Mercedes-Benz Vans HQ unveiled its new mid-sized segment with a changed exterior design as well as interior upgrades in Stuttgart, Germany.
The exterior design will give the V-Class a more distinctive and unique design. The front grille of the V-Class has a more elegant design and will also have newly designed LED lights.
Marinus Venter (General Manager of Product & Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Vans SA) says they are delighted with the latest versions of their esteemed V-Class and Vito models, representing another step forward in their commitment to enhancing luxury in private life and elevating premium character in business.
“These new editions exemplify our dedication to innovation, design and quality. Although we have no confirmed timeline as of yet, we hope to see these vehicles in South Africa in the next 18-24 months,” he says.
Full details of the models, specifications and performance will be known closer to the South African unveiling of the new V-Class and Vito.
