Mercedes-Benz EQV vs Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer
Verdict
The EQV is the premium electric shuttle here: it costs RM108,314 more, but brings a 90.0 kWh battery, 374 km EV range and RM160 annual road tax. The Vito Tourer is the bigger people-mover, with 10 seats instead of seven, a 5,370 mm body and a 3,430 mm wheelbase. It also has slightly more power at 208 hp versus 201 hp. Both are CBU MPVs with six airbags, AEB and a two-year warranty, so the real split is electric refinement versus maximum passenger capacity.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz EQV if you want an electric seven-seat executive MPV with 374 km range and lower RM160 road tax.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer if you need 10 seats, a longer 5,370 mm body and petrol refuelling.
