesses looking for good value retention.

Not ideal for: Operators needing a high-roof variant, those requiring class-leading load capacity or payload, or buyers on a tight budget for an all-electric option.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Vito if: You're seeking a premium, comfortable, and flexible medium-sized van, prioritise driving refinement and technology, or desire good value retention.

Consider alternatives if: You need a high-roof variant, class-leading load capacity or payload, or are looking for a cheaper all-electric option.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz Vito (2015-present) holds a strong position in the medium-sized van market by offering a compelling blend of premium appeal, driving comfort, and advanced technology. While it might not lead the pack in sheer load volume or payload compared to rivals like the Ford Transit Custom, its flexible configurations, transparent running costs, and strong residual values make it an attractive choice. It caters well to businesses seeking a more refined and upmarket alternative, though the lack of a high-roof option and the cost of the eVito might steer some buyers towards competitors.
