With regard to this layout of the cabin, it can be changed - the seats rotate and move. Moreover, the rear row of seats is easily removed. If we turn the second row of seats 180 degrees, we get a passenger car with a huge luggage compartment. The smoothness of the Mercedes Viano course (the owners' testimonies to that certificate) can be compared without exaggeration to modern high-speed electric trains. The minivan is equipped with a 6-cylinder diesel engine (3 l, 224 hp) and a 5-speed automatic transmission.
