The latest V-Class, first unveiled globally in 2023, arrives with notable design updates. It carries the brand's signature grille and styling cues that echo earlier models. Built on a 3,200 mm wheelbase, the India-spec version is offered only in the extra-long 3,430 mm wheelbase format - the longest in any Mercedes car sold here. AMG Line styling is standard, bringing a star-studded grille, sporty bumper, and multi-beam LED headlights with DRLs. The MPV rides on dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels, though larger 19-inch wheels are available in international markets.
