Not all of them, now as I look over it all. There is clearly an extension at the B-Pillar here.

Thanks for the info.

Volvo should bring the EM90 to Europe, my college in Gøteborg said he has seen one in Sweden, maybe they are thinking about it?

When you are paying 100K Euros for a car even a van should have effortless performance especially that it weighs over 3100kg. Ok 6.5sec to 100 is not slow and relatively quick but when you have an equivalent price S350d doing only 5.4sec you start questioning whether for performance price ratio it's not worth paying for.

Nevertheless it's a mighty impressive car and if it drives well with excellent ride comfort the equivalent to at least an E class and refinement to match then this will be a good seller for Mercedes.

Standard spec (looks great as well with nice wheels):

AMG:

AMG Plus:

Exclusive: (looks the best)

People aren't buying them for performance, they buying them as VIP shuttles, taxis and people with larger families. Nobody buying this is looking for supercar performance.

So much enthusiasm for a van. The world has grown beyond my understanding.

It’s all about the back seats which are better than in a S-Class.

Better in which way?

 

[martinbo]

There's no visible antenna which is great. At least it doesn't suffer from van aerial disease.

Better in which way?

Much more space, much comfier seats, these luxury seats are better and roomier than in a Maybach.


You can stretch your legs and still use the front passenger seat, which you can’t in a GLS Maybach or S Maybach.

The only thing I'm wondering about is what VLS will bring to this, especially to the rear passenger space.

Me too.

It’s longer but you can get the VLE also as a LWB.

I guess it’ll be even heavier.

It would be kinda cool if there was a Maybach version.

 

[leylandi]

Noooo

More space is logical, it’s a van after all. But that doesn’t make the seats better.

With a V8 please. 4 seater and LWB.

They could build in may be a small toilet and a Nespresso coffee machine.

I’d order one the first day.

Very cool imo, but tuners will turn it into a Maybach immediately, so no need for Mercedes to come up with one, lol.

Mercedes Benz wants that cake, I guess a Maybach version will come eventually.

I am really curious how the VLE drives, it should be ultra smooth.

A van should have at least 800 kg load capacity. With only 300 kg this should be a two-seater and there are much better cars including roadsters in this category.
