Mercedes has confirmed that the Vito Sport model, available to order now, is priced from £25,495, excluding VAT.

It is available in both panel and crew van options, and is powered by the firm’s 116 and 119 Bluetec diesel engines, with outputs of 163hp and 190hp respectively, along with a choice of compact and long body lengths.

It is set apart from the standard Vito van with a number of exterior styling tweaks, including chrome sidebars, and front grille trim, colour-coded bumpers and five-spoke alloy wheels.

Inside, the Vito Sport features air-conditioning, ‘comfort’ driver and single passenger seats, ‘Sport’ branded floor mats, an Audio 15 infotainment system with colour screen, and tinted glass, while Sport models are pre-prepared for the optional navigation system.

Sport-X models are under development alongside the Sport, and expected to be available from Q1 2016, Mercedes said
