The all-new electric VLE.

Enjoy stress-free parking and manoeuvring thanks to rear-axle steering, allowing you to manoeuvre the VLE as agilely as a limousine. Remarkably, it reduces the curb-to-curb turning circle to 10.9 metres, giving the VLE a turning circle comparable with the new Mercedes-Benz CLA.

 

The new AIRMATIC with intelligent suspension control makes every journey a remarkably serene experience. This air suspension is also more intelligent when it comes to ride-height control. Employing Google Maps data for the first time, it cleverly keeps the vehicle as low as possible for as long as possible, reducing aerodynamic drag and thus energy consumption. With the AIRMATIC air suspension, the vehicle’s ride height can be raised and lowered by 40mm for increased ground clearance or ease of entry.

The VLE offers an impressive range of more than 700km (WLTP), perfect for long-range journeys. If you want to align the length of your coffee breaks with the charging times, perhaps order an espresso instead of a cappuccino, because the VLE can recharge up to 320km of range in a mere 15 minutes. More than 300kW standard fast-charging capability at 800-volt fast-charging stations, exemplary efficiency, and a powerful NMC battery technology with 115kWh make it possible.

Whether relaxing or working, three to six seats in the rear compartment of the VLE can be used in a versatile way. Featuring cup holders, folding tables, USB-C ports, a temperature-controlled storage compartment, and storage drawers under the seats, you’ll enjoy a variety of functional equipment options. Whatever you have planned, everyone will keep a cool head, thanks to the optional automatic dual-zone climate control for the rear.

Seat Design Classic or Excellence (depending on the selected line) provides numerous configuration options for rear seating. Individual seats are available in three levels of comfort: Comfort Seat (manual), Premium Comfort Seat and Grand Comfort Seat (electric). In addition, you can choose between manually and electrically adjustable three-seater comfort benches.

 

Individual seats and benches are available in various upholstery options, from fabric Quito with ARTICO man-made leather to ARTICO man-made leather / MICROCUT microfiber and Nappa leather. The colour palette includes black, ivory beige, and beech brown.

When you have your hands full, you can't be operating door handles. Easily open and close the two sliding doors and the EASY-PACK tailgate of the VLE via HANDS-FREE ACCESS, with a gentle kick. Another highlight in the VLE are the fully retractable windows in the sliding doors.

With an extendable 79.5cm (31.3") high-resolution display, MBUX Rear Space Experience brings information and entertainment in the rear to a new level. Want to watch a movie, play games, or participate in a video conference? How about more than one at the same time. Care of the split-screen function, the display can be divided vertically and populated with different content. Or, if you simply prefer to enjoy the view from the vehicle, the display moves back into its ‘garage’ above the driver’s and front passenger seats.

The Burmester® 3D surround sound system with 22 speakers, 750W of system power, and Dolby Atmos® is another standout, letting you enjoy optimised sound for every seat row. The individually controlled speakers and powerful DSP amplifier pamper you with a perfectly tuned sound experience. Experience a finely adjustable 3D surround sound with unparalleled depth, and feel like you’re in the auditorium of an opera house.

The VLE features the latest MBUX, powered by Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS). It comes with artificial intelligence, combining multiple AI agents in one system. With this technology, the new MBUX Virtual Assistant revolutionises the relationship between the vehicle and the passengers in every seat, appearing as a living avatar on the MBUX Zero Layer in dynamic colours and animations.

 

The high-performance MB.OS is a holistic digital ecosystem that includes many functions in the vehicle beyond navigation and infotainment. For example, it receives regular Over-the-Air to keep your VLE up to date, adding new features without visiting a Retailer.
