A shining example of
successful family planning
The Viano is ready equipped with everything that a fully-fledged family car
needs. With room for up to eight people and a highly flexible passenger
compartment, it boasts all the right credentials for trips to the world’s essential
destinations: from nursery schools and football pitches to shopping centres to
holiday homes and amusement parks. And, of course, it comes with the qualities
that have always been the hallmark of Mercedes‑Benz: an extensive safety
package, excellent comfort and exemplary functionality.
 The Viano 5

Impressive all-round versatility

Our free time is our most precious time, but unfortunately life isn’t all play,
so we’ve given the Viano a wealth of other virtues besides. Thanks to its
comfort suspension, the vast array of equipment features and an interior with
a superior quality feel to it, the Viano isn’t just an outstanding family car;
it also makes an excellent shuttle vehicle, company car or tourer. In its
Avantgarde equipment line version, the Viano shows its sporty side. Its front
and rear sections impart the Viano an air of dynamism and prestige.

Despite all this comfort, however, the practical aspects have by no means been
neglected: compact dimensions plus a clear view out of the vehicle make the
Viano easy to park and manoeuvre, and enable you to access all standard
garages, car washes and multi-storey car parks.
 BlueEFFICIENCY 6

BlueEFFICIENCY
Innovations for sustainable mobility

For Mercedes-Benz, responsibly shaping the long-term future of mobility

is both an aspiration and a duty. The way forward is called BlueEFFICIENCY
– a package of intelligently combined, innovative technologies that help
to significantly cut fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. In the Viano
4-cylinder and V6 CDI diesel models you are now able to experience the
concrete benefits of this for yourself – without having to compromise
on safety, comfort and driving pleasure. The various measures which form
part of the standard BlueEFFICIENCY Package include:

▸ Economical 4-cylinder CDI diesel engine in two power ratings

▸ State-of-the-art V6 CDI diesel engine (with automatic transmission)
▸ Fuel-saving ECO Gear 6-speed manual transmission
▸ The inclusion of additional fuel-economy measures depending on the
particular model variant (e.g. ECO start/stop function,¹ new alternator
management, shift point recommendation,¹ ECO power steering pump,
in‑engine measures, battery management, regulated fuel pump and
rolling-resistance-optimised tyres)

Lots of room for joie-de-vivre

The Viano Trend

Eating up the miles in the Viano Trend is now more enjoyable than ever.
Numerous detail enhancements contribute towards an excellent interior
ambience and high comfort of operation. You ride in seats covered in a
premium-quality upholstery, read information off a high-contrast matrix
display and can sense the workmanship that went into crafting the controls.
Then there is the atmospheric ambient lighting and the generous use of
soft carpeting to make the passenger compartment more pleasing to the eye
and more appealing to the touch.

To say that passengers enjoy a generous sense of spaciousness while

travelling in one of the six individual comfort seats aboard the Viano Trend
would be an understatement. Capacity can even be increased to eight by
opting for bench seats in the rear. The interior is very comfortable as it is,
but can be further enhanced by the addition of special equipment features,
such as an electric sliding sunroof in the front as well as a panoramic roof
for the passengers in the rear. And to accommodate all the luggage that
adven­turous travellers usually take with them too, there is up to 4,610 litres
of luggage space (depending on the variant), along with all manner of
handy storage spaces and compartments.

A lively travelling companion

The Viano Ambiente

Instantly recognisable from afar by its alloy wheels with 225/55 R 17 tyres,
the Viano Ambiente cossets its occupants with a tastefully designed interior
featuring high-class materials. Upon opening their doors, the driver and
front passenger are welcomed by illuminated entrances and soft carpeting.
All six individual seats, the 4-spoke multi-function steering wheel, the shift
lever and parts of the inside door panelling are trimmed in leather. The
standard Lugano leather upholstery with fluting on the seat centre sections
makes a particularly elegant impression.

The electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors with integrated turn
indicators afford a larger field of vision. Elegant decor strips in a choice
of Brown or Black Burr Walnut-effect designs add an extra touch of class to
the cockpit’s high-quality surfaces. Meanwhile, the centre console offers
plenty of storage space as well as the added convenience of cup holders.
The standard equipment list for the Viano Ambiente also includes thorax
bags for driver and front passenger, plus self-levelling rear air suspension.

A step ahead of its time

The Viano Avantgarde

It’s easy to be enthusiastic about the Viano Avantgarde.

Is it a van, a saloon or a sports car? The answer is quite
simply: yes! In the Viano Avantgarde it has been possible to
combine the virtues of these different vehicle types in an
optimum way – the spaciousness of a van, the elegance of a
saloon and the dynamism of a sports car. As for its interior
appointments, all we can say is: keep your eyes on the
road while driving – even if it is sometimes difficult not to
be distracted…

For all its elegance, the Viano Avantgarde is a fully-fledged

sports car. Its powerful V6 engines guarantee maximum
motoring enjoyment, handling refinement and power
delivery. Its sports suspension with its dynamic set-up
impresses with a perfect balance of agility, good road­holding
and superb performance in curves. Its athletic character is
also expressed by its exterior, among other things through its
shapely alloy wheels, aerodynamic side skirts and its
bumpers with chrome trim strips.

Cloud nine? Or down-to-earth?

Comfort suspension and sports suspension

The Viano has always been renowned for its dynamic,

comfortable and, above all, safe handling. The pleasant
all-round driving sensation can be attributed not least
to the optional rear air suspension with electronic ­self-
levelling (standard for Viano Ambiente and Avantgarde)
as well as the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP),
which can also be optionally specified with integrated
ESP Trailer Stability Assist. Ride comfort has been
given a further boost by the comfort suspension,
featuring a comfortable spring and damper set-up as
well as new wishbones and comfort mountings. The
result: reduced noise levels and better tyre vibration

A safe haven for your little treasures

To make sure you can get all your passengers, both large and small, to their
destination with complete peace of mind, we have devised a coherent
all‑round safety concept for the Viano. It is based on a safety body with a
high-strength passenger cell accompanied by a host of sensible safety
compon­ents. These include three-point seat belts on all seats, belt
tensioners for the front seats and a seat belt reminder. Dual-stage airbags
are standard for the driver and front passenger, as well as a seat occupancy
sensor for the front passenger seat. Even more extensive airbag protection
is available in the form of optional windowbags and thorax bags¹ for the
driver and front passenger. In order to maximise active safety, the Viano
comes equipped with numerous electronic driver assistance systems.

¹ Standard for Viano Ambiente and Viano Avantgarde, thorax bags are not available in conjunction with swivelling seats and
outer armrests

Just take as much Viano as you’d like

Three design and equipment lines, three lengths,
virtually boundless possibilities

Not only does the Viano offer you freedom of mobility in abundance, it gives
you plenty of freedom of choice too. First, there are the design and
equipment lines, Trend, Ambiente and Avantgarde, each of which bestows
a distinctive character on the Viano in their own individual way. Besides this,
however, each of the equipment lines can be tailored to your individual
preferences and space requirements. You have a choice of three body
lengths in all: compact, long and extra-long which are available in both the
Trend and Ambiente, while the Avantgarde is available in both compact and
long versions. When the numerous equipment options are added to the
equation, the result is countless possible configurations – and, ultimately,
a Viano which is perfectly moulded to your lifestyle.

On the following pages you will find the relevant technical details of your
Viano: dimensions, engine, consumption and emission data – everything
clearly visible at a glance.
