Mercedes-Benz Vaneo - Practicality

Practicality

Up to 3,000 litres of cargo can fit into the Vaneo if the rear seats are removed (five seats came as standard with two third-row buckets available as a cost option). To aid with loading, a slide-out boot floor could also be specified which held up to 120 kg. Roof rails were fitted as standard to 'Trend' and 'Ambiente' models while ISOfix anchorages were included on all trim levels.

The unique body consisted of two sliding rear doors to ease access into the cabin, a higher floor to create a more car-like driving position - a consequence of the 'Sandwich Floor' construction - and a much higher roof line which improved head room. This made the Vaneo very spacious and particularly suitable for the U.K.'s Motability scheme for the disabled, as well as taxi firms.
