The Auto 2001 in Frankfurt company Mercedes Benz introduced its first estate Vaneo, which was created on the basis Mercedes A-class (used by 40% of the units), but quite different from it. Mercedes Vaneo is how the transitional model between the smaller and more A-class too commercial minibus V-class.
Mercedes Vaneo not look like much more passenger and V, his appearance was clear association with the business model of the stamp. However, to call Vaneo van or venom is not very good, because on the amount of their capacity, it is closer to the passenger model.
From the front bumper to the centre console has some similarities with the desire A-class but farther removed. Vaneo significantly longer (overall length of 4.2 m) and above (1.83 m).
Heavy slope enormous, as the tour bus windscreen attached to his profile rapidity and dynamism. This underscores the side lines and angular body that are elements of design to strengthen external panel doors, and windows looking elongation (painted black stand between the second and third side windows). Instead wide rear side doors are slid, with large, as minivans: width of the aperture, 756 mm and 1210 mm height.
Even at the close parking, no problems with the landing of passengers. Side porog-spoyler has an additional function protects the body from the dirt ring. Rear (fifth), the door is enormous, and its vertical height England lamps almost meter. Because of their rear risers even room for exhaust ventilation system salon, and “gills” placed directly in the body of lights.
To open the door to do a couple of steps back, so more readily asymmetrical swing doors, which are offered as an option. Load large load very convenient because the bottom door is not above average growth knees rights. Behind on the floor of a retractable luggage shelf, which can be up to 120 kg of cargo. Prior to 555 kg payload-impressive for such a compact exterior and car pastors.

Prior to 555 kg payload-impressive for such a compact exterior and car pastors.
The superstructure is Sandwich-concept Mercedes Vaneo (double box “type layer”), which greatly enhances the passive safety. Powerful longitudinal blocks can effectively absorb impact energy. And this has to do with sex salon absolutely smooth-estate thing for a very worthwhile. Furthermore, there may be Vaneo and Seven, and single with the changes in the luggage compartment from 150 to 3500 litres. In addition, a wide range of applied restraint devices: front and side airbags, seatbelts with pretractors.
For pastors and car are equipped with three levels: the simplest is the Trend, medium-Family and prestigious - Ambiente, depending on whether the owner wants to turn the car in the estate representative with a leather lining and beauty “under a tree” or focus on family form. You can choose any of the 768 (!) Options saturation and transformation salon. You can rent seats or the back. With five seats in the cockpit, there is still 715 litres of luggage. And depending on the configuration of seats length cargo bay can reach 1.81 metres, but without compromising the front fantastic 2.97 m.
Plus Mercedes Vaneo proposes to five additional packages set (some of which may be due to the installation of luggage on the roof). Bike-in hardware for bicycles, Snow and Surf-for skiers respectively Dog, which will securely lock on the trip dogs and Carry, with a large box of seedlings, which can drive anything without fear of stain interior panels, made of quality materials. All these accessories can be installed on any car and much more, and is available immediately for the purchase of cars.
Originally Vaneo and V-five pastors, in which the second row of seats is on the part of (in the ratio of 60:40), or is removed from the salon. The assembly is Family “child package, which is part of standard equipment : in the trunk of the third set number two child seats designed for children weighing between 12 and 36 kilograms (weight restrictions associated with passive safety in the event of an accident the three children straps unlikely to be able to properly keep adults).
A child can bring, and one of the seats of the second series, transforming it into child in one second by pressing. This seat has brought the capacity for small things, etc. Or you can build a special child seat at Staples standard Isofix.
Vaneo Ambiente different alloy wheels, leather upholstery and steering wheel gearshift finish the front “under the tree”, folding arms in the front seat and other pleasant trifles. The additional equipment can be ordered with an electric sunroof, heated seats, parktronik, cruise and multimedia navigation system, TV, phone and high-quality audio with CD-cheyndzher.
Trend is a high-performance version of the base with a wide range of additional equipment. There are three options for execution, which takes into account individual preferences of customers.
Sit in the driver’s seat is very convenient - wide door set in several positions. Sitting still more convenient : the driver’s seat with various settings, which range over A-class. The driver sits high, but not too vertically, and reserve space on the streets simply enormous. Overview good, but when turning left and car pastors slightly hampered by the left arm windscreen. Rudder, devices are all over the inheritance of A-class. The large sliding doors are a large space for access to the rear seats. The second row is also comfortable, spacious and perfect quality materials. Couch completed in three separate chairs, each of which can be folded separately, and under extreme seats are special plastic pockets, to hold different stuff, hiding it from curious eyes. The front seats also have such capacity, but by the “glove compartment”, as the most modern and car smuggle can only accommodate gloves.
For Vaneo offered A-class borrowed from five different engines: petrol and diesel effective system Common-Rail. Two economical diesel engine capacity of 75 and 90 hp and three petrol engines from 60 kW (82 hp) to 92 kW (125 hp). The strongest at the Vaneo 1.9 petrol output 125 horsepower, but at low speeds slightly out of date. Engine “wakes up” after 4000 rpm, and then a much more car immediately beginning to stand, unusual for the estate. Very quiet turbo diesel 1.7 CDI with direct injection power of 90 hp in the cockpit of his almost inaudible, minimum vibration, but from the outside it where judgment louder than the petrol engine, ideal family model to the same relatively low fuel consumption.
The car and much more installed a five gearbox (manual or automatic), the system automatically stops the adhesion (AKS), the latest braking system (ABS, ASR, ESP, BAS) increase active safety. Suspension of all angles of the wheels of an independent body, making a car in a very much more stable and can make the best use of space within the body. A double circuit hydraulic braking system with vacuum amplifier effective even in the loaded car. Refined and predictable reaction to the turn of the wheel, the minimum banks and good resistance to the movement of the turn-Vaneo.
