Offering “tangible external strengths, great intrinsic values, maximum benefit and low costs”, the Mercedes-Benz Vito is the “versatile and real professional among mid-size vans”.
The multipurpose Mercedes-Benz Vito is available at Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, in its showroom on Salwa Road, Doha.
“From skilled crafts and trades to retail, service providers, shuttle services and taxis – the new Vito is truly one vehicle for all. The Vito Tourer sees Mercedes-Benz opening an entirely new chapter in passenger transport,” according to a press statement issued by NBK Automobiles.
“You set the course – and the Vito Tourer will take care of everything else, giving you even more flexibility when it comes to transporting your passengers. With its wide range of configurations, seating from two to 9, along with numerous equipment choices, the new Vito Tourer is as individual as your passengers. Available in three basic designs – Vito Tourer BASE, Tourer PRO and Tourer SELECT – it serves all segments in the field of commercial passenger transport,” the statement notes.
The Vito uses the best of what Mercedes-Benz has to offer. The M274 is a well-proven and tested turbocharged petrol engine known from other models. With a delivery of 211Hp and 350Nm (10Nm more than the previous V6 engine), it delivers “great performance with optimum efficiency”.
In terms of power ratings and performance characteristics, the engine in the Vito is tuned precisely to the requirements profile of a Mercedes-Benz van.
As usual, Mercedes-Benz also sets a good example when it comes to protecting all of the vehicle’s occupants – with up to six airbags, including optional window bags and thorax/pelvis side bags for the driver and co-driver. The new Vito Tourer still enhances this safety level and can be regarded as the new benchmark in this regard with its maximum eight airbags for the driver and passengers.
“This optional assistant system constantly monitors the distance between your van and the vehicle in front, outputs an audible and visible warning before a potential collision and automatically boosts the braking power in the event of danger, helping you avoid rear-end collisions,” the statement explains.
The Vito’s standard equipment also includes Attention Assist. Based on various parameters, it draws conclusions as to the driver’s condition. More than 70 different measured variables are processed for this purpose. If Attention Assist detects signs of increasing inattention or drowsiness, the driver is warned acoustically and by a symbol on the instrument cluster to take a break.
Air-conditioning is as individual as the Vito itself: every customer can arrange these systems to suit their specific model and deployment scenario. TEMPMATIC semi-automatic climate control for the cab is optional. This controls the temperature automatically but airflow and distribution are set manually. THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control is even more convenient. With this two-zone system the driver and passenger are able to set their desired temperature individually. Further, the air-conditioning system of the Vito has been upgraded to enhance its performance when dealing with the tough weather conditions of the Middle East region.
The three-passenger seat benches can be obtained with a folding outer seat to facilitate access to the rear (standard on the Vito Tourer SELECT). Thanks to the easy-entry function this seat can be folded forwards over the front anchor point in a single move and can also be removed separately.
The Vito impresses with a powerful-looking radiator grille. With its assertive and unmistakable look the new Vito is clearly an eye catcher. The van complements the large range of the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles family with perfection.
