Thought SUVs had all but killed off the people carrier? You are wrong, and the latest Mercedes V-Class is where to pick your fight if you disagree. It has just been updated after setting a sales record in 2018, and it"s posher and more powerful than ever. The word sporty" appears in the V-Class"s bumf with alarming frequency, given that"s really not what it"s about (unless you"re Brabus), but rest assured its core abilities haven"t been forgotten. So as well as having the choice of six to eight seats if this is a family holdall, you can also make it a mobile pampering booth with a pair of luxurious reclining seats nicked from the back of an S-Class. "A journey in the new V-Class as a VIP shuttle thus feels more like a spa treatment after a stressful flight or business meeting," says Mercedes. Let"s hope the AMG Line trim doesn"t bring suspension jiggly enough to spill all the water from the Jacuzzi.
