FactWhen the W447 V-Class arrived in 2014, Mercedes didn't pitch it as the old Viano's heir — it was built to replace the R-Class, a completely different model line.
The third-generation V-Class (W447) was launched in 2014 as a full-size MPV to replace the R-Class, and also marketed as the successor to the Mercedes-Benz Viano; sales commenced in Germany in May 2014 with European sales following in June. It was a long-wheelbase model initially, with compact and extra-long variants due later, and the Vito is the van version. It is also sold as the Marco Polo camper, as the Metris in North America from January 2016 to 2023, as the Valente, and, from 2020, in electric form as the EQV and eVito, and it is built in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, and at several other plants including Ladson, South Carolina, Fuzhou and Pune, on the VS20 platform. The launch model based on the V 250 BlueTEC was called Edition 1.

Owning one
An estimate, for the EQV 300 (electric, 204 PS) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

When the W447 V-Class arrived in 2014, Mercedes didn't pitch it as the old Viano's heir — it was built to replace the R-Class, a completely different model line.
A van beat actual SUVs at their own game: the Viano won the SUV category outright at the 19th Rallye Aicha des Gazelles desert rally.
Mercedes locked in the W638 Vito's design and patented it in February 1993 — a full three years before the van ever reached a showroom.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Chevy pitched the Astro as the anti-minivan, telling buyers life was too big for one, while it rode on a rear-wheel-drive truck frame.
The IIHS rated the Astro Poor in a 1996 crash test, yet 2001–2004 Astros later had the lowest driver death rate of any US passenger vehicle.
The boxy, unglamorous Astro quietly posted one of the best real-world safety records in America: IIHS found 2001-2004 models had the fewest driver deaths per million vehicles of any passenger vehicle on US roads.
The third-generation Tourneo Connect, released in Europe in October 2021, is a rebadged fourth-generation Volkswagen Caddy, assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.
Ford beat the 25% "chicken tax" by importing the Transit Connect as a passenger van — rear windows and seats included, then stripped out and recycled once it landed in the US.
Ford spent years in federal court over the second-gen Transit Connect: in June 2019 the US won its appeal, and judges ruled the van was cargo-only — ending Ford's workaround for the 'chicken tax.'
GM sold a rebadged Nissan NV200 as the Chevy City Express for four years, then killed it in 2018, citing weak sales and the fact that its parts weren't even compatible with GM's own parts catalog.
Its name is a pun: "S-Cargo" means "Small Cargo" but sounds just like escargot — French for snail, the shape the whole van was built to resemble.
