Hartmann’s First Tune of New Mercedes V-Class or Metris for the US

Up until this week’s announcement from Mercedes on the NA launch of the Metris, all V-Class tunes were of no interest to US consumers.

That changes now with the confirmed launch of the North American version of the Vito in both passenger and commercial editions next fall, which could prompt European tuners like Hartmann to expand their offerings across the pond.

This is Hartmann’s first take on the all-new V-Class with the tune adding front and rear aprons, side skirts, matching colored 20-inch wheels in 245/40 low profile tires and sporty exhaust finishers.

For the inside, the aftermarket firm prepared piano black lacquered trims, aluminum doorsills and its very own floor mats.

There’s also a sports suspension kit that lowers the ride height and several ECU upgrades, including one that lifts the 119 CDI’s output from 190PS and 440Nm to 224PS and 505Nm.
