The fascination of the V-Class design

Back in 2014, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class had its first premiere in the global market as a perfect family vehicle. Prior to its Indian entry in several next months, let’s check out the fascinating design of the V-class, what makes the car the most-awaited noteworthy vehicle in the country.

Has been developed on the basement of the company’s latest design language, the all-new V-Class redefines the definitions of luxury and elegance. The larger the car, the less attractive? The V-Class will prove the opposite.

The MPV is more attractive with an elegant but robust cosmetic beauty. The front fascia has been strengthened with powerful and expressive tapered hood and refreshed headlights while the rear displays the vista of the harmonious rising lines and sporty-looking radiator grille.

The stylish design inside the MPV is another pinnacle. The high-end MPV features the high-quality recessed cockpit with the extensive wavy shape. The centrepiece has been skillfully and meticulously designed with best-in-class materials to display the highest sense of opulence. The class-leading materials and wrapped-around Nappa leathers give the sense of touch to the incomparable cosiness.

The on-top-like driving experience

Modern elements are also of the carmaker’s greatest concern. The German luxury automotive company opens up the car with two seating configurations- the 7-seaters of the commercial range and the 6-seaters for personal use. Drivers and passengers can enjoy the awesome driving pleasure through a plethora of forefront technological features and various driver’s aids. It is aware by the carmaker that the modern buyers are demanding higher than simply dynamic handling and comfort. The innovative digital vehicles with smartphone connection and entertaining packages are more and more favourable.

• Mercedes-Benz me connect connects the drivers with the vehicle anytime and anywhere

• Multimedia system with central media display and Command Online

'Powerful' and 'Dynamic' continues to be the keyword

As always, we never get disappointed with the Mercedes model’s powertrain system. In the international market, the V-class comes featured with 3 stunning 4-cylinder engine options which are categorized into high-torque, fuel efficiency and low noise segments. The 135 hp and 163 hp variant are packed with a powerful 6-speed manual transmission while the 190 hp comes along with a 4MATIC AWD system aligned with a 7G-tronic+ automatic transmission. The drivers’ aids like cruise control, kick-down switch, Start assist, immobilizer, dynamic select mode, etc enhance the better robust performance of the V-Class.

Its performance will far exceed any expectations for a family vehicle

The Indian-spec model is likely to be the 250d which will source the power output from a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine that churns out 190 hp and 440 Nm of torque.

Besides, the diesel particulate filter, an AdBlue tank and a selective catalytic reduction make the V-Class engine meet the BS-VI emission standards which are going to come into effect by April 2020.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class-A safety star

Right after its global launch, the Mercedes-Benz MPV has achieved maximum points from the Euro NCAP Safety Test in 2014, marking the ground-breaking vehicle of its segment. The list of safety features in the V-Class seems to be so long and so here’re the most outstanding V-Class’s safety fitments:

• Dual airbags

• Attention Assist, Crosswind Assist and Headlight Assist

• Tire pressure monitoring

• Distronic plus distance-keeping cruise control

• Intelligent Lighting System

• Lane-Keeping Assistant

• 360-degree camera view

Besides, the forthcoming MPV is also available with the mechanisms in which the engine might be automatically shut down, the door is unlocked and the crash-active emergency lighting and hazard lights are activated with an aim to avoid any further damages in case of serious accidents.

The car is truly one of the safest vehicles in the Indian auto space

Personal Verdict

For any Mercedes’s enthusiasts who desire for a flawless family vehicle, the upcoming V-Class may top on the options list. As a matter of fact, the Indian customers are currently having not many choices of family car available rather than the Toyota Innova as of MPV class or big SUVs. The V-Class is anticipated to be a sleeper hit in the country since this segment has been ignored by other luxury manufacturers. The Indian-spec model is likely to position at around Rs 75-80 Lakh (ex-showroom).
