Mercedes-Benz Unveils the Vision V: A Groundbreaking Debut in California

Mercedes-Benz has again raised the bar of automotive luxury with the debut of Vision V, a chauffeur-driven limousine capable of transforming ordinary travel into an extraordinary sensory experience. Designed like a Private Lounge, the concept version features traditionally crafted materials like burr wood and Nappa leather with cutting-edge technology for an unmistakable fusion of elegance and innovation.

After its world premiere in Shanghai earlier this year, the Mercedes-Benz Vision V started a global Grand Tour with first arrival in Dubai before heading towards the United States. The latest appearance of the MPV concept held at Pebble Beach Automotive Week in California, from August 14-17, allowed the vehicle to showcase its ability to make long journeys convenient and comfortable.

Mercedes-Benz has offered two new entertainment highlights in the Vision V, including the upgraded karaoke experience, which features English-language tracks for the US audience, as well as an enhanced cinematic experience, featuring Dolby Vision technology that elevates the standard for in-car cinema.

Additionally, the MPV concept also has a 65-inch retractable cinema screen that emerges seamlessly from the floor, separating the Private Longue from the cockpit and converting it into a space for a personal entertainment hub. Its 4K resolution offers incredible details, while 42 loudspeakers take the sound experience to the next level. There are seven projectors for creating a panoramic view and side windows that function as dynamic screens for a true 360-degree experience. Availability of adaptive ambient lighting syncs properly with the music beats.

As per the available details, Mercedes-Benz is planning to introduce its next-generation MPVs in two names: Mercedes-Benz VLE, which will have seating capacity for eight passengers, and Mercedes-Benz VLS, which will be designed specifically for an ultimate luxury experience. Mercedes-Benz VLE is set to make its global debut in 2026, while the VLS will launch thereafter.
