This £70K Mercedes Marco Polo is the ultimate luxury camper van! REVIEW

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2020
- The Mercedes Marco Polo is a luxury camper van. It's based on the V-Class but has been kitted out with two beds and a kitchen. It's an alternative to a Volkswagen California a camper I have tested before with carwow. In this video I will show you all round the £67,000 Marco Polo and demonstrate all of its features. I'll also spend a night in it on my mother's driveway! And at the end I will let you know which I think is the best between the Mercedes Macro Polo and the VW California.

Plot twist - the person who was sleeping upstairs was actually Doug Demuro
Lmao
I bet he talks in his sleep "THIS is a Mercedes Marco Polo 2020"
Qorques and future
@@comment6463 Lol he must say: THIS IS THE VAN OF 2020
LMAO
FYI for those getting confused. He said Walsall not Warsaw 🤣
🙋🏾♀️
Oh I thought he meant Warsaw.
I was like "that's a good price"
I thought the same but in the same time you won't get a 2 bedroom flat in Warsaw for that kind of money 🧐😁
I'd take the van 🤣
Locals say Worsul.
8:38 that bed must be terrible, Mat's aged 20 years!

Abid Siddiq well to me that’s fine.

Mat in every video: making everything look hard and tough.
Mr tumblr
He also completely forgot to say that it's not built by Mercedes, they just make the van. Westfalia to the coach build! Daft, it even has their name on the back.
„Hey, I got an AMG 😏“
„Cool, which model?“
„Uhmm...a Marco Polo 👀“
Who else thought the night vision part resembled that of Bear Grylls from Man vs wild lmao???
Yeah "I think i hear something maybe its lion in my camp, I need go to outside"

Mat forgot to do 0-60 using his specialist timing gear😜
Maybe he‘s only allowed to do that on carwow because they own his specialist timing gear? 🤔
😂😂😂
That's car wow thingy.... 😂
I don't think we can wait that long to get a 0-60 time😂
Hello again
That windshield cover seems like an afterthought. Like they were having a meeting about the car being ready to roll out and then someone remembered oh shit we don't have any front window curtains. Then one guy was like hey lets use this rag. You can hang it like this! Brilliant!
fake taxi be like: lets buy this thing
-Who is this homeless guy camping in your front yard and talking to a camera?

Yeah right
*8:43** BEAR GRYLLS vibes* 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Matt watched hundreds of your reviews over the years and doing this with campers is great. It seems the way people are moving more of this please.
I drive a V250 now and again at work. They are fabulous motors and even with 7 pax, luggage and golf bags, you wouldn't notice a lack of performance like you would in some of its competitors. They fly along!
8:36 I got scared [conjuring]
I got exhausted watching matt assembling the table and chair
who here agrees this was one of the most enjoyable van reviews they've seen.. not that most of us has ever seen a full van review :D
Awesome to see you, doing your own TH-cam channel. Keep it going I love your car reviews and content!!
Mat: "This is a luxurious motorhome"
Americans: *burst with laughter*
Trunks Briefs there motorhomes are literally the same size as a half a million pound London townhouse.
Also Americans: *burst from getting shot with an AR-15, catches COVID, goes bankrupt from paying the hospital bills, pulled over by a cop only to be shot 10 times in the head*

