The figures below describe the V300d Exclusive.
| Engine capacity | 1.95 LnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Displacement 1 950 cm3", recorded in litres. Mercedes-Benz South Africa V-Class price list (July 2025) states the same capacity and cylinder count in its model row as "1950/4". |
| Cylinders | 4noteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "No. of cylinders 4". Corroborated by the price list model row. |
| Power | 174 kWnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Performance 174 kW (237 PS)". Mercedes-Benz South Africa V-Class price list (July 2025) carries the same figure in its model row, so two Mercedes-Benz documents agree. |
| Torque | 500 NmnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Torque 500 Nm". Corroborated by the price list model row. |
| Transmission | 9G-TRONICnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Transmission 9G-TRONIC (G43)", recorded in Mercedes-Benz's own designation. The same panel gives "Transmission Category Automatic". |
| Gears | 9noteRead from Mercedes-Benz's transmission designation "9G-TRONIC"; no separate gear-count row is published. Same basis as the Hiace, whose gear count comes from "Manual-5-speed". |
| Drivetrain | RWDnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Drive type Rear-wheel drive". Second rear-wheel-drive record in the catalogue, after the Hiace. |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteCombined-cycle figure published for the South African market with no test standard named. |
| Fuel consumption | 7.0 L/100kmnote7.0 l/100 km combined for the V300d Exclusive, agreed across three current South African sources. |
| Fuel tank | 70 LnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Tank capacity (series) 70 l". Mercedes-Benz qualifies it as the series tank, so a larger optional tank may exist; the figure recorded is the standard one. |
| Fuel grade | Diesel (50ppm)noteDiesel. Mercedes-Benz specifies a diesel engine; the grade shown is South Africa's 50 ppm low-sulphur diesel. |
| Range | 1 000 kmnoteWorked out from the tank size and the claimed consumption, rounded down. |
| 0-100 km/h | 7.9 snoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Acceleration (0-62 mph) 7,9 s". The row label is Mercedes-Benz's, and it is an unlocalised one - 62 mph is 100 km/h, and the figure is the standard 0-100 km/h claim. Recorded against the metric field because it is the same measurement under an imperial label, not a converted value. |
| CO2 emissions | 177 g/kmnote177 g/km for the V300d Exclusive. |
| Seats | up to 7noteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Seats 7". The model page's own highlight text agrees - "a maximum of 7 occupants" - and names the reason the count is a maximum: "flexible seating configurations consisting of seating benches, separate seats or luxury seats". Seven is the published maximum for the configuration this record describes. |
| Doors | 4noteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Doors 4". |
| Length | 5 140 mmnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Length 5 140 mm". The panel heading names the body variant: "(Long, Diesel)". Mercedes-Benz distinguishes V-Class body lengths in its own data, so this is a positive statement that the South African car is the Long body, not an absence of the question. |
| Width | 1 928 mmnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Width (without mirrors) 1 928 mm". Mercedes-Benz publishes three widths for this vehicle - 2 249 mm with mirrors, 2 057 mm with mirrors retracted, and 1 928 mm without - and the body width is the one recorded, matching how every other record in this catalogue reads a width. |
| Height | 1 901 mmnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Height 1 901 mm". |
| Wheelbase | 3 200 mmnoteV300d Exclusive, long wheelbase. |
| Ground clearance | 133 mmnote133 mm unladen. Mercedes also quotes a laden minimum of 90 mm for this van; the unladen figure is the one shown here, in line with how ground clearance is recorded for every other vehicle in this catalogue. |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | 2 820 LnoteAbout 2 820 litres behind the second row (five seats), from one international database for the long V-Class. |
| Boot (behind last row) | 542 Lnote542 l behind the last row. |
| Boot (seats folded) | 4 630 LnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class technical data: 4 630 l, V300d long diesel. |
