The verdict

What's good

  • Instant electric torque smooths city stop-and-go for passengers
  • Cabin noise at speed far lower than diesel V-Class
  • MBUX digital cockpit and ambient lighting elevate the interior
  • Zero tailpipe emissions meets low-emission zone rules in Europe

What's not

  • 213-mile real-world range shrinks noticeably with full passenger load
  • CCS charging network gaps mean planning required outside cities
  • Van weight makes handling feel ponderous in tight spaces
  • Battery conditioning in cold weather noticeably reduces range

The engine

AC Synchronous Electric Motor

Synchronous Electric Motor (FWD)

A single permanently-excited synchronous motor driving the front axle of a full-size electric van, delivering instant, quiet torque tuned for smooth people-moving rather than sportiness. Top speed is electronically capped at 160 km/h.

Mercedes-Benz's EQ electric van, the EQV, derived from the V-Class/Vito platform and built at the company's commercial-van operations. It was among the first Mercedes EQ models to bring an EV powertrain to a luxury MPV body.
