The Mercedes-Benz VLE marks the beginning of a new era Grand Limousine. The new model redefines design, comfort, versatility and the flexibility of generous space, combining them with an unparalleled digital experience and the driving refinement of a premium limousine. The VLE is a true “shapeshifter”, easily adapting to a wide range of needs and lifestyles. It is the ideal partner for countless situations, from flexible family vehicles or active customers, to exclusive shuttles.
“The new VLE redefines what customers appreciate about Mercedes-Benz and takes the experience to an extraordinary level. Its expressive design, combined with generous space, conveys that familiar feeling of ‘home’, in a completely new way. As part of the phased launch, we are initially introducing our new Grand Limousine in two carefully configured variants, which will not only meet but exceed customer expectations.”
Sagree Sardien, Head of Sales & Marketing Mercedes-Benz Vans
The VLE models available at launch offer a power output of 203 kW and a convincing range: up to 713 kilometres (according to WLTP) can be achieved, for example, by the electric VLE 300 with standard equipment and Advanced Plus package. This Grand Limousine measures 5,309 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width and 1,951 mm in height and has front-wheel drive and a lithium-ion battery with a usable capacity of 115 kWh.
Thanks to the modern 800 V electrical architecture, up to 355 km of range (WLTP) can be added in just 15 minutes. Thus, the electric VLE can comfortably cover journeys of approximately 1,000 km with a single short charging stop. DC fast charging is possible at 800 V stations, with a power of up to 300 kW, but also at 400 V infrastructure, thanks to a DC converter, available as an option.

Flexible seats: manual “Roll & Go” or remotely controlled “Seat Ballet”
The new Roll & Go concept allows easy moving and removal of manually operated seats. These can be slid and folded forwards and backwards with minimal effort, and fixed in any position, being also fully detachable to quickly create a loading space adapted to needs.
A unique element in this segment is the remote configuration of the interior space. With the help of MB.OS, the electrically adjustable rear seats can be controlled via the infotainment system, the side buttons, or the Mercedes-Benz app. The “Remote Variable Rear Space” function offers four preset configurations:
- “Baggage” – maximises luggage space
- “Executive” – maximises legroom in the first rear row
- “People & Baggage” – balance between luggage space and comfort
- “Standard” – classic seat position
