<\/p>\n\n Bucket seats and a honeycomb grille dress up the new Vito Sport-X, yet under the styling it drives exactly like the standard van <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mercedes launches the UK-exclusive Vito Sport-X crew van.<\/p>\n It features sporty styling, upgraded interior, and turbodiesel.<\/p>\n The AMG-style van is priced from \u00a356,995 ($76,900) in the UK.<\/p>\n The UK market has a strange obsession with sporty vans, and Mercedes is leaning further into it with the launch of the Vito Sport-X<\/a>. This UK-exclusive trim sits at the top of the range with a custom bodykit, racing stripes, and a nicer cabin, though the chassis and turbodiesel engine go untouched.<\/p>\n The model is based on the Select trim of the Vito Crew Van, but it reads more like an AMG<\/a> thanks to what Mercedes calls \u201cmotorsport-inspired styling.\u201d The makeover starts with a redesigned front bumper wearing larger intakes and an integrated splitter, paired with a honeycomb grille carrying the X emblem and racing stripes across the hood.<\/p>\n More: VW\u2019s New Van Shows Up In GTI Cosplay, But No One Told The Engine<\/a><\/p>\n The profile picks up side skirts and matte black Sport X decals<\/a>, but the real draw is the set of 19-inch alloys in black with white rings. The rear plays it quieter, with a roof spoiler, tinted LED taillights, and Sport-X badging on the tailgate. There is no faux diffuser, and the tailpipe stays tucked under the rear bumper.<\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz Vans<\/p>\n The color palette includes the pictured Alpine Grey alongside the Arctic White, Sodalite Blue, Obsidian Black, Kalahari Gold, High Tech Silver, Graphite Grey, and Hyacinth Red shades.<\/p>\n More: Mercedes\u2019 New Campervan Adds Headroom And A Window To The Sky<\/a><\/p>\n Moving inside, the driver and the front passenger are treated with bucket seats featuring integrated headrests and Sport-X branding, replacing the front bench of the standard van. They are upholstered in black eco-leather and dark grey suede with orange stitching, with the same treatment applied to the three second-row seats.<\/p>\n Equipment is more generous than your average van, including heated seats and steering wheel, power seats with memory, wireless charging, a reversing camera, a few ADAS, and an Anti-Theft Package. Still, the infotainment display is quite small and the dashboard is covered in hard plastic. Overall, the Vito is nowhere near a Mercedes VLE<\/a> in terms of luxury and technology, but at least it gets a few sporty touches.<\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz Vans<\/p>\n Under all of it sits a standard Mercedes-Benz Vito with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel<\/a> making 187 hp (140 kW \/ 190 PS) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque. Power runs to the rear axle through a nine-speed automatic, good for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km\/h) run in a flat 10 seconds. Mercedes added no suspension or steering upgrades, leaving the van squarely focused on utility.<\/p>\n More: Vauxhall Vivaro GS Proves Even Vans Want To Look Cool Now<\/a><\/p>\n Like the standard Vito Crew Cab, the Sport-X comes in L2 and L3 lengths with a removable rear bench. It carries up to 733 kg (1,616 lbs) of payload, 4.1 m\u00b3 (144.8 cubic feet) of load space, and a maximum towing capacity of 2,500 kg (5,512 lbs).<\/p>\n The Mercedes-Benz Vito Sport-X reaches UK dealers in September, priced from \u00a356,995 ($76,900) excluding VAT. It joins a crowded field of styled commercial vehicles that already includes the GTI-inspired VW Transporter Sportline, the stealthy Vauxhall Vivaro GS, the Fiat Scudo Onyx, Peugeot Expert Sport, and Citroen Dispatch Sport quadruplets, and the ultra-aggressive Ford Transit Custom MS-RT<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mercedes-Benz Vans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bucket seats and a honeycomb grille dress up the new Vito Sport-X, yet under the styling it drives…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71698,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20951],"tags":[21298,1291,53353,8365,53354,3622,20991,1875],"class_list":["post-71697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mercedes-benz","tag-amg","tag-diesel","tag-lcv","tag-mercedes","tag-mercedes-vito-viano","tag-mercedes-benz","tag-new-cars","tag-uk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
