Mercedes-Benz Vans has increased in popularity in recent years thanks to the massive popularity of the V-Class within the local market. The introduction of a new version which appears to have a drastically updated interior should see both the Vito and V-Class perform well when they arrive. Key changes include a revised front-end design, new alloy wheel and exterior colour options and the inclusion of the 12.3-inch MBUX instrument cluster and infotainment system systems. The engine line-up is said still to include the 2.0-litre turbodiesel in various states of tune while and all-electric version is likely on the cards for the local market too!

The exact arrival date of the V-Class and Vito to South Africa is yet to be confirmed at the time of writing, but the company hopes to introduce these vehicles within the next 18-24 months.
