[Auto] Mercedes Teases New Electric Luxury Van Set to Debut in Spring 2025

[Wolf.17]

Mercedes-Benz has teased a new electric luxury van that will be revealed in spring 2025.

Mercedes has already said the unnamed mid-size van will be sold in the United States.

Based on the new modular VAN.EA platform, Mercedes says this will help the brand differentiate personal vans from commercial ones.

Mercedes-Benz is developing a new generation of electric vans, including a luxury model that's coming to America. The German automaker today released a teaser photo of the new van, which should be more upscale than the now-defunct Metris and will debut in spring 2025.

The new Mercedes vans will be based on the modular VAN.EA platform that the company detailed more than a year ago. Basically, it will be the foundation of all forthcoming personal and commercial vans, and it was designed to help better differentiate between the two use cases. Mercedes says VAN.EA is scalable, allowing multiple wheelbase lengths as well as various battery capacities. The EV vans will be available with front- or all-wheel drive.

Circling back to the yet-to-be-named luxury van, Mercedes previously confirmed that it would make it to our shores when it revealed the new electrical architecture. While the company today shared very few other details about it, the mid-size van that's designed for personal use will offer different levels of appointments. Those will include everything from a fancy family hauler to a C-suite shuttle to a roomy limo that would make Burt Reynolds proud.
