Super TestCar reviews - Mercedes-Benz - Vito - van rangeMercedes-Benz modelsResearch Mercedes-Benz OverviewNew Mercedes-Benz Vito van range arrives with three body styles and diesel power5 Mar 2008 MERCEDES-BENZ brought real style to the commercial van market with the current generation Vito in 2004. Adopting an all-diesel model line-up in 2007, the three-pointed star celebrates its 10th anniversary with vans in Australia in 2008 with a revised range that effectively replaces the previous 109CDI with the more powerful and yet more economical 111CDI (although the base 109CDI is retained as a cheaper entry level model for those buyers worried about the $1500 price jump for the 111CDI). Again available in three body styles and with a crew-cab interior offering, the latest Vito range provides the light commercial vehicle (LCV) market with many of the virtues for which Benz is famous.

There were also various Crew Cab models, with a second row of seating. The most popular models were the 109CDI, powered by a 65kW/220Nm 2.1-litre turbo-diesel engine that was upgraded in January 2007 to 70kW/250Nm. Also available were 115CDI (110kW/330Nm) and 119P (140kW/270Nm 3.2-litre petrol) models. The latter was replaced in January 2007 by the 120CDI, a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 with 150kW and 440Nm. |
