Mercedes-Benz is revamping the V-Class – it is more luxurious than ever. Test drive in the first class bus, which even has a magnetic champagne glass.
Of course, the luxury creature can also be moved. We chose the EQV - as a sort of foretaste of the upcoming full electrification of the Mercedes van division from 2026. The only thing missing is the doormats, which extend automatically when the two side doors (now standard) open fully electrically. The electric motor has a peak power of 204 hp and a peak consumption of 27 kWh per 100 kilometers. In the original test, the original EQV remained at the end of the road, with a maximum speed of 225 km/h. We covered 50 percent of the route on the other 50 percent on the motorway, mostly at 120 km/hr. Realistically, with traffic and a lot of traffic, we completed about half the route around 20 degrees of the country on roads in the south of France.
