The new generation of Mercedes-Benz
Vito is a benchmark among vans. Its new drive system is extremely
efficient and delivers top performance. The optionally available
BlueEFFICIENCY technology offers the utmost in eco-friendly and
economical driving. The Vito is also a star in terms of its improved
payload and robust nature. Significantly reduced noise levels as well as
the new suspension and an upgraded cockpit make handling and controls
much simpler whilst also improving the vehicle's ergonomics. |

Drive system: extremely economical
and clean, optional BlueEFFICIENCY technology
Economic running thanks to low fuel
consumption, low emissions thanks to emissions level Euro 5 – the new
drive system in the Mercedes-Benz Vito demonstrates just what vans
fitted with the latest technology are capable of. CO2
emissions and fuel consumption have been reduced by up to 15 percent
compared with the previous models, giving record figures. |
In conjunction with the sophisticated
engineering of the current generation of four and six-cylinder
Mercedes-Benz engines, this is achieved through BlueEFFICIENCY
technology. This encompasses on-demand activation of major assemblies,
an ECO start/stop system and optimised low-resistance tyres.
BlueEFFICIENCY technology is available as an option on the Vito. The new
six-speed transmission, standard in combination with all four-cylinder
diesel engines, also helps reduce emissions and fuel consumption. Its
broad gear ratio spread allows excellent traction at low speeds, while
at higher speeds revs and thus fuel consumption are reduced. The engine
output of the Vito ranges to suit its spectrum of applications from
70 kW (95 hp) to 190 kW (258 hp).
Robust and resilient: payload
capacity increased, suspension renewed
The character of the
Mercedes-Benz Vito as a particularly robust and very functionally
designed van is underlined by the new, sturdy bumpers. The Vito's
practicality in rough, everyday situations is further emphasised by a
payload that has been increased, in some models quite significantly, and
by a completely retuned chassis and suspension system. Both front and
rear axles have been revised in every detail and specially tuned to
match each specific model. Different suspension configurations are used
for the high-payload panel van and the more comfort-oriented crewbus
variant.
Improved comfort; noise levels
considerably reduced
Not that comfort is by any means
forgotten in the Mercedes-Benz Vito. The interior of the new-generation
model offers simpler controls and a new colour concept. The quality feel
of the passenger compartment has been improved quite noticeably and, in
this context, noise levels could also be considerably reduced.
Visually, the new generation of
Mercedes-Benz Vito can be identified by its new-style headlamps. The
bumpers have also been modified.
