@@itumelengmahaole5890 it's a great family car and when you need it, it can easily transform into a rolling office. [It's just flipping the middle row of chairs) I am happy with my car.

In korea. Hyundai sells H-1 Hyundai Grand Starex. And in korea. It has Urban 9-seater And 11-seater wagon. And it has special vehecle. High-roof Luxury 6-seater. 20'Rear AV. 6-seat cooling/heating 6-VIP seat
What a stupid comparison. The V Class is not aimed at the “family” it’s a top end Chauffeur vehicle which the H1 certainly is not. They should have compared the Vito to the H1 as they are in the same market and priced the same.
I'm quite the Hyundai Supporter... Welp cause you compared a normal H1 to a Luxury Van.. You should have got The H1 VIP version... You'll get me😊. The H1 VIP has VIP seats,Electric Sliding Doors,8" Multimedia,and Multiple Features more😊😍😎.
Yes. In my region is H1 royale. Have diffrent suspension from normal H1 electric pilot seat electric sliding door. But for comfort still independent rear suspension better than solid axle. Like merc. Vclass T.alphard/vellfire. 😁😁 But H1 royale crdi cost less than half from 3 van above. But H1 crdi 168hp better acceleration than T. Alphard/vellfire 2.4L gasoline, 180hp
H1 is forthe average family guy, agreed. V-class is sleaker than your average. You choose where you belong. Period. Thanx for the review guys. Great stuff.
I agree, for an average working class guy like me I would go for reliability over status, Merc is for rich people who can change a car every 5 years because they are not very reliable
I have a V250 AMG, silk beige interior so very light and seats in conference setting ( facing each other) so no issues with entry or exit. Also this was an unfair test as each vehicle caters for a different type of customer. Vito shuttle would have been the direct comparison for the H1. The V class has no rival.
@@l1nds290, yes but V is at least 4 times more expensive than the H1 and maintenance costs in time are huge. And yes, it's true, the V one it's an amazing car :)
Its realy good my family bought one 2017 and everything there is great I like the middle seats more ,and there is a sport Mode and when you accelerate it pushen you in the seats
What a silly comparison these are 2 different type of passenger carrier one with massive options and massive luggage compartment which usually use for 7 V I P passengers with all their luggage with forward facing and confrance facing rear seats option and also much better drive and performance and also better safety. v and vito ,vivaro ,trafic ,ford custom and transporter are class as minibus but H1 is just to transfer 7 passenger with Limited luggage space its kind of same class as galaxy. Dark leather and dark window are optional if you don't like it don't add it ,by the way this type of cars called executive cars .
@@corneilcorneil its actually good for family i traveled in it for 7h straight and i didn't even feel tired i mean the s class is comfier but v class is the best in this class
@@thesimpleonel2391, try the Hyundai H1 or a Alphart. I drive Benz since the 80's.

As someone who drives Mercedes I know I have to change my car every 5 years otherwise it's an endless money pit, so how is Hyundai in terms of long term reliability?

What a nice review guys and yes the koreans wins on this one ,but i dont know about the warranty on both cars , that'shelps us as consumers to make a good choice ,anyway thats guys
i think the Hyundai has a standard 5 year/ 160 000km warranty and i know for a fact that the Merc is 6 year 100 000km warranty. bang for buck the Hyundai is great for what it is and super strong engine wise.
This channel. Lol. Why does it appear in my feed every now and then. It's so bad. These 2 aren't even comparable. People looking at a V Class won't even consider an H1. The H1 is ugly and pure utility only. The V Class is a completely different offering. Useless review and comparison as always.
@@SDav21 We are only too well aware that there are better vehicles to stack the H1 up against, which would of course include the Vito. This is why this was not a direct comparison review and we went to great lengths in the review to make that clear - 2 people movers appealing to opposite ends of the market! What was interesting for us was looking at just how big a tangible difference there was between the two, if at all, when considering the price difference. Sometimes its good to actually listen to what is said and the context its presented in...
A better comparison would be the Vw Caravelle and the V class
Awesome review! Best one that I found! Concise, fun, informative - well done.
I would still take the V-class.
No doubt!
I did :)

I own an H1, trust me ..I would never trade it for anything other. H1 has power, strength and has the speed I prefer.
Vito Tourer 119 Bluetech would be a better comparison to the H1

