Mercedes - Viano

Choice is everything with the roomy but costly Viano van-based MPV. Buyers can choose between two wheelbases, three different lengths and up to eight seats!
The seats are mounted on rails and are not that easy to remove, although the system allows you to create or reduce load space quite easily by sliding them along. The individual seats can be folded flat create tables. There is no shortage of user-friendly storage options, from seat back pockets through to under-seat drawers.
Engine options are two petrol V6s and a turbodiesel; all are strong performers. Most buyers will opt for the more efficient diesels, whilst the automatic gearboxes contribute to easy driving. Some drivers may be daunted by Viano's size the two longer versions are considerably larger than most big MPVs.
Safety is a high priority on this vehicle, and Mercedes raft of electronic aids and airbag systems should protect all occupants effectively.
