The Mercedes V-Class, a luxurious eight seater van with a plush interior and a generous cargo space is the ultimate people carrier. The leather-clad seats provide high comfort to all passengers while the flexible seating configuration allows you to reposition the rear seats so that they will face each other for easier interaction. In case you need extra space, we offer the Mercedes V-Class Long featuring an extended wheelbase.
As another great alternative, the Mercedes Vito, a luxurious MPV with seating for eight and advanced infotainment system, will be an ideal driving companion on the Portuguese roads.
