You can expect a high degree of business and comfort in a vehicle like this. In standard configuration, you can accommodate 6 passengers, including the driver and even have a fold-out table for a lounge-style experience. You can also expect a comprehensive list of safety and driver assistance systems. Powerwise, a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine makes 174kW and 500Nm, making for effortless commuting. What is the cheapest one you can get, though?
Pricing
The V-Class purchase price includes a PremiumDrive Plan with services plans ranging from 5-7 years and 100 000km - 140 000km and a 5-year /100 000km warranty.
