If ever there was a van that encapsulated space and convenience, the Mercedes-Benz Vito surely sets the standard. Not your average cargo-van, this German marvel offers two-box design elegance while pushing the boundaries of practicality. With its capacities and evolutions, it sits comfortably in the very zenith of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, trumping many of its closest rivals in sheer boot space. Let's take a surgical look into the depths of this storied vehicle’s cargo hold over the years and see how it fares against other competitors in the segment.
Mercedes-Benz Vito - How has the boot space changed over the generations?
Over the generations, the boot space in the Mercedes-Benz Vito has gone through a tumultuous evolution, not unlike a high-drama soap opera. Kicking off in 1996 with the Vito 638, which delivered a staggering 4900 litres with seats folded. Fast forward to the second Vito 639 generation (2003-2010) where it saw a minimal decrease to 4650 litres. A bit of a nosedive occurred in the 2010-2014 facelift version of the Vito 639, with a paltry 430 litres. However, it's as if Mercedes had an epiphanic moment in 2014 with the Vito 447, which offered 720 litres. And if that wasn’t enough, the current models from the 2019-2024 and 2024-now editions boast a mighty 6000 litres each with the seats folded, showcasing an impressive return to over-the-top spaciousness.

The boot space compared to other Mercedes-Benz models
In the illustrious Mercedes-Benz lineup, the Vito is akin to the spacious penthouse in a luxury apartment tower. Consider the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Coupé with its 321 litres boot space or the S-Class AMG Limousine which offers 330 litres. These models seem almost apologetic compared to the cavernous Vito. Even larger models such as the G-Class Station-Wagen and the GLE AMG Coupé, clocking in at 667 and 655 litres respectively, fall short when stacked up against the Vito, particularly when it stretches to 720 litres in the most recent iteration without extra configurations. Indeed, while other models may dazzle with their plush interiors and superior tech, none of them hold a candle to the Vito when it comes to pure, unadulterated storage capacity.

How does the boot space of the Mercedes-Benz Vito compare to it's nearest competitors?
Close your eyes and ponder the likes of the Peugeot Expert, which offers a fair 1164 litres, or the Nissan Primastar with 1170 litres. Both sound impressive until you realize that our Vito doubles it up, delivering a mind-blowing 6000 litres when rear seats are folded. Then there's the Renault Trafic, which stays commendable at 1200 litres but again, plays second fiddle to the Vito’s voluminous advantage. Even the Isle-of-Space itself, the Isuzu Trooper, straining at 1189 litres, simply can’t compare. The Nissan Interstar looms large with its 3000 litres but still falls noticeably short of the Vito’s leviathan-like expanse. Consequently, if boot space were a competition, the Mercedes-Benz Vito would undoubtedly be wearing its crown snugly and gracefully.
