Leading this evolution is the Vision V show car, a stunning preview of what’s to come. The concept merges premium design, analogue craftsmanship, and cutting-edge digital innovation, delivering a chauffeured limousine experience like no other.
The Ultimate Private Lounge on Wheels
Vision V’s standout feature is its retractable 65-inch cinema screen, part of a surround-sound setup with 42 speakers and seven projectors, transforming the cabin into a high-tech sanctuary.
The immersive experience spans seven themed modes, including gaming, working, relaxing, karaoke, shopping, and exploring surroundings in real-time via AR navigation. Smart glass technology allows for fully customizable privacy and ambient lighting adjusts to music for full sensory engagement.
Design Meets Digital Immersion
The rear lounge is accessed via a wide automatic portal door and features white Nappa leather, silk accents, and open-pore burr wood trim, creating a serene, elegant space.
Display cabinets store personal items and even gaming accessories, while the center console houses a fold-out chessboard and touchpad controls. First-class lounge chairs with flexible tubular cushions adjust electronically and recline fully for maximum comfort.
Next-Level Digital Cockpit
Up front, the Superscreen stretches across the dashboard, offering three high-resolution displays with real-time graphics and customizable UI. It’s both a command center and a personal assistant, tailored to driver and front passenger needs.
Exterior Elegance and Futurism
Sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency, the Vision V boasts a sleek silhouette, illuminated louvres, and a three-star inspired grille.
Over 450 rear louvres function as taillights and brake lights, continuing the car’s signature use of light for expression and interaction. The car greets passengers with a coordinated light show ending in a glowing Mercedes star on the hood.
A Modular, Electric Future
Built on the upcoming VAN.EA platform, Mercedes-Benz Vans is scaling electric van luxury like never before—from entry-level family models to bespoke limousines. With this move, the company positions itself as the benchmark in electric mobility for the high-end MPV market.
