Inside huge British car brand's new ‘blinged out' luxury EV ‘for VIPs' with 65inch cinema screen & hidden compartments
AN ICONIC luxury car brand is launching a brand new 'blinged out' electric vehicle, with a 65 inch screen. The Mercedes-Benz Vision V will be a range of luxurious people carriers, set to launch in 2026. 3 3 3 The new motors will come in a variety of different models, from ultra-luxurious "CEO transport" to seven-seater family cars. The interior of the vans will be incredibly luxe, with the seats made from white leather. Wood is also used on the walls of the car, and there are clear acrylic storage compartments attached to the doors. The cabinets are said to mimic display cabinets in high-end designer stores, and can be used to carry handbags or sunglasses. Passengers can even separate themselves from the driver with a glass panel, which creates a "private lounge." This panel can then turn into a 4k resolution 65-inch cinema screen, which can be expanded thanks to seven additional projectors in the floor and roofliner. The projectors can all be sticked together, creating a 360 degree viewing experience. The car even has both a karaoke mode and a gaming mode, meaning passengers will never be bored on long car journeys. In the back of the car there will be just two seats, similar in style to luxury airline seats, which can recline backwards. There is a 42-speaker sound system and the back windows can be made opaque to provide a "cocooning effect". Mercedes reveals its new luxury EV with 'superscreen' passengers can play video games or watch Netflix on while on move Thomas Klein, head of Mercedes-Benz Vans said that the new vehicles mark the "dawn of a new era." He added that the cars "set standards in design, comfort and an immersive user experience." This follows last year's unveiling by iconic tuning company Brabus - renowned for their long-standing partnership with Mercedes - of the ultimate home on wheels. Dubbed the Big Boy 1200, the mighty motorhome comes equipped with a full kitchen, a luxury living room, and even heated flooring, all wrapped up in a staggering £1 million price tag. The 12-metre-long, 26-tonne motorhome is based on the Mercedes Actros truck and has been expertly converted by Belgian specialist STX Motorhomes. Packed with high-end features, the Big Boy 1200 offers a 30-square-metre living space – comparable in size to a small one-bedroom flat. This impressive space is made possible by four electrically powered slide-out modules, which expand the bedroom and living areas when the vehicle is stationary.

Mercedes-Benz unveils Vision V electric limousine concept
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the Vision V, a fully electric concept MPV built on its upcoming Van Electric Architecture ( offering a preview of the company's future approach to luxury vans . The model will be part of a portfolio that will range from entry-level family vehicles to high-end limousines and VIP shuttles. Production models based on this platform are expected to launch from 2026. The Vision V marks Mercedes-Benz's attempt to define a new segment of luxury transport positioned between multi-purpose vans and chauffeur-driven limousines . The concept was revealed ahead of Auto China 2025 in Shanghai. Focus on privacy, digital immersion and space Designed with a 'Private Lounge' concept, the Vision V showcases an enclosed passenger area separated from the driver with a smart glass wall that shifts between opaque and transparent. The rear features a cinema-style setup with a retractable 65-inch 4K display, 42-speaker surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos, and seven projectors that expand visuals onto the vehicle's side windows. Passengers can interact with seven pre-configured digital modes, including entertainment, relax, gaming, work, shopping, discovery and karaoke. The cinema screen and soundbar are controlled via a central touchpad. All glass elements, including windows and partitions, feature switchable opacity to offer privacy or ambient display functionality. 'The Vision V is the beginning of a new era for Mercedes-Benz Vans. It demonstrates, in the truest sense of the word, how we bring luxury to a spacious cabin and define a new segment. With that, we set standards in design, comfort and an immersive user experience – while meeting the highest demands of our customers,' said Thomas Klein, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans. Multi-screen cockpit, aerodynamic exterior The cockpit area features a three-screen 'Superscreen' display system stretching from pillar to pillar. It delivers navigation and vehicle data using real-time graphics, while allowing user interface personalisation for both driver and front passenger. The exterior of the Vision V adopts a low-profile silhouette, short overhangs, and digital lighting elements integrated into the body panels and wheels. The vehicle is equipped with illuminated chrome detailing and interactive lighting sequences that activate when occupants approach the vehicle. Gorden Wagener , Chief Design Officer at Mercedes-Benz Group AG, added, 'The Mercedes-Benz Vans have been iconic for decades. With the Vision V we take that heritage and transform it into a completely new context of highest luxury transportation. This show car embodies the perfect harmony between luxury and van design, setting a new benchmark for the future.' The Vision V remains a concept model, but signals a strategic move by Mercedes-Benz Vans to tap into demand for high-end electric people movers. The platform is expected to support this transition globally, including in emerging markets such as India, where demand for electric mobility is steadily growing.
