Mercedes-Benz V-Class Van (W447)

The W447 V-Class is the current generation of Mercedes-Benz's large MPV and commercial van platform — the architecture that serves both luxury V-Class passenger models and workhorse Vito panel vans from the same fundamental design.

Replacing the W639 in 2014, the W447 brought improved refinement, more car-like driving dynamics, and a range of OM651 and OM622 diesel engines plus petrol options for markets that demand them. The V-Class targets executive shuttle and family use; the Vito and Metris variants serve commercial duty with the same chassis engineering underneath.

The W447 remains in production across passenger and commercial variants. It is the platform that keeps Mercedes-Benz competitive in the large van and luxury MPV segments simultaneously — one Baureihe, two very different customers.
