Extra Long Mercedes Viano 2.2 CDI in the test


When thinking usually a minivan with seating for up to eight people, comes most of us rather the Multivan VW in the sense than its counterpart from Stuttgart. That this is not unfounded, show the sales in 2012, where the Wolfsburg were able to sell nearly twice as many as T5 Mercedes Viano or Vito from.

Tons of space for luggage and passengers
As an extra long variant of the Viano extends to a length of just 5.24 meters, and offers it at a height of 1.87 meters and a width of 1.90 meters both passengers as well as the associated baggage more than enough space. For an extra charge of 976 Euro can the Viano place with four individual seats in the rear, equipped with two 3-seater series - enough for an entire handball team, including coaches. Who puts more emphasis on large storage volume instead of passenger transport, which can tilt the backrests of the seats with a simple handle or even wrap the entire seat forward. Also possible is the complete removal of the two rows of seats. For this purpose, the 2-seater bench seat and the right item must be wrapped into front, the lock will be released under the seats and be lifted out of the rail guide. Sounds simple, but it is not - because with a weight of about 25 kg for the single seat and no less than 40 kg for the 2-seater bench everyone think twice whether he really wants to reinstall after a successful expansion of the seats. If you leave it on the Viano two-seater and the rear seats parked in the garage, is a extends loaded to roof height a huge storage capacity of nearly 4610 liters, otherwise at least 2,700 or 1,140 liters of luggage space left.

Clearer interior
The cockpit of the Viano decorate decorative trim in aluminum look, practical multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, the typical Mercedes navigation system and a separate air conditioning setting for the passenger compartment. The seats are comfortably upholstered and feature addition to an adjustable in three stages Seat heating also on an electric seat adjustment with memory function. Only the low lateral support of the stalls, especially in the rear, and a lack of USB port leave room for criticism.

Powerful and well sprung
For its size the XXL-Van is firmly on the road and, thanks to the optional air suspension on the rear axle (2,029 € extra charge) excellent ride comfort. In curves the Viano staggers because of its body shape a little, this one has thanks to the high seating position and good all-round visibility is always an optimal overview. The engine is refined, powerful yet perfectly adequate for everyday use. The otherwise positive handling characteristics, however, marred by the five-speed automatic: In Tempo 65 she refuses to turn in the fifth and the gear changes are always noticeable. Is correspondingly high, unfortunately, the test consumption of 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers where no start / stop system contributed their own difficulties.