17:56 When my alarm goes off in the morning.
Mat we have got a 2006 mercedes benz viano marco polo too and we still love it i think this is the best car in the world and we travelled with it to a lot of countries and it hasnt got any problem after 14 years.🙂 and i think the best feature is the hand washer beacuse after eating in the car on the table we can wash our hand after eating.
I am very happy because of this video you made, and i love your videos, greeting from hungary.
This was probably the most honest review of a car ever
So much fun watching Mat struggle with camping things, because I know I would too if I had to 😂
Also, good thing your mom didn’t scream at you from the balcony to tell you to stop filming 😂
I wonder how the battery will last with devices on charge and lights on at night?
The VW has great integrated blinds in the A pillar
love your honest review's Matt.
nothing manual in here
has to move the captains chairs manually
Nothing Manual here
Literally 10 seconds after manually moving thr seats
I own this car and I can only recommend it. I also had the two generations preceding it.
The back-window can actually be opened from the inside with the key and the table isnt as complex as Mat had to experience it. He also didnt do it right but it was his first time so its ok. I also think its a shame that they replaced the curtains with these weird black things but I like them now because they dont tend to brake like the old curtains. And you dont need that weird sheet in the front. I never used it. The Marco Polo is the best car in the world and I would never change it with anything else but a new Marco Polo :)
PS: sorry for the brits who cant use the power outlet but if you had stayed in the EU this wouldnt have happend. ;) And sorry for my bad english.
Oh man... Send me 10,000 dollars for my woes..
Noah, Where's the hob? Missed it - I just rewatched 👍
No regarding the plug. The UK would have kept their own plug
Leaving the EU has created far more problems for us Brits than a non standard mains socket which can easily be changed, to a UK socket by the way.
For a start we are no longer take our bacon sandwiches with us when we visit Europe and and we are limited on the amount of booze we can bring back.
Worse still because our EU Citizenship was taken away from us, we are can’t stay longer than 90 days.
@@Deepthought-42 Booze and holidays or Democratically responsible for the laws & direction of our own country. Superficiality or something more deeper and profound? Easy choice.
When will we get an update on the jimny
Love you mat respect to you for visiting your mom even after all these compromises 🤍
The only one in my opinion that bridges comedy and serious journalism perfectly . Legend Matt!
Honestly the most HONEST, ONE OF THE MOST FAVORITE AND FUNNIEST REVIEWS 😂🙌 OF MAT
Great video Mat it is clear that the people who designed the interior blind arrangements are not Motor Caravaners or they did not spend one night in it!
So basically if your electric seats stop working in the middle of winter while camping, you'll have to sleep upstairs in the cold. Great job Mercedes.
I have never seen this channel before, Then I saw Mats face, then I clicked subscribe 😄 we want you to succeed Mat!!! Great tv personality
Mat, to bypass the Rev limiters, put the cars into neutral and you can rev them up all the way!
ooo Mat Watson is on trending. You're going up in the TH-cam world!
Your must be the busiest youtuber out there, really great content & variety of tests/reviews & not to forget the drag races
Cant wait to see you return you have the best personality
Nice honest review. I am on my third California at the moment. VW is front wheel drive, Marco Polo is rear wheel drive - or so I am told. California has a wind out awning as standard. The DSG gear box is excellent I wouldn't swap.
And VW would be better for a bit of off-road !
The kettle is a 10k option
Many Marco Polo owners ditch the dangling storage bag to get more storage space in the rear.
Other items that get “thrown” out are the captains chairs in favour of camping chairs that are more easily stored and the cab curtain which gets replaced by an insulated interior or exterior screen cover.
The antiquated camper control panel has been integrated into MBUX which replaces the Command satnav shown on the latest model.
Good stuff mat as always bro
It was SO LONG AGO THAT U UPLOADED A VID ON THIS CHANNEL!!
Mat is the best!!🤩🤩
More campervan review please! nice job Mat!
@Mat, Hey you must have an old version of the Marco polo because the newer version from 2020 April forward (production) has MBUX with MBAC which let's you control stuff from your phone and makes the experience of opening closing things (e.g. Sleeping area) much more comfortable
Im wondering why you dont test the new Marco Polo with MBUX? It got many improvements, especially with the Entertainment System.
I love it when people who do not camp review campers :) Totally smitten by the bling and no idea of the practicality. I've had both and driven thousands of miles in a Cali. The MP is a very fine vehicle indeed, if I had a choice, practicality of the VW wins every time.
You go Matt! Become the biggest Camper review channel on youtube!
Trending !!?? Wow Mat, haven't seen that before. Keep up!
Matt, you had a knob or something, in the middle of the table, to block the legs:))
At night he sounds so much like Benedict Cumberbatch 😂😂😂

Watching this video makes me want to do a road trip in one of these, ultimate luxury 😍
Great review, as expected but would really like to see a review of another camper van, not the VW, too many of them already but one of the Ford Campervans, Wellhouse seem good and it would be really interesting to see Matt do his review.
8:37 bear Grylls lite.
Teddy Grylls 🤣
What about your polski fiat ? Are you still daily-ing it ?
Great vid.. I was thinking about buying one.. Now not too sure.. Now looking at the Fiat Expedition 4x4.. Thank you for an informative video.
I've had a couple of these Merc vans as rentals on business trips in Europe...such nice cars!
Nothing's mores stupid than AMG package for a camper van.
Богдан Кондратов they do... I have one, V300 AMG
People will pay for it though 😂
the only stupid thing would be no amg package, becaise people buy it.
NightCoder well it depends on what’s you get in that package doesn’t it?
@@Jabber-ig3iw Larger rims, for starters, to add vibration on the road.
I swear when matt said I think this is a table I just knew it was going to fall apart
One of the best reviews 😂👍
Mat unfolding that table is the best thing I have seen in a while.
My girlfriend is sleeping upstairs. I reckon it was a blow up😂😂😂
Another great video Sir.
You got 270k subscribers waiting for more videos. There are only so many races you can watch on cw. Do some reviews of normal road going cars like the new BMW G30 LCI 😎
Hi Mat, are the chairs that convert into a bed the same chairs as available in a normal vclass ? I'm asking this because I am not interested in the camper but in a vclass where I can occasionally take a nap when doing long drives.
Good video sir, more of this please!
Mat likes it downstairs because he’s a BAD BOY
I gotta say Matts really doing a great job for putting WALSALL on the map 🗺💯😍😂👌🏽 #Walsall
Hi Mat, I enjoyed the review. I am not a camper or a camper-vanner and I wandered onto this review because I was thinking about golf trips. I don't really see how golf gear could be accommodated. Any suggestions for golfers and camper vans?
One advantage to the older infotainment system - standard USB ports instead of USB-C, which some people might prefer.
love the name tho

