In recent years, the MPV market has gradually become lively, with high cost performance and large space to meet the needs of many family users, business reception car needs. However, for most MPV models, only the first and second rows of riding comfort can be guaranteed, and the third row is only used for emergencies, which may not be used several times a year, and even lose the significance of MPV models. And the car we test drive today can be said to be equal in three rows, and 7 people can also ensure the comfort of every passenger, it is the 2021 Mercedes-Benz V 260 L.
The wheelbase of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz V 260 L has been extended to 3430mm, allowing the third row to be larger than the traditional MPV model, so that each row is equal. Plus some luxurious features and air suspension allow you to sit comfortably in the car after a busy day and relax your body and mind, and the third row no longer needs to be like a "small bench".
Three rows equals Per capita Ge You is paralyzed
In order to better experience the space performance of this Mercedes-Benz V 260 L, we also used it as a working car for a few days, so this film article focuses on sharing the space riding experience of this car with you, after all, this is also one of its biggest highlights. Experience the first row in order, the experiencer is 180cm tall, and after adjusting the front seat to the lowest, there is still a punch and two fingers in the head.
The front row remained still and we adjusted the rear seats to be more comfortable, but without affecting the rear seating position. By this time, the second row of legroom is already very abundant, and there is still half an arm allowance, plus the front foot pedals, so that you can always find your own suitable sitting position. Since the roof of the Mercedes-Benz V 260 L is basically flat, the second row of head space is similar to the first row, and there is still a punch and three fingers margin.
Next, we assume that the third row of seats is not used, adjust the seat to the final position, then the second row of passengers will have a very large legroom, one meter eight tall legs straight and even a lot of room for the front seat. In terms of head space, because the seat is adjusted to the final head is exactly the sunroof position, the head space is more abundant and the field of view is also much wider.
The second row is adjusted to a suitable sitting position, and the space after entering the third row is basically similar to the second row, but the seat height is lower, and the comfort is not better than the second row. The experiencer is 180cm tall, sitting in the third row of legs there is still half an arm margin, the head space is also about three fingers, and even in the third row can also a second leg.
Small storage space in the central aisle Armrest box transforms into a mobile refrigerator
The front door panel storage slot is more conventional, and 555ml of mineral water can be placed vertically in 7 bottles, and they are more stable. There is also a partition at the front of the door panel storage slot, and only a bottle of water can be asked to fix it, and it will not make a strange sound by shaking left and right.
In contrast, the central passage storage space is indeed a little pitiful, mobile phones, water bottles, wallets and other objects can only be squeezed in the "gap" between the center console and the handrail box, and it is very difficult to take out the mobile phone when it is full of two bottles of water, if you have a pair of slender hands, it should be no problem, otherwise you can only take away two bottles of water to take out the mobile phone.
The central passage storage space is poor, I have not found a psychological balance in the storage capacity of the handrail box and the glove box, the armrest box is not very deep, 555ml of mineral water is still a third of the bottle exposed outside, there is no way to cover the armrest box lid. In the armrest box you can see a cooling button, after opening the armrest box will turn into a car mobile Xiaoice box, for those of us who also have to shoot in the hot sun in the summer is too friendly, but the disadvantage is that there are not a few bottles.
When the glove box is not opened, it seems to have a good storage ability, but after opening it, it is found that it is not as big as imagined, and the items such as women's handbags, laptops, iPads and other items cannot be put in, and can only barely put some small wallets, mobile phones, bills and other items, and the practicality is not high.
The back row comes with a small table and a mobile office tool
Coming to the rear row, two cup holders and storage slots that can accommodate the size of mobile phones are provided behind the front armrest box, and a fixture is added inside the cup holder to avoid the water cup from shaking left and right, reducing noise. The vehicle also offers a small table design behind the front seats, which are so sturdy that we can move during our commute. Unfortunately, the small table board does not adopt the integrated design with the rear seats, and in fact, the use feeling behind the front seats will still be affected.
The two separate seats in the rear have a groove in the middle armrest for the phone, but unfortunately there is no wireless charging function. After the vehicle drove up, we also found a problem, that is, the vehicle will slide out of the groove during the rapid acceleration or sharp braking of the mobile phone during the march, which still needs to be improved, if the anti-slip material can be used at the bottom of the groove can play a better role in the fixing of the mobile phone.
On the inside of the rear seats, the new car is also equipped with a storage slot the size of a mobile phone, which can only be used to put down wallets, mobile phones and other objects, but it is not convenient to take. The outside of the two seats is also equipped with a folding cup holder, made of plastic material, and the place of the water bottle is not strong, and this car is rarely used in our use these days. Overall, the second row of storage space is not rich, and there is no large storage slot, basically all storage slots can only accommodate mobile phone-sized items.
The second row of seats is equipped with a stretch storage net pocket behind it, which can hold some documents, newspapers, books and other items, and there is no way to place too large items. The third row is equipped with a cup holder on each side, and the third row together provides a total of four cup holders.
In terms of trunk space, in the case of the third row of seats not falling, this Mercedes-Benz V 260 L still has a more considerable space performance than the traditional MPV model, and there is no problem in placing two 24-inch suitcases. And thanks to the natural advantages of MPV models, users are also very convenient when picking up goods in the rear, and metal pedals have been added to the outer part of the trunk floor, so that we can not worry about stepping on dirt or scratching the vehicle. When the third row of seats is receded, the storage space is more than doubled than before it was put down, and it is fully capable of accommodating four people's short-distance travel luggage.
Write at the end
Under the hot trend of the domestic MPV market, more and more joint venture brand models have been introduced into domestic sales, such as Kia Jawa, Toyota Xena, etc., but at present, no model can pose a direct threat to the Mercedes-Benz V 260 L, and few MPV models can break the wrist with the Mercedes-Benz V 260 L in the third row. For this car, the space does not need to be "stolen", the 3430mm wheelbase has been destined to easily accommodate 7 people to travel comfortably, whether it is home or commercial is no problem.
