Mercedes-Benz has positioned the V-Class globally as a chauffeur-oriented luxury vehicle and that theme is expected to continue in India. Internationally, the V-Class is offered with multiple seating options, including seven-seat and eight-seat configurations, along with a six-seat setup featuring individual captain chairs in the middle row.

Higher-spec versions abroad get electrically adjustable rear seats with ventilation and massage functions, extending leg support, reclining backrests, tray tables and dedicated charging points. Mercedes-Benz has described the V-Class as a “private suite on wheels”, indicating that rear-seat experience will be central to the India-spec model as well.

Globally, the V-Class is available in Long (3,200mm wheelbase) and Extra Long (3,430mm wheelbase) versions. The India-bound model is expected to be based on the long-wheelbase configuration to maximise cabin space, though final specifications will be confirmed at launch.

The design follows the updated 2023 global facelift, featuring a revised front grille, updated headlamps and a clean rear profile, while retaining the MPV form factor.

The global versions of the V-Class come equipped with twin 12.3-inch displays for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Other features offered overseas include wireless charging, multi-beam LED headlamps, air suspension and a suite of driver assistance systems.

The exact feature list for India will be announced later today, but a high level of equipment is expected given the segment positioning.

The V-Class is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. In global markets, this engine is available in two states of tune - the 220d producing 163bhp and 380Nm of torque, and the 300d delivering 237bhp and 500Nm of torque. Both are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Mercedes-Benz will be announcing the pricing for the new V-Class today and it is expected to be introduced in a price range of Rs 1 Crore to Rs 1.7 crore (ex-showroom), depending on the variant introduced. Once launched, the V-Class will rival the Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM and the electric MG M9.
