Mercedes-Benz have reworked the
V-Class into a trendy, new model – named the V250. Formerly known as the Viano,
the seven-seater has now been brought up to date. Big Motoring World reviews
the latest update.
Technology
The new V-Class maintains the
traditions and expectations of the usual V-Class, but this one contains the
very latest Mercedes materials, technology and infotainment. The exterior
styling has also been updated to integrate the firm's two-blade grille and three-pointed
star.
Efficiency
Although the 2.1-litre diesel
engine in the V250 has been carried over from the previous model, it has been
revised for this year. It emits 166g/km of Co2 and manages 44.8mpg combined,
which is better than all of its rivals.
Interior
Mercedes take a huge emphasis on
comfort, style and luxury. The interior of the V250 is no different, with
slick, full leather and the latest infotainment dash board included as
standard. The visibility is top-of-the-range, with a high seating position
offering very good forward visibility. Parking sensors and rear-view camera
make light work of tight parking situations and make the whole car feel easy to
drive.
Performance and handling
The V-Class's four-cylinder
diesel is impressively refined, staying both quiet and largely vibration-free
when pushed. That said, it rarely needs to be stretched, such is its low-down
pull. It manages to get to 62mph from a standing start in just over 9 seconds.
Handling and drive
The steering is consistently
weighted and precise, making you feel as though you’re gliding on the road. The
seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox works well too, slipping between
gears without fuss and rarely getting over-excited and dropping too many gears
when a short burst of acceleration is required.
