Mercedes-Benz Vito

And the long wheel base. Making this an excellent versatile and more stunning option to the ever more popular Volkswagen t5

The Mercedes Vito is surprisingly reasonable option to the VW with the Mercedes have I little less of a following due to the belief of the extra purchase price and maintenance cost, these vans are not only an impressive touch of luxury these vans make a very eye catching conversion option.

All diesels are modern and economical, with auto options.

The Vito probably has more safety features as standard than any van of its type, with airbag, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control. It is a great panel van that seems to cope with anything an owner could ask of it.

Although the driving position is elevated compared with a car, it is still rather car-like to sit in. Instruments are clear and easy to read, while switches and controls have a high quality feel to them. Visibility is good, helped by the large door mirrors.

Road test

The Vito has excellent road manners, and the 109bhp and 150bhp diesel engines pack a serious punch. But even the 88bhp version of the diesel engine is fine for light-load work. Engines are refined, and the Vito is easy to drive, with good feel from the steering and a comfortable ride under part-load. There is also a low-volume V6 petrol version which uses an ex-Mercedes-Benz S-Class car engine.

The 3.7-litre engine produces 231bhp and turns the Vito into a high-performance machine. An even more appealing option became available in 2006 in the form of the 204bhp V6 turbo diesel 120CDI, which gives high performance along with good fuel economy. Automatic transmission is standard on the V6s and optional on the 109bhp and 150bhp diesel.

Reliability

Any well-maintained Vito should be capable of high mileage and a long life. No major problems are expected.
