New Marco Polo Camper is the Ultimate Mercedes Van

You ultimate V-Class lifestyle experience

Marco Polo was a pretty adventurous guy and it makes sense that Mercedes-Benz has released its most kitted van yet, with his name on the back. The new Mercedes-Benz V-Class Marco Polo is a dream camper van, combining all the dynamic virtuous a German premium van with the weekend-away ability of traditional campers. Built to the best possible Mercedes standards, this is the van for those who can afford a nice local hotel, but prefer to get as close to nature as possible. 

A passport to adventure

These are the kind of views you will encounter, or even wake-up to, in a V-Class Marco Polo. The cabin is built to an ergonomic principle that prioritizes space and airiness. But it also gives the driver and passengers excellent outward visibility. The driving position is commanding, allowing anybody at the helm to confidently place the large Mercedes van on the road, or when careful parking is required. And there are many digital assistance systems too.

No rooms? No problem

The V-Class Marco Polo’s party pièce is, of course, its folding roof. The pop-up roof system enables an additional sleeping quarter ‘upstairs’. This is truly the camper’s Mercedes-Benz. If you happen to find an online overnight-safe recommendation, and they don’t have facilities, that is no issue if you have a Marco Polo.

And it plays nice with your phone

And if you are marketing a van, which can act as a second home, then many of those functions need to be present. As such the new V-Class Marco Polo has an App that enables you to control many of its powered functions, such as that pop-up roof.

A Marco Polo that likes to be on the move

Beyond all the clever bits, the V-Class Marco Polo also has some mechanical and design upgrades. It rides on a sportier suspension system, which means you won’t cause passenger alarm when winding it along with a series of corners, to get to that mountain view resort. Balancing the V-Class Marco Pole at each corner are new five-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, rolling appropriate rubber which can both handle van-weight and be responsive during spirited driving.
