Mercedes-Benz V-Class to replace R-Class

Mercedes-Benz will replace its Viano nameplate and R-Class with the upcoming V-Class. There is little known about this vehicle as yet, but the company recently released an interior image.

Reports suggest that the official vehicle will go on show at next year’s Geneva Motor Show and that it should launch internationally soon after. This model gets rid of the Viano name, but business owners will still be able to purchase the Vito, which will be a more utilitarian version of the V-Class.

The image of the cabin suggest that the V-Class will be more upmarket than the model it replaces with wood inserts, chocolate leather upholstery, several metallic accents and a more passenger-oriented feel.
