Mercedes-Benz VLE

The Mercedes-Benz VLE is a battery electric large luxury MPV from Mercedes-Benz and the first product of a new generation of its passenger vans, built on the scalable VAN.EA platform. It was previewed by the Vision V concept revealed on 22 April 2025 and the production model was revealed on 10 March 2026. Mercedes-Benz says it will seat up to eight. The Vision V showed a light bar, an illuminated three-pointed-star hood ornament and chrome grille, a single sliding rear door on the passenger side and a single wraparound taillight, with a cabin of white nappa leather, wood trim and a 42-speaker Dolby Atmos system. A more luxurious and longer version is to be sold as the VLS, and petrol and diesel engines are planned later in its life cycle.
