2020 Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo 300 d crystal white metallic - Exterior Interior Driving
The style and value appeal of the V-Class lead the way in the segment. The designers in Stuttgart have used a series of targeted measures to give the MPV a new look which follows the design idiom of the current Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
The new V-Class has a broader appearance and an even stronger visual presence thanks to its new front end.
This comes courtesy of a new bumper design with striking cooling air inlets and a new diamond structure in the radiator grille.
The Mercedes star is positioned centrally in the radiator grille and framed by two slats in silver.
The personalisation concept with the attractive AVANTGARDE and EXCLUSIVE lines and various design packages is retained, while the AMG Line becomes visually more striking with the facelift: it features a new diamond radiator grille with chrome pins, and thus delivers a particularly sporty note.
New paint colours in graphite grey metallic and selenite grey metallic expand the spectrum of popular black/white tones.
Equally new is the steel blue paint finish. With the new, optional colour hyacinth red metallic, the new V-Class also makes an especially emotive statement. At the same time, four new light-alloy wheel designs ensure a striking, avantgarde appearance. They include 5-twin-spoke 17-inch light-alloy wheels painted in black with a high-sheen finish as well as 18-inch light-alloy wheels in tremolite grey with a high-sheen finish and 5-twin-spoke design, or in black with a high-sheen finish and 5-spoke design. At the upper end of the new wheels portfolio are black-painted 19-inch 10-spoke light-alloy wheels with a high-sheen finish.
The interior of the new V-Class follows the trend of modernity and clarity.
The V-Class facelift presents itself with new air vents in a more sporty turbine look as well as new dials in the instrument cluster. Thanks to the reduced design, drivers can orientate themselves much more simply.
The new upholstery and equipment colour tartufo nappa leather makes a modern and elegant statement. With Lugano leather and nappa leather, each available in black and silk beige, plus Santos black fabric, a total of six different upholsteries in light and dark colours is available.
Modern and elegant can also be used to describe the new trim element in twin-stripe look which is used on the instrument panel and side paneling. The trim elements in the piano lacquer, ebony wood, carbon fibre and brushed aluminium looks remain.
As part of the facelift, rear passengers can enjoy a special comfort feature. Optionally available luxury seats for the first rear row pamper occupants with reclining and back massage functions as well as air conditioning, as in the S-Class. A journey in the new V-Class – for instance if used as a VIP shuttle - thus turns into a spa like treatment.
New engine, new transmission – powerful and efficient
With the facelift, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is equipped with the four-cylinder OM 654 diesel engine in three output variants:
V 220 d with 120 kW (163 hp) and 380 Nm of torque (combined fuel consumption 6.2-6.0 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 162-157 g/km)1
V 250 d with 140 kW (190 hp) and 440 Nm of torque (combined fuel consumption 6.1-5.9 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 161-155 g/km)1
And – as the new top performer in the segment – the V 300 d with 176 kW (239 hp) and 500 Nm of torque (combined fuel consumption 6.1-5.9 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 161-155 g/km)1
In the acceleration phase, the V 300 d can briefly deliver an additional 30 Nm of torque ("overtorque") in addition to its 500 Nm of torque. The V 300 d accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in up to 7.9 seconds. It can reach a top speed of 220 km/h.
