Tough work van levels up: 2025 Mercedes-Benz Vito, eVito vans and V-Class people mover get big refresh with electric variants to tackle E-Transit Custom and LDV eDeliver

Mercedes-Benz has refreshed its range of mid-size vans and people movers for 2025, adding a host of design, comfort, technology and safety upgrades.

Every edition across the Vito and V-Class ranges will benefit from the added upgrades, from the brand-new entry-level Vito 114 van, all the way up through the four grade V-Class range.

Starting with the Vito range, each variant will come standard with a 10.25-inch multimedia screen that is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 5.5-inch driver’s display screen.

All models will benefit from a multifunction steering wheel with touch sensitive controls, a keyless start function allowing the driver to start the vehicle with the key fob in their pocket via a stop/start button, and an electronic parking brake.

The expansive Vito range will offer the choice of medium (MWB) and long-wheel base (LWB) panel vans and crew cabs at different specification levels.

The entry-level Vito 114 MWB kicks off the Vito range, packing all of the previously mentioned additions as well as front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, cruise control/speed limiter, digital radio, driver’s comfort seat with lumbar support, rear tinted glass and 2500 kg braked towing capacity.

The mid-spec Vito 116 MWB/LWB Van or Crew Cab adds new extra features that include multi-beam LED headlights with high beam assist, satellite navigation with route-based speed adaptation, a 360-degree camera, a leather steering wheel, comfort front seats with lumbar support and cushion length adjustment, chrome interior appointments, illuminated vanity mirrors and ambient lighting at the tailgate. The Vito 116 Crew Cab variants get a rear bench seat and wood flooring.

The Vito 119 LWB Van and Crew Cab share a near-identical equipment specification to the 116 variants, swapping 17-inch steel wheels for 17-inch alloys, and adding black roof rails, a rear LED light strip in the cargo area (Van only), and an auto-dimming interior mirror. Crew Cab variants get plastic flooring, upgraded interior panelling, a load-securing rail system, rear grab handles and a 12-volt plug socket in the load compartment. The Vito 119 models also come with complimentary non-metallic and metallic paint.

The all-electric eVito LWB Van adds pre-entry climate control for the first time, allowing the driver to remotely set the cabin temperature before entering the vehicle.

The Vito Tourer and eVito Tourer Pack reconfigure the seating arrangement, making eight seats available across three rows in a 2:3:3 arrangement, though seats can be rearranged to utilise more cargo space.

A significant safety boost grants all models active lane keep assist, traffic sign assist and tyre pressure monitoring for the first time as standard.

A 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission come standard across the range, while the eVito/eVito Tourer are powered by a single-electric motor.

Each variant comes standard with a number of features that are new for 2025, such as dual 12.3-inch infotainment and digital driver’s displays, keyless start, a heated, multi-functional steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls, wireless charging, 64-colour ambient lighting, multi-beam LED lights, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, metallic paint and a premium Burmester sound system.

In addition to the aforementioned features, the entry-level V250 Avantgarde variant adds electric sliding doors and tailgate, agility control suspension, front and rear parking sensors, a 360 degree camera, satellite navigation, electric front seats with memory function and heating, Lugano leather trim, sports pedals and 19-inch alloy wheels.

The electric EQV300 model shares much of the same features as the V250, but with 18-inch alloy wheels and a distinctive LED light band surrounding the front grille.

The V300 AMG adds a range of sporty design cues, including a panoramic sunroof and digital rearview mirror, AMG night package styling, sports suspension, side skirts, an AMG rear bumper and spoiler lip, black 19-inch alloy AMG wheels, black roof rails, a black roof liner, AMG floor mats and a chrome-look loading sill protector at the tailgate.

Rounding out the range is the top-spec V300 Exclusive model which uses a seven-seat configuration instead of the eight seat configuration that is standard across the range, while adding rear tray tables with illuminated trim, an exclusive five-louvre grille surrounded by chrome-look trim, an LED light band and a Mercedes-Benz standing star on the bonnet. The front two seats are ventilated, while all are cladded in Nappa leather.

As an optional upgrade, seats in the V300 Exclusive model receive added reclining and back massaging functions, as well as air conditioning, foot steps and a folding tray table. The seats also come with individual armrests that house a cup holder, a USB-C charging port and a tray for smartphones.

Safety features such as active park assist, active brake assist, blind spot assist, rear cross traffic assist and pre-safe accident preparation system come standard across the range.

All V-Class models are distinguished by an external facelift, including a variant-specific front grille, front fascia designs and a redesigned tailgate featuring new Mercedes-Benz graphics.

Each variant is powered by the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine as the Vito, with power carried through the same nine-speed automatic transmission.

V-Class variants are only available in a medium-wheel base set-up.
