Mercedes V-Class Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1996–2003) — First Generation
The first-generation Mercedes V-Class turned the practical van layout into a family-friendly minivan, offering room for up to eight people, flexible seating and a driving experience closer to a large estate car than a commercial vehicle.
Each Mercedes V-Class engine was sized for steady, loaded running rather than outright speed. Gasoline versions such as the 2.0 MT and 2.3 MT pair a manual gearbox with front-wheel drive, while the 2.3 AT diesel adds an automatic transmission, making this drivetrain the easier choice for heavy town traffic.
