This is the facelifted Mercedes V-Class, which aims to build on record sales for the people carrier in 2018 by updating the cabin technology and offering more refined and more efficient diesel engines. The exterior tweaks for the model are typical facelift fare, with no changes to the metal panels but a revised front-end look, thanks to a new bumper that incorporates air inlets to look more aggressive, and a wider radiator grille. There are also four new colours in the range, and a similar number of fresh alloy wheel designs ranging in size from 17 inches up to 19 inches. There are bigger changes in the cabin, where the V-Class gets at least some of the revisions that we鈥檝e seen on the recently updated C-Class. There鈥檚 a new dashboard, with 鈥榯urbine鈥?air vents, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and at least the option of the a digital instrument panel. A flexible seating configuration will continue to be a strong point of the V-Class. By default it鈥檒l be offered with three rows with six seats, but seven-seat and eight-seat layouts will be available across the three different lengths of vehicle.
In addition to this functionality, Mercedes now offers the possibility of 鈥榣uxury seats鈥?in the second row. These are like the items in the S-Class, so they are able to recline fully as well as offering back massage and ventilation. Auto Express understands this feature will be available shortly after launch, and that Merc UK may choose to offer it as a standalone model instead of as an option. British customers are being denied the four-wheel-drive variants on offer in mainland Europe - and we鈥檙e also restricted to Agility Control selectable damping, instead of the comfort and sports set-ups available elsewhere. However, UK models do get the most significant overall change to the vehicle, because the V moves from the ageing OM651 series of motors to Merc鈥檚 latest OM654 units. There鈥檚 also a new gearbox across the range, as the old seven-speed transmission is replaced by a nine-speed automatic. The OM 654 2.0-litre, four-cylinder powerplant, which is around 17 per cent lighter than the OM 651, is offered in a couple of states of tune. The new V-Class is due on sale in the UK by the end of February, with first deliveries of the Spanish-built vehicle due in June. The current trim levels will be retained, so the car will be offered in Sport and AMG Line editions. There鈥檚 no word yet on pricing, but with the existing V 220 d not being directly replaced in the short term at least, there could be a temporary step up in the entry point to the V-Class range. Expect a modest increase over the price of the current V 250 d, with a starting figure of around 拢54,000. Do you like the look of the updated Mercedes V-Class?
Mercedes-Benz C250 showcases the more modest-side of the Mercedes C Class. This refreshed version has scored a makeover in upgrades that feel substantial. The C250 function better in it鈥檚 revitalized skin.The Destination: Downtown Los Angeles. I started at LAX and speeded toward downtown LA where I stayed at the Standard, and then headed for the hills, the Hollywood Hills and Pasadena. The Looks: The C Class sedan is more conservative than say, the CLS, but it鈥檚 not displeasing. It鈥檚 small proportions give it a sense of lightness that is supported by drivability and subtly sculpted body work. The grille has a look at me quality that adds a bit of oom-pa-pa to the overall package. Nice twinkly LED lights, too. The Numbers: Zero to 60 mph in 5.5-7.0 sec, 201 hp and 229 pound-feet of torque. The Engine:1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-charged engine. How it drives: Smooth acceleration and responsive braking. The extra option for lumbar support made all the difference on days when the freeways were packed. The refurbished engines on this line are specialized in redistributing air flow, so we have a car that鈥檚 more responsive with better fuel economy 鈥?21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.
