Mercedes-Benz releases eVito Tourer

Mercedes-Benz is launching the eVito Tourer as part of an upgrade across the mid-size van range.

The vehicle delivers 150 kW (204 hp) peak power, 362 Nm of torque for a standard top speed of 140 km/h and a range of 421 kilometres.

It adds to the Vito’s range, manufactured in Vitoria, Spain, with 508,000 units sold since its introduction in 2014.

Mercedes-Benz Vans product and marketing manager Pia Herkewitz says the upgraded Vito models feature a new systems which make them even more attractive.

“The Vito is still uncompromising when it comes to operating costs or the desire for low emissions. As before, the payload and diversity of variants are among the best in the segment. The new infotainment offerings also meet the increased demands of our commercial customers,” Herkewitz says.

Mercedes-Benz Vans EV head Benjamin Kaehler says the eVito Tourer “sets benchmarks in its segment with regard to everyday suitability and usability”.

“Thanks to the rapid charging function and to a higher range, compared to its predecessor, it can be used flexibly. It underscores our idea of a locally emission-free van.”

The eVito Tourer comes as standard with a water-cooled on-board charger with alternating current with an output of 11 kW. This means that it is capable of AC charging at home or public charging stations.

A maximum output of up to 110 kW can be charged from 10% to 80% in under 45 minutes at a rapid charging station.
