The New Mercedes-Benz V-Class Gets A Facelift

The V-Class is the Mercedes among MPVs. Since its introduction, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class has gone on to revolutionize the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) segment. It has a high-class appeal, comfort, efficient driving pleasure and safety. It also caters to a growing customer group who are in need of a generous amount of space but never wanted to drive an MPV because style, a sense of well-being and ride comfort have been lacking. Weststar Associates Limited, Authorized General Distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Nigeria is offering the all-new facelift V-Class specially for the comfort of all travels.

Highlights

The Mercedes-Benz V-Class easily makes for a saloon for up to 8 people. The exterior is striking with an emotional and dynamic appearance. The interior comes in a modern style and a high-class appeal, putting great emphasis on comfort. Other highlights in the V-Class include Mercedes-Benz intelligent drive, highly efficient engines and more personalized driving systems. The V-Class is the first vehicle in the segment which provides all light functions in LED technology as an optional feature.

The all-LED headlamps with Intelligent Light System make for a visual highlight as it also enhances safety. The LED headlamps come with 34 LEDs in each headlamp that give the vehicle an unmistakable appearance. It offers a much-improved vision in the dark. There are four new light-alloy wheel designs that present an even more striking appearance; they include 5-twin-spoke 17-inch, 18-inch, and 19-inch light-alloy wheels.
