Mercedes Vito Tourer review - pictures

The Vito Tourer is the passenger carrying version of the Mercedes Vito panel van.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Vito Tourer shares a platform as the Mercedes V-Class.</span></p>

Both front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive versions are available.

Even in its shortest guise, the boot can hold 800 litres.&nbsp;<span class="s1">The Extra Long version can swallow twice that.</span>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Three body lengths are offered, Compact (4,895mm), Long (5,140mm) and Extra Long (5,370mm).&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Tourer's rear seating can be specified in rows of two or three chairs with the middle row facing forward or to the rear.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The seats can be repositioned using a grid of mounting points cut into the floor but because the seats are fixed together in rows, they are extremely heavy</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The speed sensitive power steering can be a little unpredictable, occasionally adding weight in low speed corners when you don't really want it.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">All models get Adaptive ESP, front, side and window airbags.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Plusher Select models get painted bumpers and alloy wheels that improve the look outside.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The 114 CDI is the least powerful of the rear-wheel-drive models that use a 2.1-litre Mercedes engine.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The entry-level 109 CDI unit returns 44.8mph while the 114 CDI is only slightly down with 43.5mpg.</span></p>
