"The Mercedes Viano is essentially a van with more seats, so there is plenty of interior space."
The Mercedes-Benz Viano was to have quickly become a popular choice for all who wear long distances regularly groups of six or more adults in considerable comfort. With its origins in the Vito commercial vehicle, very few competitors offer as much space or as much durability.
available with three body sizes, compact, long or extra long, the Mercedes Viano is able to carry up to eight people, including the driver if other seat combinations are available, and some vehicles have been modified internally to carry fewer people, but in private jet level of comfort and luxury.
All models feature air conditioning, electric front windows, in the second row vent windows and tinted glass and remote central locking. aligned The entry trend is far more on practicality than luxury, the Ambient adds extra luxury features such as a 12 volt refrigerator and full leather interior, while the exterior with alloy wheels whitening and attractive trim functions.
It is worth noting that passenger versions of the Mercedes Vito van noting were also available and are cheaper than the Viano, but specifications may dramatically from Viano vary.
who also Viano Ambient rear air suspension with self-leveling feature has, helps add a bit more ride quality and on the origins of the van Viano obfuscation. This originas make it a very practical vehicle but with the seats all on longitudinal rails assembly, allowing for a variety of interior configurations. Four individual rear seats are supplied from the factory, which form each with integrated head restraints, seat belts and seat back that can fold flat a table. These can be installed in a face-to-face layout, if desired, and feature a quick-release device on the removal easier.
Additional seats were available as an option, such as a rear seat was the place of the two individual rear seats and a two-seat sofa could also be chosen. Common interior layouts are 2 + 2 + 2, 2 + 2 + 3 and 2 + 3 + 3, although aftermarket specialists have produced countless other permutations.
Three diesel engines are available. It is a 2.0-liter or 2.2-liter with 116 or 150bhp respectively both have a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. The smallest is a little less performance and driver can not drive acceptable for day-to-day for the 17.6 seconds 0-62mph time, although it may not be a problem if the car is used primarily in the city.
of 2.2-liter is more better, the automatic version of this brings that time down to 13.0 seconds. However, the 3.0-liter diesel with 204bhp is really fast, with a 9.7 seconds 0-62mph time. It is much smoother and much quieter, too. The 3.0-liter diesel was sold only in the United Kingdom as an automatic.
Best for peace and power, though far from the worst of Economics its rarely 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine that makes surprisingly the Viano is sporty to drive, while very little noise and vibration passed into the passenger compartment. It fights to beat 23.7mpg, but compared to 30.7 from the 3.0-liter diesel and 32.8mpg from the economical 2.2-liter diesel.
maintenance and repair as Mercedes is largely the same, with a service is due every year or 15,000 miles. Mercedes cars and commercial vehicles are very separate entities in the United Kingdom, so that the Viano can only be maintained or repaired by official Mercedes car repair shops, while the Mercedes Vito has to be referred to a Mercedes commercial vehicles workshop for maintenance.
Due to the lack of competition, constitutes Viano to have a large fan base and the demand for good used examples, is strong. Many can be found in the use of executive Distributors or VIP perform tasks for companies, although as spacious, comfortable remote family also have strong attraction transportation.
The Viano has now been replaced in the field by the Mercedes V-Class. You can complete our test here

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

Below average running costs
buyers looking for the most economical version of the Viano, should go for the 134bhp 2.0 diesel engine, as it is capable of 38.7mpg and produces 192g / km CO2, which means it will be £ 245 a year but cost all models fall into the same tax group to be controlled. The optional automatic transmission does little to the current costs to dent and is actually a little faster.

the driving position in the Viano is excllent for a van-based MPV offer plenty of space for the driver well over 6 feet high. Best suited to making long journeys on motorways the Viano perfect sense for taxi companies provides flight connectivity or couples planning long road trips on the continent. Because the Viano is ample parking is very difficult and on winding, bumpy roads the ride is suffering, but it remains predictable. We would choose the 2.2 CDI Ambiente model because it well priced against the competition and includes the added luxury leather seats and the smooth automatic transmission.
