Mercedes-Benz reveals Vision V, a van for luxury travel

There is a kind of quiet confidence that defines luxury when it doesn’t need to shout to be heard. This is the approach Mercedes-Benz takes with the Vision V, a show car that doesn’t simply reimagine the van—it reinvents it as a new symbol of status. Sleek, spacious and almost meditative in its presence, the Vision V marks the beginning of a new era, not just for the brand, but for how we perceive travel as a lifestyle. Debuted in Shanghai, the concept explores what happens when comfort, technology, and design are pushed far beyond the expected.

At its core is VAN.EA—the modular and flexible electric platform that will underpin future Mercedes-Benz Vans starting in 2026. But in its execution, the Vision V is more than just a technological leap. It is a statement. Long known for its practicality, the van here becomes something else entirely: a mobile haven for privacy, expression, and unfiltered calm. From the outside, the Vision V projects discretion—its profile elegant, its lines smooth, its proportions balanced. Step inside, and the mood shifts into something more intimate. A large, automatic door opens onto a cabin that invites not just entry, but escape. It’s not transportation; it’s transition.

The space is designed with a lounge-like sensibility. White Nappa leather, silk, and polished aluminium blend with dark open-pore burr wood to create an atmosphere more akin to a private residence than a vehicle. Between two lounge chairs—ergonomically sculpted and resting on aluminium bases—a central console acts like a gallery of touch: part display case, part control hub, part fold-out chess table. There’s a quiet theatre to it all, heightened by ambient lighting that responds to music and mood.

But what truly defines the Vision V is its immersive digital experience. From the floor, a 65-inch cinema screen rises without ceremony. Accompanied by a Dolby Atmos surround system with 42 speakers and seven projectors, the vehicle becomes a sensory cocoon. The side windows become digital canvases. Sound vibrates through the seats. And for once, time on the road feels like time reclaimed.

Passengers are offered seven curated experiential ‘worlds’, tailored to how they want to feel—not just what they want to do. Whether slipping into a Relax mode that blends landscape visuals with calming audio, or choosing Entertainment to enjoy a film, each setting is part of a greater orchestration. There’s a setting for work, one for gaming, even one for karaoke. The immersive qualities aren’t gimmicks; they are subtle extensions of the atmosphere, delicately layered and intentionally refined.

Privacy is sacred in this environment. A switchable glass wall can instantly separate driver from rear lounge, while ambient light and scent—released from an elegant aluminium diffuser—elevate the moment. Everything is tactile, responsive, and human. Craftsmanship, in the traditional sense, is evident in the hand-applied wood and bespoke finishes. But there’s also a craftsmanship of emotion, where every element has been placed with care to deliver a consistent mood of quiet sophistication.

In the front, the digital experience continues. The Superscreen spans from pillar to pillar, a visual narrative that balances information with aesthetics. Real-time graphics adapt to driver preferences, mirroring the ethos of customisation that defines the Vision V throughout.

For Mercedes-Benz, this is not merely a vision—it’s a blueprint. A vehicle that blurs the line between movement and mindfulness. A lounge that travels, a sanctuary that responds. With its understated design and deeply considered interior, the Vision V doesn’t just join the conversation around the future of luxury—it changes the tone.
