Meet the new Mercedes-Benz V-Class Marco Polo

The star brand took advantage of the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon to present the new Mercedes-Benz V-Class Marco Polo. A model that offers a renewed style and a cabin equipped with the latest technology. In addition, the German manufacturer used the fair to reveal its plans to launch a range of electric camper vans on the market.

The new star models will be built on a platform called VAN.EA, whose launch is scheduled for 2026. This new platform will support medium and large vans with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

It is true that three years still remain before the planned date, and the details are still somewhat unclear. However, Mercedes-Benz has indicated that medium and large electric campers will be offered as standard. In addition, the brand has said that it will continue working with international partners to develop the new industry standard for electric camper vehicles.

Everything we know about the new Mercedes-Benz V-Class Marco Polo

The new V-Class Marco Polo features a much more expressive front end thanks to a new bumper and a larger grille. These are joined by new lighting units, a revised rear bumper, redesigned wheels and a renewed range of colours.

The changes don’t stop there. Once inside the cabin, the model offers a minimalist aesthetic and a completely new dashboard. New owners will be able to enjoy new 12.3-inch screens, a redesigned steering wheel and an updated centre console. You will also be able to enjoy extended ambient lighting, augmented reality navigation and a heated steering wheel. The Airmatic air suspension can now also level the van even when it is parked on “slightly uneven ground”.

Setting the changes aside, the new V-Class Marco Polo has a pop-up roof with a bed for two people. Two other people can sleep in the rear seat, which can be converted into an improvised bed. It also features elegant seats, a folding table and a fully equipped kitchen with worktop and sink.