| Kerb weight | 2 145 kgnoteV300d Exclusive. |
| Gross vehicle mass | 3 200 kgnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa's V-Class model page, technical-data panel headed "All technical data (Long, Diesel)": "Perm. gross vehicle weight 3 200 kg". |
| Payload | Not specified |
| Towing (braked) | 2 000 kgnote2 000 kg braked, 750 kg unbraked. Mercedes-Benz's own feed prints the 750 kg figure under a braked label, which is the unbraked value mislabelled. |
| Towing (unbraked) | 750 kgnote750 kg unbraked, alongside 2 000 kg braked. Reported by a South African motoring title for the V300d and matched by two independent references. |
| Safety rating | No crash-test rating for this versionnoteGlobal NCAP's African programme has never tested a Mercedes-Benz V-Class; its published results cover mass-market small cars and bakkies. If it tests one, the result belongs on this page. Euro NCAP's only V-Class result dates from 2014 and was measured on a 2.2 litre diesel. Mercedes has since moved this van to a 2.0 litre engine, and the rating was never extended to it. If Euro NCAP tests the current vehicle, the result belongs here. ANCAP mirrored that same 2014 test and states its rating applies to the V220d and V250d versions only. It expired in December 2022, and this car is neither of those versions. |
| Airbags | 7noteSeven airbags on the V300d Exclusive. |
| Airbag positions | Not specified |
| Warranty | 5 yearsnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa V-Class price list (July 2025): "Manufacturer's Warranty 5 year / 100 000 km". |
| Warranty distance | 100 000 km 20 000 km/year · derived Compare warranties across all SUVs →noteMercedes-Benz South Africa V-Class price list (July 2025): "Manufacturer's Warranty 5 year / 100 000 km" - a distance cap, so “Warranty distance unlimited” is false. |
| Maintenance plan | 4 services / 5 years / 100 000 km |
| How it is supplied | Available separately, not included in the price |
| Service interval (distance) | 25 000 kmnoteMercedes-Benz South Africa V-Class price list (July 2025): "Service interval 25,000 km Standard". Mercedes-Benz states a distance only and no time limit, so “Service interval (time)” is left unrecorded rather than inferred. |

| Service network | ~48 authorised service points, as at 21 September 2026 In all 9 provinces. Recounted 21 September 2026 on Mercedes-Benz South Africa’s VANS dealer locator (mercedes-benz.co.za/vans/content-pool/applications/dealer-locator.html), the network that serves this vehicle: 51 retailers unfiltered, 48 with the locator’s own "Service" filter applied. All 48 were loaded and read individually: every one has a South African address and postcode, none is outside South Africa, and they span all nine provinces (e.g. Polokwane and Tzaneen, Kimberley and Upington, Rustenburg and Klerksdorp). Supersedes the 2 September 2026 count of 40 (43 unfiltered, 41 with Service, less one Botswana outlet), which could inspect only the ten nearest results.

What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
These gaps are recorded for the V300d Exclusive.
- Boot (behind 2nd row) (unverified) — About 2 820 litres behind the second row (five seats), from one international database for the long V-Class.
- Payload — Mercedes does not publish a payload for the South African V-Class. The only figures available give a kerb weight as a range across equipment levels, which yields a payload somewhere between about 774 and 865 kg. This field holds a single figure, so a range cannot be recorded here.
- Airbag positions — A South African review gives a count of six airbags, optionally eight, for the V300d, but no source itemises where they sit, and the count is not confirmed for the Exclusive grade specifically.
- Service plan (unverified) — A South African review of this model reports a five-year, 100 000 km maintenance plan. Mercedes-Benz South Africa publishes several plan tiers without stating which one ships with this derivative, so the figure is shown without corroboration.
- Service plan services (unverified) — Worked out from the plan’s 100 000 km at 25 000 km between services. The plan also ends at 5 years, which would bring the count down if services fall due more often than once a year.
- Service plan distance (unverified) — Paired with the plan duration above, and carrying the same caveat.
- Spare wheel — Nothing published in South Africa states whether the V300d Exclusive carries a full-size spare, a space saver or a repair kit.
