Mercedes Vito gets facelift

This year, the Mercedes-Benz Vito turns 25 and to celebrate offering even more robust value propositions in the commerce, service and trade industries – this trusted specialist continues its legacy of being reliable, safe and versatile. The latest iteration of the Vito is locally available in Panel Van, Tourer and Mixto guise.

A nip and tuck facelift has resulted in the Vito being one of the most eye-catching mid-size vans to be seen on the road. The updated radiator grille design – with and without the chrome option – is available when ordered in conjunction with selected factory options. The options of the Vito facelift include Active Brake Assist, painted bumpers and a Driver Assist Package, ensuring that the vehicle attributes are even more attractive than its highly successful predecessor.

The designers have also updated the entire Vito range’s interior. The hard-wearing and elegant “Caluma” fabric replaces the previous “Tunja” fabric. It features a white stripe pattern on the seat cushion and backrest, while the sides and headrest are finished off in a long-lasting black. The Vito facelift includes new ventilation nozzles (similar to the class-leading V-Class) with a sporty turbine look on the left and right edges of the dashboard. In conjunction with the optional chrome package, the central dashboard is now framed by an element in high-quality piano lacquer finish. With this option the surrounds of the new ventilation nozzles also come in a chrome design.

To round off the star performer’s interior, a heavy-duty and waterproof floor covering provides improved dampening and an anti-slip surface for entering and exiting the vehicle. The facelift also extends the range of infotainment systems. The new Vito uses digital radio reception for all radio options. This means that crystal-clear and interference-free radio reception is even possible over long distances in consistently good quality. The Audio 10 system also has a Bluetooth® interface with hands-free functionality or for streaming music.

All new Mercedes-Benz Vito facelift vehicles come standard with a 5-year/100 000km ServiceCare BestBasic contract. The contract includes:

• The labour to perform the service
• The cost of all oils and lubricants for the engine, gearbox and axles
• The cost of air and fuel filters.

The Mercedes-Benz ServiceCare Complete is an all-inclusive maintenance package that offers additional comprehensive protection for the Vito facelift, resulting in increased certainty, mobility, much-needed predictability and flexibility.

The package covers all items that are included in the ServiceCare BestBasic plan, as well as wear and tear repairs (e.g. brakes, battery, clutch, suspension, oil), for a fixed cost. In addition, the CompleteCare offering adds value by including the warranty of nearly all parts and assemblies (e.g. engine, transmission, electrical components, axles and air-conditioning) and roadside assistance.
