Whether driving through city traffic or cruising on highways, the system ensures exceptional ride comfort and stability.it is not as much as difference rather than LED headlights.

Luxury Cabin – Where the V-Class Dominates
Buyers can choose between:
- Executive 4-seater layout (ultra-luxury lounge style)
- Premium 6-seater configuration
The V-class can be had in five colors: black, white, gray, silver, and blue. What’s interesting is that Mercedes is offering the V Class now in three different seating configurations. So, this one, for example, has these rearward-facing seats, and it’s ideal for businessmen who want to have a conversation with their associates. This is the ideal configuration for that. Then, you also get a six-seater with all front-facing seats, and that’s great for family and for road trips. And you also get a four-seater that gives you the maximum amount of space here in the cabin.

But there are a few misses. For example, this doesn’t get a panoramic sunroof. And these windows, these middle windows and these rear windows can’t be opened. The V-Class also doesn’t feature a foldout table or an entertainment screen at the rear, which is a big miss.

There is no sunroof, but this is a chauffeur-driven car focused on rear-seat luxury. With reclining seats and Airmatic suspension, the ride quality is extremely comfortable.Another big addition is this driver monitoring system, which has a front-facing camera on the inside that will keep a track of your chauffeur’s awareness, and it will let off all sorts of warning signs if it finds that your driver is distracted
