Mercedes’ new Vito Sport is now available from £25,495 in the UK, in 116 BlueTEC Compact van form, whereas the Crew Van has a base price of £27,625.
While available in both Compact and Long body, the Vito Sport comes with two engine configurations (116 BlueTEC & 119 BlueTEC), which meet stringent Euro 6 emissions regulations. Mercedes say that the new Vito’s excellent standard equipment specs are further enhanced by the combo of functionality and style featured on the Vito Sport.
This is good news for those who appreciate these types of cars, since you can never have too many vans that don’t necessarily take the joy out of driving a big comfortable car by looking like a rectangular box on wheels.
New exterior visual styling elements include chrome sidebars and front grille trim, unique rear model badging and more chrome trim on the front fog lamps and the rear tailgate. The color-coded bumpers and five-spoke alloys are also a nice touch.
Inside, the Vito Sport comes with air conditioning, comfort driver & single passenger seats, ‘Sport’ branded floor mats, the Audio 15 infotainment system (with color screen) and of course tinted windows.
Aside from that, all Vito Sport models can use the optional plug-in Becker MapPilot navigation system, which Mercedes calls a “cost-effective way of bringing fully-integrated navigation features through the standard Auto 15 head unit and visual display.”
Mercedes have also announced that Vito Sport-X models are currently under development alongside the ‘Sport’ and are expected to arrive in Q1 2016.
