Having driven several Vito/V-class with different specs daily for my job, I can agree. Vito and Sprinter are vans, even if some have extra seats on them. The V-class is a touring car, most suited for everyday life than anything else. It's comfortable, practical and with the right specs, it's a sleeper (250 and 300 models). I'm actually sitting on the driver's seat of a 250d as I type this while I wait for my clients.

I did love our Vito. The Sprinter can be a little long for parking in city centre. 🤦🏼♂️

Great review. Can you please advise if the middle row of seats turn to face forwards in your configuration or always face to the rear? Thanks
@KrisMcDonald3 жыл бұрын
Hi Phil. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏼 Yes the seats can be turned around, they are on a rail system so would have to be lifted out and placed back, in the direction you wanted. It’s a little bit of messing around but can be done. The way I have them at the moment does stop the two front seats from reclining, so your suggestion is more practical in many ways. 👍🏻
@v3365183 жыл бұрын
@@KrisMcDonald Thanks for the reply and that’s great to know. I’m looking at getting the best of both worlds just to be awkward. I’m looking for a 6/7 seater that’s more plush than a van, so very much the same as your view. But I’m thinking of putting a pop up sleeper on top to make it viable to use for a couple of nights away now and again. In that scenario I may remove the middle seats for a weekend, benefit from the space and have a bed also. This model is certainly interesting me as the VW certainly doesn’t look at nice inside unless you spend £40-50k

@@v336518 nice! That would be awesome, and I agree with the VW, my mate has one and it’s mega but you can’t beat the dash layout on the V Class and ambient light etc. I am biased though. 😆 Good luck with it and it would be mega to post a pic once complete. 👍🏻

A very interesting review thanks. Re the seating, did this model come as an 8 seater as standard but one of the seats of the middle row has been removed and replaced with a table? Is it possible to put the table in the middle or is the row of seats made of a 2 + 1 or are they 3 individual chairs so the middle one can be removed? Thanks
@l1nds2903 жыл бұрын
Hi Mike, the van from new is speced as an 8 seater, so two times bench seat in the back which are both 3 seaters. As a no cost option at time of purchasing new, you can delete 1 bench and in its place have 2 captains seats and a folding/movable table. The captains seats are just about manageable in terms of taking them in and out of the vehicle by 1 person… but the 2 seater part of the bench (2+1) definatly needs 2 people to remove from van or turn around etc. Hope all that helps
