There is still a lot to like about the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. With its new drivetrain, it offers class-leading performance, combined with good efficiency and impressive drivetrain refinement. Features such as climatised seats all-round, a panoramic sunroof, a Burmester audio setup and an updated MBUX infotainment system endow the big bus with enough “Mercedesness” to make it feel worth a premium.