Very helpful review. Spend 20 k on reupholster of seats and you have an equal but more reliable.
H1 you can adjust for more space on leg room
What a stupid comparison. The V Class is not aimed at the “family” it’s a top end Chauffeur vehicle which the H1 certainly is not. They should have compared the Vito to the H1 as they are in the same market and priced the same.
What about rear storage, no mention of that? Also would have loved to know how they handle a full load in terms of power.
I know that H1 has plenty of space I drive one for taxify people load and many as 4/6 boxes, cooler box or even language
Mercedes Benz 👍, I would use it for VIP transportation.
Is this South Africa?

yes.. these are competitors.
@@capitan_camote_picante6370 no they aren’t, Mercedes’ are a prestige brand… ones you noted aren’t.

Hyundai H1 team where you at
Wish they compared the H1 with VW Kombi.
Stay in your lane girls, V-class is in another league.
The AMG look is an 3k € option on the V class..
You can't compare these two vehicles. They are not similar and not the same either.
ANCAP rating? Hyundai doesn’t have 5 star safety yet does it?
2021 Mitsubishi express got 0 star in ANCAP history! lol Japanese built quality!
What about safety? ISn't it important when taking so many people with you?
If they have life insurance then no.... safety does not need to be important.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior lol
Every Mercedes has problems with corrosion, what about v class ?
Knowing how Mercedes cars fail in Long Term reliability, my question would be how reliable is V Class?
Its realy good my family bought one 2017 and everything there is great I like the middle seats more ,and there is a sport Mode and when you accelerate it pushen you in the seats

Geez these ladies are... Uhm gifted
Oh ja the H-1 is great too
Can I ask is ford ranger fx4 gonna come to south Africa?
rest value i would maybe also take in consideration
Manual petrol wrong fuel it's Manual or automatic desiel
I own the H1 and there is no way back on this 1. Buy a diesel automatic you will get to the destination 1hr early
And less tired than in a other car. I had different Benz, and the H1 is perfect. Don't forget that the V class is just a crap car. No Benz logo worth.

At the end you need to look at the cost of mechanical and insurance not the looks

The h1 is well priced
At the end of the day, the H1 makes sense if you are going to purchase it with your own money
you can only buy the H1 if you dont afford the V,
There is the caravelle
What a nice review guys and yes the koreans wins on this one ,but i dont know about the warranty on both cars , that'shelps us as consumers to make a good choice ,anyway thats guys

@@YusufPetersenCPT thank you
They still make a H1??? Havent seen them after 2013 anymore.
Yup
Look at the 2021 h1 grand starex vip
It is LUXURY
You cannot compare these two
More room in the back of the merc yes, but load space?.....
The seats are movable back and forth.
There is a ton of space on the trunk of the v class
For me the H1 has more cargo space
Quite a mismatch there lads
not a very helpful review for both vehicles which are not in the same class, except for the name "people carrier".
You are absolutely correct. These two vehicles are definitely not in the same class as the H1 is waaaaayyy superior to the v-class.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior 👀
I think H1 is the best
Btw h1 2014 model has 9 seats
Hyundai gives 7 years warranty!
I would rather take v class because h1 it's like it has no windows
Mercedes vs H1 luxury 6 seats??
should compare vito with the h1, not v-class which is a diff offering...
V is awesome!
What! More like a car? Shouldn't it feel like a truck to drive to be good?
Not fair v class vs hyundai..bcoz v class more exclusive n comfort
V-class all the way
Mercedes💪💪👍
H1
Better off with the H1
I’ll have to say the Hyundai it’s anaxing

Hey stay in your limit 😠😠✋✋✋

Most probably they are pushing the new bus
I will take the v class no other way u never give me I say I finish up now only money that I want 😂😂😂
I lIKED HYUNDAI H1

Great review. Great women 😃. Im visiting SA in 2019

St. Peter Memorial Homes is waving at you 😂
H1,Imax,Starex WTH IT HAS 3 NAMES (maybe im wrong)
It has 1 name and is H1 but it has tiers starex is the 2nd best and vip grand starex is the daddy of em all
dammmm nice airbags hihihi
Mercedes looks better
Incomparable avec Mercedes Benz v classe
스타렉스는 화물차
