Overview
- Mercedes will shift camper conversions from Westfalia to its Ludwigsfelde, Germany plant, while the base V‑Class continues production in Vitoria, Spain.
- The redesigned aluminum pop‑up roof adds configurable ambient lighting, improves thermal and acoustic insulation, and includes an upper bed, with reports differing on the exact headroom gain.
- Cabin updates include a new infotainment setup with Mercedes‑Benz Advanced Control for camping functions, refined folding tables and drawers, a revised bench control panel, magnetic blackout covers, a more efficient cooler, and an eight‑speaker audio system with subwoofer and Bluetooth access.
- The lineup now adds a pared‑back Horizon edition that omits the kitchenette and wardrobe yet retains the core comfort updates; pricing has not been announced.
- Powertrain hardware carries over with the 2.0‑liter turbodiesel and nine‑speed automatic, while a successor on new VAN.EA (electric) and VAN.CA (combustion) architectures is planned before the end of the decade.
