Adjustment of the driver's and front passenger's seats takes place lengthwise, in height, as you can change the inclination of the backrest and seat cushion. With all this, there are shortcomings in the car. Poor visibility: a wide front pillar closes the view during bends, and the headrest of the middle rear seat almost completely deprives the view. Unsuccessfully selected and color performance of the symbols on the instrument panel, it is orange and in sunny weather it is necessary to close the device by hand so that you can understand the indications. Despite the shortcomings, there are much more positive sides.
Structurally, the new Vito differs significantly from its predecessors. If the old layouts were front-wheel drive, had a transversely located power unit, then in the new version the gearbox and engine are located longitudinally, and the drive is now rear. Since the rear drive is prone to drifts, engineers have equipped auto with a number of electronic security systems: EPS system with ABS, traction control system, braking force distribution system and emergency braking system. Increased the strength of the car in a collision with an obstacle. In the front part there are deformable zones, which in the event of a collision absorb most of the kinetic energy.
