Mercedes-Benz eVito Electric Van Review 2024

The award-winning Mercedes-Benz Vito is now available with a 100% electric powertrain. Enjoy the same versatile panel van, electrified.

Mercedes-Benz eVito driving range

Enjoy an impressive range of up to 162 miles (WLTP) with the Mercedes-Benz eVito panel van thanks to the large 60kWh battery.

It’s equipped with an 85kW electric motor with 116hp and torque of up to 360Nm. It also has a high-voltage battery with a 60kWh usable battery capacity.

Mercedes-Benz eVito performance, power and drive

Choose from three driver programmes and five recuperation levels to discover your most efficient drive. Recuperation uses the energy lost from braking or slowing down to charge the battery. The recuperation levels can be manually adjusted via the steering wheel gearshift paddles.

Based on your driving profile, you can also choose the top speed. As standard, the top speed is 51mph or 80km/h. However, this can be increased to 62mph (100km/h) or 75mph (120km/h).

It’s important to remember that higher speeds can decrease your electric range.
