If you’re a fan of vans, then we have exciting news
for you; a facelifted Mercedes-Benz V-Class is just around the corner.
Uncovered during a recent round of testing by Carscoops spy photographers, this V-Class prototype stands out like a sore thumb thanks
to the camouflage adorning its front fascia.
It appears as if the new bumper will
incorporate restyled air intakes. Additionally, the facelifted V-Class will
receive new headlights and a modified front grille. While not visible on this
prototype, a different rear bumper and taillights can also be expected.
If past form is anything to go off, minor changes to
the interior are also likely. It is even possible that the facelifted V-Class
could become one of the automaker’s first vehicles to adopt the MBUX
infotainment system premiered by the new A-Class.
In terms of engines, the 2.1-liter diesel engine of
the current van is tipped to remain. Consequently, it can be expected to
continue to deliver 160 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque in 220 CDI guise as well as
187 hp and 324 lb-ft in 250 d form.
