Inside story
Both the driver and passenger get contoured seats in the new Vito,
and the brand claims the seat cushion and backrest are both larger, while the latter is higher to provide lateral support.
Both front seats have two-way head restraints and can be adjusted lengthwise as standard, likewise the backrest angle, while the driver's seat is also height adjustable. In the panel van, tall drivers now benefit from a change to the contour in the bulkhead that has increased the seat's adjustment range. A curvature in the upper section enables the backrest to tilt back 83mm further than before.
Driver and passenger can both specify comfort seats that offer an adjustable seating surface, central armrests and four-way head restraints.
Lumbar support, backrest air cushions and electric seat adjustment with memory are also available, and a double seat can be chosen instead of the single passenger seat.
Steering wheel-mounted controls can operate the audio and navigation systems.
It won't please everybody but, like its predecessor, the new Vito has a foot-operated parking brake.
More detail and pricing will emerge later this year as Mercedes builds up to the launch of a light commercial crucial to its goal of becoming the UK's second biggest-selling van brand.
