Vans have somewhat fallen out of favour for SUVs nowadays, but the segment is still kicking nonetheless. Moving people in luxury is fun, though, and luxury vans, at least in the overseas area, are quite popular. Cue the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, now in its updated form. We attended the launch of the V-Class, and you can read our thoughts here.

First-class comfort, an updated exterior design with the Silver Arrow badge taking pride of place on the bonnet, and a comprehensive list of safety and driver assistance systems. The V-Class comfortably accommodates 6 passengers and features a fold-out table and seats for a lounge-style experience with ambient lighting. How much can you expect to pay for a V-Class with all this equipment?
How much will it cost?
Here on AutoTrader, we use a standard finance model for car repayments. Do you know what you qualify for? If you do, you can skip ahead and try out the AutoTrader Finance Calculator tool to see your potential repayments for a V-Class. To calculate the monthly repayments, we'll use a typical finance agreement with a 72-month term and a 10% deposit. You can have a balloon or residual payment, but we won't use that in this calculation. For this calculation, we'll use an interest rate of prime plus 2% for an interest rate resulting in 13.75%. Your credit profile determines the interest rate, so you'll have to check what interest rate you qualify for. After our calculation, your payment will look like this for the single available variant:
Mercedes-Benz V300d Exclusive
Purchase price: from R2 267 768
Estimated monthly repayment: R41 783
Total interest: R967 413
Total estimated repayment: R3 008 404
