whereas the Tourer Sport is £ 40,570 (US$ 50,550).
In terms of features, the Vito Sport builds over the

Audio 40 system with DAB and sat-nav, leatherette upholstery, chrome interior
details, a center console storage compartment, heated front seats, Highbeam

radiator grille, velour floor mats, heat-insulating glass, leather steering
wheel and gaiter, Comfort driver’s seat with lumbar support, air conditioning,
heated and electrically-adjustable mirrors, cruise control, the anti-theft
