Mercedes to launch V-Class Marco Polo camper on Feb 6

Mercedes-Benz is scheduled to launch the V-Class Marco Polo camper van on February 6 at the 2020 Auto Expo.

The Marco Polo is based on the V-Class MPV which has been on sale in India since November 2019. Mercedes describes it as a "luxury camper" and "mobile mini home". In the international market, the Marco Polo comes with swivel seats, rear seats that can be folded into a bed, integrated drawers and cabinets.

In India, the V-Class is currently offered in Expression, Exclusive and Elite trims. It is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 161 BHP @ 4,200 rpm and 380 Nm @ 1,400-2,400 rpm. The engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Marco Polo is expected to get the same engine and gearbox combination.
