The Mercedes-Benz V-Class is heading towards the end of its current life cycle. That doesn't mean it is going to slowly fade away before a new model replaces it in 2024. In fact, now is the time when you get Special Edition versions, just like this V-Class with bespoke paint and an AMG wind-tunnel-designed roof box.
Do these tweaks make it the ultimate airport or luxury hotel shuttle? Is it even the best van right now? We tested the Special Edition to find out just what you get for a whopping R2m.

I think you guys should start doing the installment breakdown, insurance etc. when you get to the price. It really helps

@DjiCandi Год назад

That's a bad idea. Insurance is a "per person" type of thing. My premiums won't be the same as yours. The same can be said about vehicle finance, my credit score might be trash than yours, naturally interest rates will be different and besides...the videos will no longer be "bite sized" especially for RU-vid, although it's good for viewer retention, it's trash because human beings get bored too quickly. What you are asking is something you should be doing on your own anyway...laziness?

@hopewellnzuza Год назад

A superb vehicle in its segment no doubt you will stand out. Price wise its respectable but the downside to that is the vehicle interior is starting to look dated, there is nothing wrong with it but there is just something missing. Nice touch of Mercedes to include the roof box standard, bet its bundled in the R2M price, but a nice touch although it looked a bit plastic when opening it or is it just me that was expecting it to open electrically 😄

@ThaboMashiloane Год назад

Would rather go for the Kia Carnival. I know the Merc will be better but I doubt the margin is as wide as the price from the Carnival.

@henrysithole3623 Год назад

I love the Merc, but that price is unreasonable. So I'm like you, Kia Carnival for the win. Beautiful MPV that one, slightly looks like an SUV, doesn't give too much bus vibes. To think that the Merc the VW weren't far off not so long ago, now almost a million apart. Spec for spec that is. Tenderpreneurs made this car too expensive.

@SiyaMajikela 23 дня назад

Kia over merc ? Domkop😭.

@ThaboMashiloane 23 дня назад

@@SiyaMajikela Like I said in my comment, the Merc may be better but it is not R300k better. Anyway, what tells me you are a far worse domkop than me is that you couldn't make a point without resorting to insults. If you didn't agree with me its fine. Im too old to think everyone should agree with me otherwise they deserve insults or to even think I need to spend ober R300k of my hard earned money just to be seen in a german brand. 10 to 15 years ago, maybe. Not today. If thats your lane, its fine. Its your money after all and Im just someone who expressed their opinion on a comment with my reasons not insults. I don't know you and you dont know me. 👍👍

@Mr_Matu Год назад

There's nothing limited about this car. I think they should've just sold the roof box as a limited accessory.
