The Marco Polo Edition of the Mercedes Benz V-Class is aimed at camping and outdoor activity and is literally a mini-home, replete with all home necessities.
Mercedes Benz has launched the V-Class Marco Polo Edition at the 2020 Auto Expo. It comes in two variants – the standard V-Class Marco Polo and the entry-level Marco Polo Horizon. The Mercedes Benz V-Class Marco Polo has been priced at Rs. 1.46 crores and the Marco Polo Horizon has been priced at Rs. 1.38 crores, all prices ex-showroom. Mercedes Benz has also opened bookings for the Marco Polo Edition from today.
So what is special about the Marco Polo Edition you ask? The Mercedes V-Class Marco Polo Edition has been conceived as a ‘mobile mini-home’ and is aimed at camping and adventure. It’s a luxury camper van that can accommodate four people.
The Marco Polo Edition comes replete with a fully equipped kitchenette, fold-out tables, a two seater luxury couch, wardrobe, a 4.0 liter fridge and even a bed extension and the floor also gets a wood finish. The entry-level Horizon spec model misses out on the kitchenette, wardrobe and a few other comforts. It really comes with all the kit you could imagine in a real home.

The Mercedes V-Class Marco Polo in India is powered by a BS6-compliant OM654 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine that produces 163hp and 380Nm of torque. In fact, the power and torque figures remain identical to the Elite and Exclusive variants of the V-Class in India. The engine comes mated to a 9-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. This luxury van does not have any direct competitor in the Indian market and is aimed at a niche audience.
