Luxury isn’t just about leather seats and a badge on the grille — it’s about the experience. And this week, I’ve been experiencing first-class comfort on four wheels in the updated Mercedes-Benz V300d Exclusive.
Let’s start with presence. The refreshed styling brings a more assertive front grille, sleek new LED headlights, and a subtle elegance that makes heads turn — whether you’re pulling into a five-star hotel or the school drop-off line.
Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine delivering 174kW and 500Nm through a smooth 9G-Tronic gearbox. Despite its size, the V300d moves with surprising ease, gliding over potholes and city traffic alike. It’s quiet, refined, and honestly, feels more like piloting a yacht than driving a van.
Step inside, and you’ll understand why I call it a “business class lounge on wheels.” From the plush nappa leather seats to the ambient lighting and rear-seat entertainment, the V300d is built for comfort. The middle row features swiveling captain’s chairs — perfect for meetings on the move or just relaxing with family.
Tech-wise, it’s loaded: MBUX infotainment with voice control, wireless charging, a 360-degree camera, and every driver assist you can think of. It’s clear Mercedes-Benz didn’t cut corners — they simply smoothed every one out.
Who is this for?
Luxury shuttle services, executive travel, or big families who demand nothing less than the best.

Final Verdict:
The V300d is not just a van — it’s a statement. If you’re in the market for space, elegance, and Mercedes-Benz refinement, this is as premium as people-movers get.