The back of the V-class / Marco Polo looks really good for a van
I'm always mat watson fan ever waiting for the next video
The fact that he touched the dirt and then everything in the car makes me feel very uncomfortable
Well, to be fair most of the western world wear their shoes inside home so..... Mweh... 🥴
@@troll2637 No idea why people do that, its stupid
@@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey but you do that too. Doesn't your shoes come with your suit? But the new suit that iron man gave you have nano technology so.... 😄
Stay in school spider man.
WDSCS it’s very weird,I moved here to America and I see it all the time,at least most of my neighbors don’t wear shoes in their house.
@EliT lol
It’s my day off why am I watching your videos Mat
nice sam
dod u change your dp?
Are you the girl who counts down from 3 in the drag races?
@@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey I'm fairly sure Sam is their producer lol
archechme I am both 🙂
Mr Watson you did a good job reviewing this not like the last video you did on another van, many because it's a merc
Couldn’t be bothered with half the stuff on there. Daft curtains, window coverings, table & chair, uncomfortable lower bed and the whole laptop plug situation. Thanks for such an honest review!
17:14 Lol😂😂😂😂😂
Phew after a long time
Lovely video Mat!!
And if anyone looking to buy a camper Van..then just get a motor home👍
Congrats on 300k!
The Marco Polo may be luxurious, but compared to the VW California it's far away from being "ultimate". I've been driving the California for a couple of years now and wanted to switch to the Marco Polo because of the sake of change. But from a camper's perspektive the Marco Polo feels like a first try on camping by Mercedes. E.g. no possibility for blacking out the sun 100%, only one arm rest per seat, press-studs (!) for toggling the popp-up roof and poor build quality of the camping interior. I was quite shocked seeing knobs fall apart and doors that won't close after a few thousand kilometers. And what is almost hilarious is that the two camping chairs and the camping table use up the whole trunk! This must have been some last minute project like "damn, we forgot to include the chairs an the table, what should we do?! I have an idea, let's use a heavy steel frame and some fabric and make it the size of the trunk!" It realy must have been that way...
I was quite dissapointed. Sadly someone must had higher priority for the look than for functionality. It seems that showing of is more important than acutal camping.
I have no interest in camping either buy enjoyed the review :)
I honestly LOL'ed really hard at 1:51
The face, the hum and the pretentious look all before saying "expensive sounding" 😂😂😂
So funny seeing Mat struggling with the picnic table and the chairs 😂😂
"That's a really simple, quick solution. It's really quick and if it breaks; it won't cost much to fix".
*Laughs in Mercedes*
Imagine waking up and seeing 17:05. Terrifying!
I'd DEFINITELY buy THIS tan for the California Ocean!
In Germany you can get the V-Class with the big infotament display like the one in the C-Class Facelift. But you have to pay extra for it. However the dials aren't avaible as digital ones unlike the C-Class or Glc etc.
"...which isn’t ideal if you're into privacy... but is kinda cool if you're into dogging!"
😭😂
I cant imagine the type of person that can afford this, would want one this small
That's what I was wondering. Just get a RV at that point
Found that really amusing watching Mat put up the table, chairs and blinds. Those blinds were shocking for such an expensive car. Can't wait for a more Star Trek future where we can tap a button and all windows will go opaque.
I appreciate what you do
How does Mat make simple things look difficult?
Mat: MARCO!
Merc: POLO!
Volkswagen: Wait, what?
Volkswagen: excuiiise mee ??????!!!
Carado vlow : hello???
I sleep in my polo vivo and I manage alright... this looks like heaven.
I literally just watched the video where he slagged the VW California T6 as being expensive, yet likes this, would be interesting to do a review on this and the new California T6.1 together and compare prices deals and optional extras
