Van-tastic! 2023 Mercedes V-Class Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Mercedes V-Class might look like a van in a posh outfit, but it's become a popular choice for chauffeuring A-listers and VIPs for good reason: it's roomy, luxuriously trimmed, and very discreet.
The 2023 V-Class is available with two engines and in two body lengths. The standard body is 5.14m long, while the extra long body measures 5.37m. The engines are both two twin-turbocharged, four-cylinder diesels, and both paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox. The entry-level V220 d produces 163bhp, while the flagship V300 d has 237bhp. There's also a fully electric EQV with a range of around 200 miles from a charge - although bear in mind that's less than half what you'll manage in the diesel.
In this CarGurus UK review, Rebecca Jackson tests the extra long V300 d to see what the V-Class has to offer, be it for families, celebrities or VIPs. Practicality is explored across the V-Class's three twos and eight full-size seats, plus Rebecca weighs up the driving position and infotainment, and of course takes the big Mercedes for a drive to see how it behaves on the road.
Would you consider a V-Class over a big SUV?

I'm not a van person but would love something like this
In the market for one of these at the moment, as I’m starting a chauffeur business. Very timely thank you!
I covered the DTM for Red Bull Spain from late 2014 to 2019. The media shuttles for Audi, BMW and Mercedes were manufacturer-related (for Audi, they started being VW transporters T6). I usually wanted to get the Mercedes, because I could ride shotgun and it was pretty much like this one. It became my wet dream of a car. Yeah, more than many sports cars…
A great quick review Rebecca. For wannabe VIP's or VIP's that want to travel slightly incognito this car/van works. On British roads it makes a lot more sense than a stretch limo. If it was my money I'd go for this over the Defender as I don't need the crazy off road performance.
One of the best Large Family MPVs on sale 😊
Why does no one ever mention the built in Towing bar in the tool compartment and electric hookup?
Aloha from Hawaii! Always love your videos Rebecca! I'm looking to get the new BMW i4 E40. Can you please do a video review on that vehicle soon? Much Mahalo
Springsteen on tour use & love these
V Class Mercs always been a good bet. Easy going and adaptable
Love it
Good little video but making too much of the cost “just being a van”. All modern vans are ace but even basic ones are expensive.

Just buy a Vito normal minibus instead as they are cheaper.

@@pb5x5 that is true, although still quite pricey. I guess that Mercedes are keeping their prices in parallel to VW Caravelles, which are equally costly. Both have very good residuals, which mitigates against high initial costs a bit.

This girl really is an absolute stunner in every sense of the word! Really nice car too 😎🔥♥️
Luv the review Rebecca, in a few weeks or months Mercedes will release the facelift of the V klasse. New front and fully updated dashboard.
can’t be added ventilated seats?
Why is average Mpg lower than pre facelift model which if 44mpg combined on 2.2 engine with a 7 speed gearbox... Newer engine should be better... im confused😮
I want one 😂😂😂
75 k bet it will still rust like all merc vans ! Lol .. still it’s practical … nice review
Can you please translate and edit somewhere on screen fuel consumption in L/100 km for european subscribers since that is only thing we don't understand.
Oh, the dashboard is still way better than a Peugeot’s, for instance… even with the “age” it has…
Ideal vehicle for golfers
Lots of VIPs get dropped off at posh Johannesburg 🇿🇦schools in this van

Looks good for picking up street walkers.
Fency frigde on wheels!
This car was 50k pre covid
Why is the 2023 V Class on a 21 plate
Why AMG Line? What about if you find ‘sporty’ pointless? What about comfort? And no diesel, thanks…
It's a van!
I don't get why anyone would choose a 7 seat SUV over something like this, unless they really believe their 3rd-row passengers would rather be squished against the seats in front of them than be caught dead in a van.
👍
👍🏻
Try searching toyota alpahrd or toyota vellfire. This two toyota's beats v class by far
Driving the front wheels I thought its RWD🤔
75 grand really, no wonder you never see them on the road
Impossible to believe that Harry passed on this superior woman to marry a diva from our lunatic state....🙄🤮 i'd even move across the pond if i had been given the chance to have twins with her....🤗 meanwhile, another great review.😇👍
Looks like Rebecca might be looking for a 3 child compatible car (if yes then congrats)? Or do I need new glasses.

No you don't I was wondering the same
Poor boot space for luggage

Yep, still a van and being a diesel kind of kills the deal really!
