It shares around 20 per cent of its chassis elements with the Viano, as well as from the outside it keeps the exact same boxy silhouette, however designer Gordon Wagener told automobile Express: “The concept was to step it away from the one-box design, which to me is outdated, as well as comes from the late nineties.”
The greatest styling modifications are at the front, where the V-Class utilizes the exact same full LED ‘Intelligent’ light system as the S-Class, as well as entire front-end has a smoother, a lot more car-like appearance. At the back, the tall, narrow lights look a lot more Peugeot than Mercedes however Wagener stated they are created to keep the boot area intact.
“Good style cannot neglect functionality. We might have made the lights bigger, a lot more three-dimensional, however if it compromised performance the style has failed.
