Question 1

Which engines does the new Mercedes V-Class have in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

Three diesels, the V 220 d with 163 hp, the V 250 d with 190 hp and the V 300 d with 237 hp, and the petrol V 300 with 231 hp. All of them drive through an automatic gearbox, and the petrol V 300 comes in the L2 and L3 bodies.

Question 2

What do L1, L2 and L3 mean on the Mercedes V-Class?

Accepted Answer

They are the three body lengths of the same car: L1 the most compact, L2 the middle one and L3 the extra-long, which adds luggage space behind the rear seats. The longer bodies are the ones offered with every engine and trim.

Question 3

Which trims does the new Mercedes V-Class come in?

Accepted Answer

Above the base version sit Avantgarde, Style and Exclusive. Exclusive comes on the V 250 d, V 300 d and petrol V 300 in L2 or L3, and the two V 300 versions start from Avantgarde.

Question 4

What tax does a new Mercedes V-Class pay in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

The BPM on its WLTP CO₂ is already in the list price, with a surcharge on the diesels. The quarterly motorrijtuigenbelasting reads weight and fuel, so a heavy diesel people carrier pays a fuel surcharge the petrol V 300 avoids, and a diesel's first APK falls due at three years.

Question 5

Should I buy a new or a used Mercedes V-Class?

Accepted Answer

A new V-Class brings the full factory warranty and the 2024 update, with the length and trim you choose. A used one costs less and on Dutch plates pays no BPM again, but many have covered high mileages as shuttles or taxis.
