Van-tastic! 2023 Mercedes V-Class Review

  • The Mercedes V-Class might look like a van in a posh outfit, but it's become a popular choice for chauffeuring A-listers and VIPs for good reason: it's roomy, luxuriously trimmed, and very discreet.
    The 2023 V-Class is available with two engines and in two body lengths. The standard body is 5.14m long, while the extra long body measures 5.37m. The engines are both two twin-turbocharged, four-cylinder diesels, and both paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox. The entry-level V220 d produces 163bhp, while the flagship V300 d has 237bhp. There's also a fully electric EQV with a range of around 200 miles from a charge - although bear in mind that's less than half what you'll manage in the diesel.
    In this CarGurus UK review, Rebecca Jackson tests the extra long V300 d to see what the V-Class has to offer, be it for families, celebrities or VIPs. Practicality is explored across the V-Class's three twos and eight full-size seats, plus Rebecca weighs up the driving position and infotainment, and of course takes the big Mercedes for a drive to see how it behaves on the road.
    Would you consider a V-Class over a big SUV?

    A great quick review Rebecca. For wannabe VIP's or VIP's that want to travel slightly incognito this car/van works. On British roads it makes a lot more sense than a stretch limo. If it was my money I'd go for this over the Defender as I don't need the crazy off road performance.

    I covered the DTM for Red Bull Spain from late 2014 to 2019. The media shuttles for Audi, BMW and Mercedes were manufacturer-related (for Audi, they started being VW transporters T6). I usually wanted to get the Mercedes, because I could ride shotgun and it was pretty much like this one. It became my wet dream of a car. Yeah, more than many sports cars…

      @@pb5x5 that is true, although still quite pricey. I guess that Mercedes are keeping their prices in parallel to VW Caravelles, which are equally costly. Both have very good residuals, which mitigates against high initial costs a bit.

    I don't get why anyone would choose a 7 seat SUV over something like this, unless they really believe their 3rd-row passengers would rather be squished against the seats in front of them than be caught dead in a van.
