Car reviews - Mercedes-Benz - Viano - people-mover range

Overview

Viano's powerful engine and spacious interior let down by some hard plastics

28 Mar 2011

The little-known Mercedes-Benz Viano people-mover has become more of a talking point with the fitment of a potent new turbo-diesel V6 engine in place of the previous four-cylinder unit.

Based on the Vito van, the single-model Viano luxury MPV comes standard with seven seats but can be ordered with eight.

It costs a considerable $74,990, which places it up against the higher-end versions of the Toyota Tarago, VW Multivan and Chrysler Grand Voyager.

The new V6 diesel has a healthy 165kW and 440Nm, which allows it to dash from 0-100km/h in 9.1 seconds.
Model release date: 1 March 2011 to 1 August 2013

Released: July 2005

Mercedes launched the Viano in Australia in 2005 as a niche luxury people-mover aimed at high-end hotels and large families.

It was available with a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel for $65,000 or a 3.7-litre petrol V6 with 170kW, with both running a five-speed automatic transmission.

Mercedes upgraded the Viano after one year with some more equipment including front and side airbags, parking sensors and rain-sensing wipers.
