The new V-Class provides optimum flexibility when it comes to use of the interior and cuts an elegant figure at the same time. With the two equipment lines; V-Class and V-Class Avantgarde, an Exterior Sports package and an Interior Design package for each line, two wheelbases, three body lengths from 4895 - 5370mm, and also many optional extras, the new V-Class can be individualized to suit any taste and requirement.
The new V-Class comes with the state-of-the-art 2.1-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine with two-stage turbocharging, already proven highly successful in the A-Class to the S-Class, and has now been further enhanced specifically for the V-Class.
The V 220 d generates 163hp and 380Nm with a fuel consumption of just 5.7 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions of 149 grams per kilometre, the V 220 d occupies an absolutely leading position in the segment.
Exterior-wise, the centre of the powerful front is the upright radiator grille with the three-dimensional central star and the progressively designed headlamps, which for the first time in this segment offer all lighting functions in LED technology as an option.
The interior of the V-Class features high-quality materials with a pleasant touch and feel. A harmonious colour concept, intricate details as well as a progressive and sensuous design idiom convey outstanding high-class appeal in the segment. Fine nappa leather is available for the seats, steering wheel and shift lever. This inviting atmosphere is rounded off by subtle ambient lighting in three colours.
The Mercedes-Benz V-Class is the only vehicle in the segment to offer optional 4-way lumbar support and active seat ventilation with reversing fans to ensure a consistent relative humidity at the contact area with the leather seat for driver and front passenger.
The seating in the rear allows numerous configurations to meet any requirements. As standard, the V-Class is equipped with four individual luxury seats with armrests in two seat rows. Thanks to improved technology and operating logic, they can be folded forward intuitively to afford fast and easy access to the rear. As an option, a folding table can be installed between the single seats.
A high level of driving comfort and an exemplary standard of safety are ensured by a total of 11 innovative driver assistance systems. They are based on state-of-the-art radar, camera and ultrasound sensors, which were introduced in the new E-Class and S-Class under the name "Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive". Standard equipment includes Crosswind Assist, which helps the driver to stabilise the V-Class in strong, gusting crosswinds, and Attention Assist, which can warn of inattention and drowsiness.
To enhance personal driving pleasure, the V-Class is the only vehicle in its segment to offer the Agility Select function in conjunction with the automatic transmission. At the push of a button the driver can select from four driving modes: economical, comfortable, sporty and manual.
"With the new V-Class, we are expanding the Mercedes-Benz premium passenger car range with a saloon for up to eight people. Functionality is a must for the V-Class. It is a versatile, multi-talented vehicle which offers value, efficiency and safety at the highest level to suit the lifestyle of the affluent Malaysian,” said vice president, sales & marketing passenger cars, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Mark Raine.
The new V 220 d is available for order at all authorised Mercedes-Benz dealers starting from RM 434,888 (on-the-road without insurance).
