Mercedes Vito Mid-Sized but Serves Effectively
Originally it is neither big nor small but having models with different dimensions
With no real shortcoming, Mercedes Vito new model is a very
comfortable van with a powerful engine. Mercedes engines replacement is
also available and you can have this facility all over the United Kingdom. The
vehicle is in its third generation and still in demand by buyers of vans. This
generation has better specs and power unit.
Ford Transit and Volkswagen Transporter are way too old then it,
so it has to do more to get market space from these two. It is a mid-sized van
and Mercedes cannot ignore this category of vehicles though it has entered
there later. Vito itself is available in several sizes so variety is offered by
the manufacturer.
Originally it is neither big nor small but having models with different dimensions means flexibility of choice for buyers. It may seem identical to V-class and Marco Polo but as you get in you easily recognize that it is Vito. You get a dashboard of a car, seats of minibus and removal of seats transform it into a camper van.
It is also available in the shape of goods carrier in which you
have big space at the rear. The exact figure of cargo capacity is 1.36 tons.
Different lengths mean you can choose the right length to meet your needs.
Standard L1 is of the mid-sized van but L2 is stretched and L3 has a longer
wheelbase which can hold more cargo than earlier two. High roof option is not
present in Vito as the manufacturer already offers Sprinter.
There are several diesel engines
Just like three different lengths you also can select from three
trim levels. All these trims offer a pack of features to enhance comfort,
driving experience and feel of the cabin. First of them is named Pure and you
get plastic bumpers and steel wheels.
Next one is Progressive which gives you air-condition and a
rear-view camera for easy parking. The last one is Premium which comes with
alloy wheels and electric folding of side mirrors. There are several diesel
engines you can pick from with liberty to choose front or rear-wheel-drive configuration.
The most fuel-efficient among these units is 1.6 litre with
front-wheel drive. But if you want extra pulling power for a loaded van then
2.1 litre is your right choice. Later will not give you the desired fuel
economy so you have to bear the cost of running. Good repute, low
maintainability cost and running cost-push you to find MERCEDES Vito engines for sale for
your vehicle.
Big names are always expensive so you have to pay a bit more than
it deserves. Most powerful Vito comes with auto nine-speed transmissions. The
four-cylinder engine has characteristics of those units used by Mercedes in C
class and E class cars. For its appropriateness for the commercial van, it has
different torque. It gives you an output of 187bhp and torque of 325lb ft.
Driver’s seat is elevated so that this big vehicle can be driven
without any problem. The steering wheel is light and responses precisely so
driving a Vito is not like driving other vans of the class.
It is not the biggest of vans
The facility of MERCEDES Benz engine
rebuild is present in the UK and during this process
glitches are removed and these units are made perfect in every possible manner.
The best character of the van is its comfort which remains with it either you
carrying empty Vito or loaded one.
Its suspension swallows road imperfections efficiently and they do
not disturb goods or persons. Ride quality is as good as you desire in other
vehicles with 17 inches wheel. Once you drive it you would like to continue
doing so. It is not the biggest of vans available in the market but it offers
good space.
Slide doors for easy access on both sides are standard so whatever
model you select you to get these. Loading and unloading is easy no matter
which side you want to do this task. Split doors at the rear open to 180
degrees too so you have many openings to put things in or take them out. The
biggest Vito, L3 has three pallets on the floor while the other two have just
two.
Sliding rails and wooden floor can be added
Interior has been covered with wooden panels which can be removed
when required. Metal loops are fixed to latch objects so that they reach the
destination in perfect shape. Sliding rails and wooden floor can be added to
transform the box at the hind.
The infotainment
system in the front cabin is of good quality and its usage has been
made easy. Dials are used to controlling different features. Wooden trim for
front cabin adds a further touch of Mercedes to this van. Some little things
are still missing like phone mount to keep viewing it and using on the go.
For better connectivity now Vito has equipped with Apple Car-play and it is needed. This cabin offers seats for three and all have good shoulder room. Backrest adjustment is also possible though not very much so relaxing posture is possible. Steering adjustment enhances good driving position possible for the driver.
