The cabin of the V-class is premium and well-equipped, featuring styling elements like the clean dashboard with large air-con vents and a stick-out display for the COMAND infotainment system.

"The launch of the V-Class in India firmly underscores our pioneering spirit as we introduce the 'Luxury Multi-Purpose Vehicle' segment for our discerning Indian customers," Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Martin Schwenk said.

The V-Class is targeted at a wide array of potential customers comprising large families, sports enthusiasts and businesses, he added.

Schwenk further said in 2019, Mercedes-Benz completes 25 years in India and this milestone will be marked with "a wide range of product offensive, starting with the V-Class".

"We have some of the most-awaited products planned for the Indian market in 2019 that will keep the customers and enthusiasts fascinated," he said.
