Mercedes Viano: give the carriage

"Mercedes Viano" - the car in all plans is attractive and interesting. Designers managed to achieve truly excellent driving qualities and ease of control, to the size of the same will be able to get used to even the most inexperienced housewife. The layout of the cabin was also successful, due to which the minivan successfully competes with such whales as the Chrysler Grand Voyager and the Ford Galaxy, and the shuttles like the Volkswagen Multivan, Hyundai Startex will outperform in all respects.

A graceful, slightly pointed in front of the body completely compensates for the aesthetic flaw in the form of a heavy task. By the way, in comparison with the predecessor, such tuning "Mercedes Viano" allowed to create a practical spacious car with relatively small dimensions. It is thanks to this stern that the open rear door can be used as a visor for several folding tourist chairs. The chairs themselves, like other numerous massive tourist props, will easily fit under the seats in the rear row.

The 7-seater passenger cabin itself is more like a mobile office for business meetings - a pair of seats behind the driver's seat are installed opposite the minivan's turn - "face" to the three rear row seats, in the center there is a convenient folding table that can be adjusted in two planes. With regard to this layout of the cabin, it can be changed - the seats rotate and move. Moreover, the rear row of seats can be easily removed. If we turn the second row of seats 180 degrees, we get a passenger car with a huge luggage compartment. The smoothness of the Mercedes Viano course (the owners' testimonies to that certificate) can be compared without exaggeration to modern high-speed electric trains. The minivan is equipped with a 6-cylinder diesel engine (3 liters, 224 hp) and a 5-speed automatic transmission.

Maximum speed "Mercedes Vivano" reaches 200 km / h, up to a hundred minivan accelerates in 9 seconds. In urban driving mode, fuel consumption does not exceed 14 liters, outside the city - about 9. Many, however, taking into account the dimensions and weight of the car - it's quite economical. With a fuel tank of 75 liters, the Mercedes Vivano is able to cover a distance of more than 800 km. In part, this economy is due to the Start / Stop system, which shuts down the engine during a brief stop and starts when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Mercedes engineers managed to extinguish the noise of the diesel engine and the street, it is possible to communicate in the cabin of the minivan with a familiar timbre. To make the long journey pleasant, comfortable and safe are designed: fine suspension, ASR and ESP systems, electric windows and side doors, quality trim, multimedia system and many useful trifles in the form of pockets, stands, etc.

Summarizing the above, we conclude: the minivan looks actual and stylish, despite the fact that in its appearance the motives of previous generations can be traced. "Mercedes Viano" is universal (and an office on wheels, and a capacious family car) and satisfies almost any requirements of a modern motorist.
