Riding in the back of multiple V-Class vans last week from one Mercedes event to another made me reach two important conclusions. One is that no matter how fancy you try to make one of these vans by turning it into a VIP shuttle, it’s still going to feel like a van, and have associated van unpleasantness. The second thing is that the current fully electric, European-market EQV is so much more refined and pleasant to be aboard than the combustion versions of the V-Class.
