Automakers often use “Vision” to brand their futuristic concepts, typically associated with sporty, “will-this-ever-hit-the-road?” designs. But Mercedes-Benz? Well, they’ve redefined the game with the Vision V Concept—a minivan, yes, a minivan, that looks totally doable. Forget about concepts that seem more likely to stay in the sketchbook—this one’s practically packing its bags for 2026.
This isn’t your average minivan. No, this is a luxury limo disguised as one. Mercedes-Benz has gone all-in on comfort with a rear lounge that would make even the snobbiest of celebrities jealous. Features include a retractable 65-inch cinema screen (yes, a 65-inch screen… in a van) and an audio setup so advanced, you’ll wonder if you’ve accidentally entered a Dolby Atmos movie theater. Plus, it has 42 speakers—just in case you wanted to really feel your music in the seat of your pants.
Other features include—brace yourself—an adjustable glass wall separating you from the driver. Feeling antisocial? Hit the button, and bam, instant privacy. For those looking to put their feet up, the seats recline fully flat, because why not take a nap in your personal lounge while being chauffeured around? Oh, and the ambient lighting? It’ll match your mood. It’s like this van knows what you’re thinking. Spooky, right?
This Vision V is far more than a flashy concept. Mercedes-Benz is setting the stage for a new era of high-tech, high-comfort travel—where the road is just an accessory, and the real action is happening in the “Private Lounge.” Is this the future of vans? Looks like it is, and honestly, we’re here for it.
