Mercedes provides comfortable van artificial respiration

When you need to look at your next håndværkerbil, it is easy to relate to the supply, if you are considering a Mercedes Vito.

At the Mercedes-Benz Vans will they make it more simple to choose a van, why Vito in the future is only available in the one udstyrsvariant.

This may of course be chosen enhancement, but the starting point is always a package, where the standard equipment count things like automatic air conditioning, cruise control, lædermultifunktionsrat, komfortførersæde with armrests, lumbar support and seat heating, rain sensor, dobbeltfløjede backdoors, electrical same technical drive unit platform, prepared to 2500 kg, sidevindsassistent and chrome interiørpakke.

Testbilen, as Mercedes-Benz have made available for an Extra Magazine, the Craftsman, is a baghjulstrukket 119 CDI long version, with a seven-speed automatic gearbox and with a considerable amount of enhancement. The supple, momentstærke engine providing 190 hp and 440 Nm.

the Combination of a strong diesel engine and a leaking automatic gearbox is reasonable, if you are often in urban traffic or in heavy traffic, for it increases the comfort. In general it is hard to have objections to the way, Vito went on to say that in traffic.

The running comfortable and absorbs bumps quite well, and with a well-functioning power steering feels Vito is not as a big of traffic.

the Engine provides plenty of forces during acceleration, when Vito is empty of cargo, but the torque of 440 Nm also serves an entirely different purpose.

if you Choose its new Vito with rear-wheel drive as on the testbilen, is the model approved to run at full train weight, which concrete means that the weight of the car with read may hit up to 3050 kg. Additional 2500 kg must be tightened on the hook, if necessary. The rear-wheel drive versions are only available with Mercedes' syvtrins automatic gearbox.

Throw you extra 5000 dollars, you will get a permitted total weight of 3200 kg, and therefore increases the total train weight of around 5700 kg. If you often need to lug machines and materials, then this is the package you should go for, for it is impressive.

the load area has a lastrumsareal at 4.38 m2, and with a relatively low læssekant in behind the is it manageable to have filled the space out with the paraphernalia.

the Design, which forms the basis for the Vito, dating back from 2014. It does something about the general appearance of the produce, where among other things, the safety systems in the Vito leaves something to be desired in comparison to the competitors.

for Example, frontkollissionadvarslen, which are known from older Mercedes models, consists of a number of leds in the windscreen, which warns the yellow and red light, when you get too close to something in front. Something old-fashioned.

the infotainment system is sluggish, and although the features are excellent, so are being let down the by the old-fashioned graphics.

the Handbrake is of the old familiar Mercedesslags, where one must step on a pedal completely to the left to activate it and pull a handle to get it to release.

On the way, you can feel that the car is not state of the art.

With a boost in the equipment and the huge train weight as the trump card can kassevognen still be a sensible choice for those who have just the needs, which this model supports.

In this version, the viewer Vito upscale Mercedes-qualities with comfort in mind and a momentstærk diesel engine. The model, however, can not hide its age, where it is still lacking on among other things the security.

Vito works in many ways outdated in comparison to competitors such as the Ford Transit and VW Transporter, but with the possibility of a total train weight of up to 5700 kg, the Vito an ace in the sleeve.

Peculiar sædeløsning

In testbilen there is only space for two persons, for the third seat, the one typically found in vans of this size, is simply disappeared. Instead, where the center seat would have been a large vacant space between the two seats.

the Seat is missing, because in testbilen is opted for certain safety equipment, which obviously can not be combined with a third seat. It is a shame that the security should go so much out of the practical features.

in addition, It may also wonder, then, that the Mercedes so have not chosen to exploit the available space to create storage compartments or similar, for it is something you generally can miss in the Vito model.

Conversely, the lack of bænksæde that also the car's passenger is allowed to sit in a real bilsæde.
