I think this VLE will certainly be turning heads where ever it goes, its quite unusual and futuristic styling for a van and certainly for a Mercedes.

This car is meant to capture the Chinese Minivan market and Mercedes had to throw the kitchen sink at its exterior and interior to compete against some vehicles such as this Denza D9.

That car has a formidable interior design, but the exterior is over the top and the Mercedes beats it hands down for desirability.

Check the interior of this:

That Denza D9 might be the ugliest vehicle on sale.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

True ballers and VIPs arrange a second vclass that just transports luggage - lots of it.

Its true...

My luggage gets transported on the back seat of a Ghost.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

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

I have given up on conversations with my mates where they get excited about the latest Hyundai Sante Fe or Kia Carnival.

In fact I sent them videos of the VLE and warned them not to get hard while fasting.

The VLE is nice, but it appears to be aimed at the Chinese market.
I cannot see this being a successful hit here in the US, not by a long shot. We are still in love with large SUVs.

Depends from the engine, as an EV you’re right.

With a proper engine, I think it might work.

I agree. An I6 would sell this in America. Maybe 5-7K a year I’m guessing. There are people who modify Sprinters that I think might be interested.

It'll probably do ok as a high end celebrity transporter for shows and events. Much easier to get in and out of in their fancy outfits, than a sedan or SUV.

I guess the VLS will be a true 2+2 super luxury yacht/mobile office.

 

[Merc1]

Yep and a some families will buy too instead of a SUV.

The comments are good all across the board. Seems Mercedes did a good job here.

odd because every I7 I've ever been in has had the rear TV.

Not odd. Just insane.
